I wouldn't call a company that has released one hardware product for purchase so far this year innovative.
See here.
Honestly, What the heck do you do with over $600 million? I mean, you would have to try REALLY hard to spend that much money. REALLY hard. Like, REALLY.
If you read into the article, it becomes obvious that Steve Jobs did not receive any stock grants from Apple last year, or any pay beyond the $1 in salary, and that 100% of his "compensation" is appreciation of the value of stock he already holds. So as far as Apple stockholders are concerned, Jobs was paid far less than the advertised $646 million. In fact he was paid nothing.

With two companies and a family, I suspect he has trouble finding time to figure out where to give it away to... Why do you think Gates just spun it all into one big donation to a foundation charged with figuring out where to give it away to? For most of these people, I think the donations are suggested by their tax accountants.I often wonder how much I'd give away if I was worth that. I think, quite a lot.
Sorry? You walking to work across the fields? Living someplace with out police or fire protection? Skip school? Live outside the US military umbrella?The federal and state governments get almost as much of that as he does and they performed no work.
Rocketman
But why should they be compensated so highly if the movie is lame and does not meet up to it's standards of being entertaining. - ie. the "bizarre and clumsily plotted, "Gigli" is a mess. As for its stars, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez lack chemistry." (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gigli/about.php#consensus) IF I went to see that, I should have been given a full refund if I asked!
What was the direct source for that?
Mac Pro
AppleTV
iPod Shuffles in Color
New Airport extreme base stations
All released this year!!

You may not like how all of your tax dollars are spent, but it's not like the government is some ancient king counting his gold coin. Currently the government is doing more work than they're being paid for while we promise our kids will pay them back later...
I wish my official salary was $1 a year but still racked in $646 million a year![]()
Isn't there a minimum wage in the US? How does Steve get around this?
Simple fact is, Steve deserves every red cent of the money that he makes. Ford's CEO makes 28 million a quarter, how well is ford off financially? Steve took a company that was on the brink of oblivion, and through determination and brilliant leadership, made it one of the finest tech companies in the world. I wouldn't care if that were being paid in cash.
