Nobody is denying that humans should help each other in times of crisis. But hey, enjoy your strawman karma.

However, from the descriptions of not just this source but others, stories of walking 60km home, sleeping on the floor of a crowded bar, not having anything to eat etc, it should be clear that Apple is in fact going the extra distance.

If this was any other company, you would be singing their praises from the highest rooftop. But because it is Apple, you and others for no good reason apparently see the need to try to bring them down, cast doubt on their good works etc.

Are you serious? If so, for God's sake, what is wrong with you?

You don't have to be actively campaigning against Apple and praying fervently for their downfall to make the point that what their store employees in Japan are doing now is no different from what many other store employees in Japan are also probably doing.
I have been a big supporter of Apple for the past 14 years. I am a big fan of their products. This has nothing to do with a prejudice against Apple. In fact it is precisely because of their innovation that we expect more from them. Allowing your staff to sleep at the office right after the earthquake is hardly "going the extra distance." Anyone who would do otherwise under the circumstances would be considered cold and heartless.
Shouldn't you have written 'for Job's sake'? That's the kind of sake the Japanese like to drink...
