How do you figure this is news?
Are saying that something doesn’t add up?
Are you saying that for Symantec it’s addition through subtraction?
Or is it just Apple multiplying its executives?
I’m seeing a GAAP in your coverage, you didn’t recognize the revenue associated with his taking this taxing job!
Bullocks!
