I was never in Apple PR. I was Director of Strategic Relations in the Design & Publishing Markets group in 1999.
No employee relationship since then... though I did write a white paper for a marketing contractor about the Xserve last year.
I do split my time between Linux and Mac... and Linux on the desktop has come a long way in an amazingly short time. I like OS X's consistency, et al. but I sure wish it ran faster without plunking down $2K for the latest hardware...
I think the next few years will be very interesting as the Linux GUIs improve even more. I wonder if Apple or open sourcers will get to a radically new way to use computers first...?

The point isn't that I'm shocked to see material downloaded from a public Web site... the point is that Cyveillance brags about how it protects copyright: their PR placed a Businesweek piece about how they had forced a site that was using Washington Post content to pay up.
Cyveillance is basically reselling content from thousands of Web sites - original thinking, research and writing, that is not theirs... they are exactly what they claim to protect the corporate copyright owners from - they basically rip off work, including copyrighted material, and resell it.
Good scam, they make a ton of money according to their press releases, but a scam, nevertheless.

Yes. Already happened. Get over it.
