I agree that the Case for the Mac Pro is an old design by apple standards, but they really broke the mold when they designed it. I can't think of a single thing that you could change on that case with the possible exception of ever so slightly rounded edges on the handle bits that could make it any better.
Got a tip for us?

By 2016 and 2021 this country might not be in existance anymore, or even the world. The way things are going right now is proof that the economic future of this country and the world is NOT VERY BRIGHT.

The free market is corrupt and need to be abolished. And yes, I am a Socialist and for the abolition of money.. Money has been the root problems in the cause of wars and death.
I will be so glad when the FED is razed!

I think his will not show up since he is U.K. citizen. So maybe his pay was not reported on because it was in the same report these authors got everyone else's pay scales.
According to Apple his position doesn't require them to disclose his salary info to the SEC. Not sure why but my guess is all the SVP's have similar salary and stock option grants. Doesn't make sense why one SVP would be paid more than another....except maybe the CFO has a higher salary...
I certainly can't argue that free markets have avoided corruption, but Socialism hasn't exactly had a stellar track record on the corruption front... Nor on the war argument either, come to think of it...
Economic systems aren't the problem here, the governance structure around them is.
Utter FAIL. It's that no one should have that much money while others aren't able to feed themselves. It's a question of equality, not limits.
Yes. They were innovative when Steve Jobs was alive.
The Edison company had much better inventions when Mr. Edison was alive.
Same with - Ford, Leroy Grumman, etc.
Thanks guys.
Still wondering wether he makes the same kind of money as the other execs. Or less. Or more.
We'll probably never know but one would assume all the SVPs have similar (if not the same) salaries and stock option grants. Seeing as Ive spent $17M on a house in San Fran last year he's obviously not doing to shabby in the comp department.
Haha is this a joke? According to that logic a McDonalds employee should be the highest paid worker in the country. If we're measuring compensation in terms of amount of work performed.

Money changes everything. Why would the retail guy leave Apple to go to JCPenny (and then get fired)? He was offered more money. I can't think of a more contrasting company, but he went there.
Forget Samsung, how about Google?
Well the world does unfortunately reward managers even far better pay than engineers. Generic managers getting paid more than the workers while knowing a fraction as much as those in the field. Life is unfair. But hey, being a manager ain't as fun as an engineer!
LOL...really ...
A 1971 'movie' is what supports the claim that hippies and/or liberals don't like money.
Well....ok. Can't argue with that.
While he is a senior executive, he is probably not a corporate "officer".
Because he was not on the list as a potential CEO of Apple, he had peaked out. The challenge was over. It was time for a new challenge. When you reach a certain amount of wealth, it's no longer about the money, its about challenge, status, and power. I really don't know if he was offerd more money or not. I almost bought JC Penny stock, and I am glad I didn't.
Competing workstations of a similar size support more memory, disks and PCIe slots. (And, of course, they have newer CPUs than the Apple Pro.) Competing workstations of a much smaller size match the Apple Pro for for memory, disks and PCIe slots.
At least cut those nearly useless handles off so that it can be laid on its side and fit in a rack.
$17M in San Francisco buys a 2 bedroom condo.
just kidding - here's Jony's house http://www.bornrich.com/apples-desi...lion-home-san-franciscos-billionaire-row.htmlHouse prices in the Bay Area can boggle the mind, though....
Gold and silver have limited intrinsic value. They used to be valuable as money, but they don't work very well as money anymore.
They are properly categorized as industrial commodities now, like gravel.

The management of a company is there to give value to the owners of the company. They are doing a horrible job of it. Their lousy performance has cost hundreds of billions of dollars. The BOD should clean house.

Only fanbois use the word "troll".

They know that Apple's best days are behind them, and that the future earnings are unlikely to justify a stock price much above $400.
----------
Do you favor barter? No medium of exchange? Have you really thought about what that would entail?
And they didn't know that last summer when they were running the stock up to $700 a share (and some had $1000 price targets)? Bull***

still you gotta be making decent coin to afford a $17M house.$17M in San Francisco buys a 2 bedroom condo.
House prices in the Bay Area can boggle the mind, though....
I wonder what these guys actually do? Manage a team of amazing people who actually get **** done that make these guys so freaking rich?
Last summer, Apple had not yet missed 3 of the last 4 earnings estimates.
Another factor is that it takes a lot of time for the typical Apple shareholder to unload billions of dollars worth of stock without quickly depressing the market for Apple stock, so the Hedge Funds and the Pension Funds and the Mutual Funds, those lovely folks who own the company we love, create a delayed reaction. Hell, they are still selling off their excess AAPL, and that is why the share price continues to tank.
Do you think that the Hedge Funds can divest on a dime? AAPL is Big Money. It takes lots of time to turn a wounded battleship around. You can't just do a 4-wheel drift and turn 180 degrees. AAPL isn't a sports car, it is a hulk.
