Apple has been loosing employees to Microsoft among other companies. I was once a high tech recruiter, believe me the talented at Apple are getting a lot of phone calls and emails from recruiters this week. It would be pretty dumb for anyone to blame the tech workers there. Put the blame where it belongs: on AIM and whoever made the foolish interface and design decisions (Jobs), not the working stiffs. The cube's a nice looking machine but I can't believe anyone thought it would help Apple very much. I mean who do you think the target consumers are? Most execs use Microsoft Windows/Office. Did anyone really think many would defect? It's too expensive for consumers, and not upgradeable enough for professionals. The target audience consist only of Execs at design companies and well heeled dabblers. Geez, this company's getting so low I'm even considering buying. I've always considered it too risky. However at this time they'd have to fix that OSX interface for me to bite. Or announce a port to x86 machines.
