> Apple has investors like any other company. This move is good for the investors.

Any move that is bad for the customers won't be good for investors.

There is no short term vs long term thinking once you reached profitability and have cash reserves. The short term will inevitably become the long term.

The _responsible_ thing to do for your investors is to solve problems before they get any more expensive to solve. i.e. solve your problems _now_

You have to simultaneously satisfy customers, investors, employees and the community you operate within. If you cannot wrap your head around that you cannot be trusted by anyone because you will always be sacrificing one for the other to save your incompetent ass.

Sheesh. This is not rocket science.

It's a shame you feel that way, but down-voting the truth is not going to fix your economy, un-pollute your oceans nor end your wars.

Feel free to shout once you've had enough and want the beatings to stop.
