I Heart Apple


Submitted by Jim Aune on October 24, 2008 - 4:53pm


I take a fair amount of grief for being an "Apple cultist," as one of my colleagues once called it. (I still can't get on our server for Liberal Arts at TAMU--God's Harvard, as Colbert called it the other night)Here's the first item on their Start page today:

No on Prop 8
Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.
