“At the company’s annual shareholder meeting Friday morning, Apple Inc. investors have rejected all the proposals put forward by shareholders for a vote,” Paul Ausick reports for 24/7 Wall St. “Activist investor Carl Icahn had already withdrawn his proposal for the company to increase its share repurchase program.”

Get it Carl?
Steve Jobs spinning in his grave over my disastrous leadership.
Need to audit the vote.
Shareholder votes of public corporations are audited you clueless twit.
Tim does need to knock it off with these public political causes in the company’s name and worry only about Apple’s core business. Steve was smart enough to stay away from that crap and Tim needs to start doing the same.
Amen, brother. Keep it discreet just like your love life.

Bull.
You don’t have to be a chicken to know when an egg is rotten.
Tim’s personal political agenda has absolutely nothing to do with running the company. The last time I checked at least anyway, Apple is a publicly traded corporation and not a political action group. He can donate his own personal time and money toward any of the political causes he supports all that he wants, but he shouldn’t be doing any of that using the company’s name and image though.
LOL! It would appear Apple shareholders are no smarter than election year voters.
Why is Al Gore on the board again? Maybe he is giving Apple Carbon Credits ™. /s
Or he is bringing more snow to California.
