Apple workers on Steve Jobs's nice list get MacBook, iPod
Ignore PC in Apple's latest TV ad as he tries to wreck Mac's Christmas. There are no Grinches this year in Cupertino. Apple's technical employees, rumor has it, were treated very, very well at a company holiday party. As a bonus, each one got a new MacBook, an 80GB iPod, and a week off. Why pay attention to the holiday gift? Such generosity suggests Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who reportedly attended the event, must have been pleased with Apple's newest products. With Macworld Expo just weeks away, we'll soon see what Apple's geeks did to earn their reward. Can anyone confirm the gift — or better yet, what prompted it?
