Interesting – he has 10 years to decide if this is a good deal!!
Apple stock could be 20 fold higher by then!
Board members, they do so little, yet get so much. Not a rip on Al, true of most boards in the USA.
I was going to say, what in the hell does Al Gore actually do for the company anyway? Sounds like it’s absolutely nothing except for taking up space in board meetings and raking in stock options.
because he is a liar and a fear-monger.
and a democrat. and a loser.
I hate I hate al gore
because he is a lier and a war-monger,
and a republican, and a loser.
Rc, I agree.
Might as well have Xander Crews on the board as Al Gore.
They are pretty much interchangeable.
Al Gore-
Helped kill Nuclear so his coal buddies could reap the benefits while pumping out more pollution than any other form of energy.
Now he want’s me to drive a crappy car and pay a carbon tax.
Thx Al!
Oh Yeah-
Please don’t use that fireplace. Cause, fireplaces are baaad. mmmK?
my advice to Al would be to go on a diet and reduce your carbon butt print….he WAS great on ’30 Rock’, though.
Solve the Democratic primary mess!
Al Gore for President!
So what are doing to reduce your carbon butt print?
“So what are doing to reduce your carbon butt print?”
1) I don’t tell people to go on a diet while pigging out.
That is my view of Al Gore and his carbon offsets. “This is what y’all should do, not me…”
@I hate al gore
you being sarcastic or just absolutely dumb?
‘because he is a liar and a fear-monger.
and a democrat. and a loser.’
Al Gore would/’ve been the greatest thing for the US and the rest ow the world. That’s clear, which ever angle you look at it! Wake up a little won’t you…
@nfq,
*please*… just put the crack pipe down and *slowly* back away…
F*CK Al Gore and the horse he rode in on.
He’s a useless piece of SH*T democrap gorebull warming assh*le.
F*CK Jobs for putting him on the AAPL board. What a waste.
Haven’t even cracked the 5 day most commented yet?
People, GET BUSY!
He is a fucking liar, a scumbag, and a socialist. What inspiration could Apple draw from this leftist creep I’ll never understand. I’ll keep buying as long as they make good product, and the hell with this tree-like idot
and that’s why they talked the stock lower when there was no sales problem.
why don’t you just give the shareholders money to the people getting options. It would be more honest!
Hmm, too many crazies commenting on this story. I’m outa here.
I created the internet.
everyone hates al gore.
steve, do us some justice and shit can that shit can.
In Australia this is called Tall Poppy Syndrome… The higher they are, the harder we cut them down.
Unless you have been in an Apple board meeting STFU
You septics’ are especially funny when it comes to discussing politics … Scary, but funny.
@I too hate Al Gore, fearmonger
Well, Al Gore would’nt have cost almost 1000 billion$ and over 4000 dead american in a stupid and useless war!
You probably love some sort of GWBush or other McCains fanatics?
And republicans aren’t fearmongers? “Look, there are turrrrrsts under your bed! Fear is patriotic! Be afraid, be very afraid and vote republican because democrats are soft on turrrrr!”
MDN MW: ‘moral’. As in what republicans are not.
