i thought that i read that incorrectly when i first saw it. i dont think that this gives the full picture, as 43mill would be an enormous paycheck for any ceo, much less one for apple.

why not? i mean, that seems pretty reasonable, saying that some big hollywood directors make that much and all tehy do is sit in a chair, yell at people and get paid. Why cant Jobs get piad the same for doing the exact same thing.... sit in a chair, yell at people and get paid. :p :D
