Free loot from the company
Seen in Cringely’s latest piece:
“The fact that Apple sees the iPhone as a hugely important platform for the future can be seen in the company’s decision to give a top-of-the-line iPhone to every Apple employee, even part-timers. This is frigging brilliant. EVERY Apple employee becomes an iPhone evangelist. EVERY Apple employee participates in ongoing stress testing and customer feedback. You can bet that every technical problem will be addressed quickly, simply because the entire company will be experiencing these problems.”
That just sounds cool for some reason. I do get the same sort of treatment from my company, but since we do publishing all this means is that I get copies of all our magazines and books and so on. And since I already read everything in them during the translation and editing stages, that somehow isn’t as exciting as a slick new phone.
Maybe I should go work for Nissan. Ask for an Infiniti or something.
