Does your firm pay for overtime? Apple doesn't

,----[ Quote ]
| The employee, Kenyon Zahner said that he usually worked for more than 40 
| hours per week at an Apple location in Florida. But, he alleged that the 
| company did not pay him extra, which is required as per the state law for 
| non-managerial employees. Zahner's attorneys in the legal documents filed in 
| the U.S. District Court in Florida stated that "The defendant knowingly had 
| the plaintiff work off the clock and did not pay the plaintiff overtime." 
| Apple is yet to file a formal response in this case.

They /did/ get paid... they just pass all the profit to Jobs and his buddies,
not to the mere peons.

Palm complains about Apple

,----[ Quote ]
| Palm synchs with Itunes by getting the perfect rainbow-hued software to
| recognise the phone as an Apple music player, allowing it to transfer files
| between the phone and a personal computer.
|
| Palm said that this is okay because Apple is restricting connections via USB,
| which it says is a blatant disregard for the terms of the standard. For its
| part, Apple might try to claim that what Palm is doing is also a breach of
| standards compliance.
