Bite of the Apple

...Apple’s shareholder meeting Thursday…
Apple shareholder--some would say gadfly--who introduced himself as Shelton Ehrlich, stood at the microphone and urged against Gore’s re-election to the board. Gore “has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted,” Sheldon said, referring to Gore’s views on global warming. “If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn’t need to be re-elected."
Well, yeah…
This is the same Apple that supports California’s Global Worms/Cap’n’Tax ‘law,’ AB32. This is the same Apple who dropped out of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce when the Chamber opposed climate change legislation. And the same Apple that is opening a ginormous server farm—in North Carolina, because the business environment is so hospitable there. And the electric bills 70-100% less. Yanno—sound business decisions. [???!?!!?!??]
So why are they supporting a law that will gut the economy of the nicest state in the Union? PC points in the marketplace?
Dang. I gotta learn UNIX…

So NC is to become another victim of those who flee to greener pastures only to immediately demand that their new abode transform itself into their old one.
Not exactly a new problem, of course. Egyptians and Nubians were doing that sort of thing before Rome was even officially a village. Still, both annoying and somewhat silly.Posted by on 02/27/10 at 01:42 PM
