Tell that to the 70% market share of Android users vs 23% of iOS users. People must love crappy stuff.
I'm not defending one or the other (i use both) but just reacting to your statement...
Market share is driven mainly by price points and cost acquisition not necessarily how good an item can be.

There seems to be a lot of people on this thread that didn't actually read the article..

Allow me to cut you short there buddy. I think many a *true* Apple fan have had enough of this companies shenanigans. The last thing they want to read is some jumped up buffoon like Cue being paid $60 Mil, which collectively is more than every single person who has ever joined this forum will earn in a life time combined.

TL:DR - The iPhone 7 is a so-so device, but no longer a market leading or premium. The Mac range - what Mac range? Forgotten that's what.

Apple are done.

Love the response. Not sure if Apple are done just yet. Microsoft and Google Ain't exactly positioned to blow away the competition.
 
Is he going to stash that money overseas or will he be paying taxes in the United States where he and his family have lived and received government services?
Who knows but the sad part about being a us citizen nowadays is that even if you live outside the us and earn money outside of the us exclusively, you still have to pay taxes for that country AND also taxes for the us even though everything you earn is outside and you don't even reside in the us.
 
Lots of people who don't know how stock works in here.

Its true, stock is a lost art--beef or chicken stock...

Again, the $60M that Eddy was paid is tied directly to how Apple has performed over the past 5 years. If, as you say, Apple were done then he would have received a lot less than $60M.
