Al Gore To Leave Apple Board After 21-Year Run; Company Reveals CEO Tim Cook’s Pay Dropped 36% In 2023 After Shareholder Pressure::Former Vice President Al Gore will exit Apple’s board of directors, the company said in an SEC filing that also revealed a pay drop for CEO Tim Cook.
Wait, the guy who claimed to be for the environment was on the board of a company that contributes unnecessary e-waste by not allowing their hardware to last its rightful lifespan?? Wish I could say I was shocked…
My 2013 MacBook Pro is running Linux and kicking ass. So, although they dropped os upgrades after 7 years, I think it says a lot about their desktops. The same cannot be said with their iOS devices, as I have an iPod Touch V1 that could be put to good use if only I could run Ubuntu touch.
I wonder what caused this much of a dip. According to the EPI, CEO salaries in general correlates to the value of their respective companies, but I can’t point to anything bad Apple did outside of forgetting to license Apple Watch components. Nothing that would make it despised among consumers, anyway.
not despised, but i think the Apple Watch injunction really hurt them because it was around the holiday season. That, and the general consumer pretty much knew there wasn’t anything new with the new iPhone that warranted an upgrade. Even my rich, boomer dad said he didn’t see why it would be worth it to upgrade and he always gets the newest models.
If they released one every 3 or 4 years, I’d buy them all, but they’re just such small bumps in tech that I end up just sticking to what I’ve got. I bought the 15 and did that Apple courier thing where they bring it to you like door dash. It was Black Friday and $9, so it seemed like a deal. The driver stole it. So, that rubbed me wrong and I’m gonna wait for the 16.
AI Gore? AI generated gore? How did apple have access to this technology for 21 years? And why would they generate gore? Just why?
It was always there, but we’ve long ignored the warnings. It invented the Internet, which we took for granted. It wasn’t until Gore seeped through a series of tubes that we realized, but by then it was too late.
It had already taken over the windmills.
I can only imagine the horrors AI Gore can generate.
Really cant you distinguish AI and Al?
They look identical in most fonts, which is a huge problem for my open source project to simulate the former Vice President. It’s called: OpenAl.
Al Gore. That is, A L G O R E
