True, but it seems to have been unanimous and immediate at Apple. Good people are good people, but it seems like quite a few of them work for Apple.
I wonder if this would happen in the US too, or if it has something to do with Japanese culture?
I'm going more along the lines of this is HN, and there are tons of stories on Apple posted here every day. I'm sure there could be 3 pages worth of HN stories posted here from all of the other Japanese non-tech businesses doing the same thing if the audience here were also so obsessed with those corporations daily operations.
