Apple Cuts Tim Cook's Pay After 2016 Performance Falls Short (cnbc.com)
Apple cut CEO Tim Cook's 2016 pay after the iPhone maker missed its revenue and profit goals for the year. From a report on CNBC: Although Cook's annual salary went up by $1 million, he received $8.75 million in total compensation for the year, according to an SEC filing posted on Friday, down from the $10.28 million he received in 2015. Company executives received about 89.5 percent of their targeted annual incentives. The company said its annual sales were down nearly 4 percent, or $215.6 billion, from its target of $223.6 billion, and its operating income was down 0.5 percent from its target at $60 billion, according to the filing.Apple last year faced declining revenue as it grappled with the first prolonged slump in iPhone sales. The salary of some other executives were also trimmed.
there was a time, more than 20 years ago, when slash was very liberal.
now, we're invaded by the conservatives and any post that tried to further the progressive belief system gets modded down.
what a shame that we have been infiltrated like this. as a technology-based and focused site, we historically were open minded THINKERS, here.
shame that we got invaded by the faux news crowd. ;(

HP added the thickness to their 15" laptop and not a 17" only to cover the increased need to power a screen that has more resolution than what someone will notice. I don't call that a design accomplishment so much as obligation to account for a 4k display that no one really is going to need in a 15" screen. verge article. Apple dumped 17" laptops years ago. Very few people give a shit about 17" laptops.
