You must be a charmer at parties.
Devices scratch out of the box? 33 pages... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4326970?start=0&tstart=0
Does that include the people who put together the maps application for iOS?
Dangit.…And in the next few weeks we'll ship the new iPod touch…
As serious as this issue is, I think it very ironic that this scratching problem gets way more attention than something like, say, the ability to completely wipe a lot of Android phones just by visiting a website.When's he gonna address the scratches on the iPhone 5?
He should and he should thank the consumer also.

so guys in their offices have their 3 days off, and people working their a_s_s off all year long will continue to enjoy working their a_s_s off for the company and will take these 3 days in Feb or March like past years
great
Nice gesture and all but...
(total # Apple employees) - (Apple retail staff) - (Apple Support) = 1000 people. Maybe. And I still don't think all of them would truly have a 5-day week off. And the week that ends with Black Friday and the next business day is Cyber Monday. No way. Nooooooooo way.
Again, nice gesture...but folks who think this is 20,000+ people are incorrect.
In before "...but.. but.. they sold 5 million phones!" as if sales numbers are an indication of 100% customer satisfaction.
As a shareholder I must say that I am not happy with this. Apple has **** hitting the fan every other day and they want to have extra time off... sheesh.
Tim, you have to know how to be tough to be nice another day.
"Work is not supposed to be easy, it's supposed to be gratifying." - Ken Segall's book
. The last thing you should want is a bunch of grumpy, burnt-out employees that are wishing they were home all day long instead of getting work done.
And in other news, Foxconn and sharp employees will be working overtime through the holiday season.
Did you even read what you wrote because it sounds like you are pissed because you (in retail) have to work some of the busiest days of retail sales for the year and then - get this - you get to take those 3 days off in less hectic retail months.
So basically you are saying "Waaaaah, I have to take my 3 days later than someone else."
Wow. You seriously should look for a new line of work.
Call me when you've worked hard enough to earn that kind of consideration. Retail isn't exactly highly-skilled labor.
Thank you Tim but as usual, retail staff will not spend thanksgiving with family...
we will have to work...

great
This is awesome!
Vacation Time is better salary increase... At least, for me.
And the government can't take a cut of that...
"...in this post-PC era." R.I.P iMac/Mini/Pro
No new iMacs, no new Mac Pros, a terrible iPhone 5 launch, closure of Ping, launch of a very mediocre 'new' OSX, Lightning adaptors not available on iPhone launch, disastrous launch of Maps... yes, I can see it's been an outstanding year.
I think that's a joke but I just don't get it! Are you saying the MacBook Air is a slow computer?
Only Thanksgiving?
3 days is nothing for an "extended" period.... Especially the work Apple has done, Tim is whole-harted.
"Thanks Tim, but no thanks..... Give me 6 days, and i'll take it."
Its like putting extra effort in and not getting anytime off.
For a company as big as Apple, and all the hard work thy do, i'm really surprised that Tim didn't make this worth-while.
Oh well....something, is better than nothing at all.
