Former Boeing Executive James Bell Joins Apple's Board of Directors
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
A Board of Directors are "employees" of the shareholders with a dotted line to the company. They provide outside guidance and oversight to various dealings of the company on behalf of the shareholders. They also keep the top execs in check.
With a financial decision as well researched and informed as that, how can you lose?!
Apple likely already manufactures more metal components per year than Boeing does for all its aircraft.
You'd think he said he was from Mars based on your reaction. lol. Just saying.
He can't have that opinion if he's black? Who cares if he black and if he's not, he can't speak on the issue or what?? Or maybe he is a she it really doesn't matter.

I've done very well with Apple. I've bought and sold 4 times so far making over 10k each time. To take another 30k gamble isn't bad at all.
The Military Industrial Complex takeover of Apple is complete.
As a formidable manufacturer, it was only a matter of time before the military industrial complex would want to bring Apple into the fold.
Kevin Lynch with his too-unlucky-to-be-an-accident Flash, marked the intelligence community takeover of Apple. Any wonder he's in charge of the ultimate bio-tracker, the watch.
(Read how Adobe profiles all internet users with innocent sounding ad-trackers. Then remember this information is years out of date & figure out what they must be doing now.)
Apple publicly acknowledged its partnership with the intelligence community by announcing its participation in the NSA project with other tech companies.
Years earlier, all major silicon valley tech companies traded their customers' data for immunity from prosecution, should anyone try to sue them for handing it over to the government.
Cook and Apple have done their best to claw some of this back, implementing better privacy, so the intelligence community has to actually WORK to decrypt Apple customer data, as opposed to Microsoft et al and their open door policies. Not to mention content blockers, but any company that supplies a block list, must make its money supplying customer blocking data back to the companies they've blacklisted.
Apple is a major player now. The Arms industry is the largest industry on the planet and whether it is intelligence (sales & marketing) or manufacture, Apple is now a prime target.
I give Cook credit - although his hand is forced (if he wants to live longer than Jobs), he's doing a great job at holding back the flood.
Watch this space.

Based on history, when a black person is hired, it's usually a white person calling it a token hire, not someone of the same race
ok, a black person is hired for a top position and it'a a token hire
cool, not racist at all
