I read it and I'm appalled... but then again... I was already, and already had Apple as the scum of the earth... this just reinforces it... I hope DOJ throws the book at them... and take them for all they got...

> As an engineer That explains a lot. The digital business is rife with discrimination and careerism and no one bats an eye, except when it affects them. The business is not exactly filled with paragons of morality but all of a sudden people are outraged. Plenty of arrogant little yups crowding in. Plenty of engineers crowding in to make their money. I feel sorry for the poor put upon engineers, selflessly working for the betterment of the world Well, there are always unions right? You can join a local union and work for a global company, and all the 30/40 something yups who work in the business VET the global companies they apply to carefully before taking that lucrative job writing code, right? Apple is alleged to have colluded... but your outrage is ONLY on Apple, I cannot recall you ever venting your outrage on any other company. There has got to be a reason, and IMHO its personal. And its not only Apple the company, here is an engineer, who is mad at investors... for THIER immoral investing... sheech. Oh and by the way, I was a recruiter. I've interviewed plenty of engineers. Those Mother Teresa like math wizards. This kind of collusion actually sucks, and I hope all of these companies get their hands slapped, but that's all that will happen because that's the way of the world now. People with careers who work for corporations are just like dukes and knights who worked for feudal kings. Your fealty enables the corporations, you are rewarded for your fealty, if you don't your career is screwed, and mostly everyone else is screwed, but maybe they can make a little investing. Join the crowd, go along to get along. Join the modern world. Get your cell phones out 30/40 somethings, 'cause its all about networking, and if your career isn't glued in by age 30 your a loser as in Beck's song. As mentioned before "Thou dost protest too much."
