“Apple Inc. board member Al Gore, the former U.S. vice president, got an option to buy 10,000 shares of the computer maker’s stock,” Connie Guglielmo reports for Bloomberg.
“The exercise price is $129.67 a share, Apple’s closing price on March 19, according to a regulatory filing. The option expires in 10 years,” Guglielmo reports.
“In January, Gore exercised options to buy 1,000 shares at $7.48, reaping a potential profit of more than $124,000,” Guglielmo reports.

Just my $0.02
Now I have almost enough funds to renew my war against Manbearpig. For serial.
I think Algore may be the greatest mind since P. T. Barnum. Think of all the money he’s made hustling “Carbon Offset Credits”. Talk about selling vapor! It’s frigging genius. Who would have believed people would actually fall for it? But, I guess it’s like the idea of selling bottled water. Sure, it’s just tap water, but we filter it and put it in a great looking bottle, so therefore, we can charge you more per fluid ounce than gasoline. Pure genius.
So, what does Algore bring to Apple? Well, if he’s the one who thought up the idea of selling COC’s, he brings quite an imagination and a set of balls the size of the Liberty Bell. That’s worth something, isn’t it?
Wow, nothing like a mention of Al Gore to bring out the 24r;s in their droves.
Actually, you have to hand it to MacDailyNews – reaping the advertising benefits two days running just by mentioning Karl Rove in one story and Gore in another.
Click bait is a wonderful thing.
For cereal, Manbearpig is REAL.
For all of you ignorant idiots:
This is from CNN:
A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.
Scientists flocked to take pictures and shoot video after a massive chunk of the Wilkins ice shelf collapsed in Antarctica.
Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started February 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years.
This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan.
Because scientists noticed satellite images within hours, they diverted satellite cameras and even flew an airplane over the ongoing collapse for rare pictures and video.
“It’s an event we don’t get to see very often,” said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. “The cracks fill with water and slice off and topple… That gets to be a runaway situation.”
While icebergs naturally break away from the mainland, collapses like this are unusual but are happening more frequently in recent decades, Vaughan said. The collapse is similar to what happens to hardened glass when it is smashed with a hammer, he said.
The rest of the Wilkins ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut, is holding on by a narrow beam of thin ice. Scientists worry that it too may collapse. Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995.
Vaughan had predicted the Wilkins shelf would collapse about 15 years from now.
Scientists said they are not concerned about a rise in sea level from the latest event in Antarctica, but say it’s a sign of worsening global warming.
Such occurrences are “more indicative of a tipping point or trigger in the climate system,” said Sarah Das, a scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
Mac-nugget…
To be honest, it’s a waste of electrons trying to convince the global-warming deniers that gravitate towards this site. They’ve already convinced themselves that a) it has nothing to do with human behaviour, b) it has something to do with sunspots and c) there’s no reason to change our behaviour.
To these people, the Precautionary Principle are just two conjoined words: after all, who would drive a car with an efficient two-litre engine which is no different to driving a car with an inefficient 3.5 litre engine, especially in a country where a 55mph speed limit is still in force over much of the highway network. What is the point of a Hummer or a Dodge Viper in a $4/gallon world? Psychologists would probably have a word for it.
They also probably don’t believe that low-wattage light bulbs are a good idea, despite the fact that they last longer and use less power.
and what has Mac-nugget REALLY done to help end “global-warming”..?(not counting whining that someone else should do something)
