Apple Hires DVD Jon

Posted by Zonk on from the good-job dept.

ack154 writes "As the article says, 'If you can't beat them, hire them.' TechTree.com is reporting that Apple has recently hired DVD Jon. I guess Apple has had enough cracks of their iTunes program and have decided to stop it at the source. And give the source a job."

      I think it's funnier how everyone is freaking out because of the April Fools jokes. It's one damn day out of the year. Enjoy it! Tomorrow we can go back to bashing Microsoft and software patents.

    I think it's a damn good idea. If only more companies would utilize talented guys (or girls) like Jon, think of what could be accomplished.

    In Soviet Russia jokes are formulaic and decidedly non-humorous.

    The second bit of actual news (okay, maybe) is also about Apple.
    Slashdot has made me hate April Fools. What a day to get mod points.

    " Brilliant. Apple has found another way to keep Linux users from using their products. Hire away the coders that try to make their stuff work with Linux. Strategy wise, Jobs is really beginning to match Gates! "
