“You may not have known that they were together, but Apple and Sam Sung have parted ways,” Eli Langer reports for CNBC.

  1. Pretty funny, though I don’t really think of the Apple Store help staff as ‘Apple Employees’ proper. They kind of a sattelite operation … mainly because a) they’re not engineers b) they don’t make anything c) they’re kind of out of the loop, for obvious reasons.

    Actually, I should correct myself here: they make something.. lots and lots and lots of money.
