Hey, I know that story! :) ...as I recall though, I don't think that the great man telling the story, mentioned anything about that landowner deciding to change the rules of the working relationship after the fact, so to unfairly twist the arms of the previously hired workers, based on the latter negotiations.

I am sensitive to these kinds of attack... <snip!> Oh pooh! Anyone old enough to be past the grade school age has had to deal with such things.... and your inference to someone else being cowardly might just be a be cowardly by your own measure. <rolling eyes> The fact of the matter is that Mr. Jobs and Apple are in a very public position that effect millions of people on this planet, so the things they do or do not do, ARE subject to public scrutiny. Both good and bad. Whether you personally approve of them or not, opinions differing from your always constant and immediate defense of Mr. Jobs and Apple are just as valid as any argument that you might offer publicly.... and chances are pretty good that for all of your defense nad bluster, you DO NOT KNOW HIM either.
