NYT Reports Steve Jobs' Exoneration

Posted by Zonk on from the happy-days-for-stevo dept.

heyitsgogi writes "The New York Times is reporting that Apple has cleared Steve Jobs of any wrongdoing. From the article: 'In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Apple said that while its investigation revealed that the company's stock option procedures did not include sufficient safeguards to prevent manipulation, Mr. Jobs did not benefit financially from any questionable stock awards.' As a result of the internal investigation, Apple said it would record $84 million in expenses related to the options awards."

    Clearly the Reality Distortion Field is expanding over time. This is the best evidence yet.

    IMHO the only reason Jobs' return to Apple was hailed so highly in the first place was because the people he replaced were as incompetent as Hell).

    Well, one way to look at it is that his return was hailed so highly in the first place because of the direct influence of the steve jobs reality distortion field (RDF). Another way to look at it is that he was hired because of the RDF as opposed to as a result of it - it tends to have a spreading effect that assists the companies he helms as well.

    There's also the fact that NeXT managed to limp along LONG after it was proven to not have a hope in hell, and that Pixar is the most successful company in its space...
