[OT] Apple at it again

Hey, I know that story! :)
...as I recall though, I don't think that the great man telling the
story, mentioned anything about that landowner deciding to change the
rules of the working relationship after the fact, so to unfairly twist
the arms of the previously hired workers, based on the latter
negotiations. Ya think?

Oh pooh! Anyone old enough to be past the grade school age has had to
deal with such things.... and your inference to someone else being
cowardly might just be a be cowardly by your own measure. <rolling
eyes>

The fact of the matter is that Mr. Jobs and Apple are in a very public
position that effect millions of people on this planet, so the things
they do or do not do, ARE subject to public scrutiny. Both good and
bad.

Whether you personally approve of them or not, opinions differing from
your always constant and immediate defense of Mr. Jobs and Apple are
just as valid as any argument that you might offer publicly.... and
chances are pretty good that for all of your defense nad bluster, you
DO NOT KNOW HIM either.
