    Entering into this form of discussion was one of the most unethical things Steve Jobs has done.  Educations are expensive 

    and these companies attempt to collude and thwart Free Enterprise illegally cannot go with a mere slap on the wrist. 

     

    Apple alone doesn't shoulder the blame nor should it pay the most but unfortunately they are as culpable as any here. 


     

    Oh, I don't know... Seeing as it was a "wink and a nod" agreement and it was between only Google and Apple... I guess it's technically collusion. I just happen to think that an unencumbered competitive job market results in the best results. Employees have many options when deciding where they want to work. I think this is more of a California thing than anything else.
