Stupid things about Apple, post 3: 'Greed is Good, now, Bend Over Share Holders!'

I love Apple... an interpretation of a great movie moment follows...


Apple Computer, Mr. Cromwell, Apple Computer has 33 different vice presidents each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can't figure it out. One thing I do know is that our computer company lost 110 million dollars last year, and I'll bet that half of that was spent in all the emails going back and forth between all these vice presidents. The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I've been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars.

Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.

And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Apple, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much...oh, and one more thing...
