Apple admitted that Steve Jobs backdated options. They denied he knew this was ‘wrong’. Well, they say ignorance of the law doesn’t make you innocent.
This is almost as bad/stupid as buffer overflows. If I hear of another company that 1) has a software produce with buffer overflows allowing criminal spyware syndicates to Zombify the PC, 2) loses their data on a lapotop, or 3) backdates options, I may go on a shooting rampage (probably with my digital camera of course, very relaxing :).
Apparently Job’s internal buffers were overflowing if he’s really that ‘hard of thinking’ to put it politely. Sadly, people like Mad Money stock show guy think backdating is good for companies, as it shows they’re raking in the money, and the public is likely to forget about the lying cheating crooks in charge..
Now I’ve had my rant, what do others think?
