I used to own a corporation. A few actually. Not all are machines. Some are ran by humans. Maybe they are few and far between. I still believe apple is one of the few. I believe Ives has soul. He's human. Cook has heart. He's human. Maybe the passion jobs had was replaced by the heart of cook. Maybe I'm just waxing way too poetic. ;-)

AgreeI can see that Kris feels we are undermine TC's efforts. Not so. Many many people hate Apple. Tall poppy syndrome. If he does things that are free, not ROI, thats great. Big companies do that as they can afford it, and its great PR Many here hate Microsoft. Bill was worth a huge amount. Its done, great effort, successful, and giving it all way, as does Warren Buffet, and Steve Jobs will have done himself.I applaud those that do this.

"Goodwill" is a financial asset. Google tells me I probably spelled it wrong (no space) and used it incorrectly. Apologies. I meant to say the obvious - that if the public likes the image a consumer-products company projects, they're more likely to buy its products than if they didn't.Look, Kris, when we talk about any organization's "intentions", government or non-government, we're letting our imagination get the better of our brain.Organizations are machines, period. And the people who work for them are obliged either to act in their best interests - profit and longevity - or be sacked.And good will negates your earlier premise.~KLM\\ "The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.

It's sole reason for being is to make money.If its CEO takes an apparently non-business public position, you can be sure it's calculated to benefit the bottom line.When Steve Jobs was alive and heading up the corporation, his cranky charisma often obscured that fact, but it was very much in play, nonetheless.Didht you see the response? It was about how apple does things not for profit.~KLM\\ "The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.
