This is Apple culture at its best: No one ever talks about it. All employees are so loyal to this company that you can't even imagine one speaking about such insights.

Loyalty? More like fear. I'm not saying that we should be privy to the inner-workings of every company, but a lack of transparency is hardly a culture worthy of praise.

Why shouldn't it be? Only cause people don't like it doesn't mean it is a bad thing... You don't have to put all your efforts and insights in blog posts!

Not sharing ways to do things is good? Another example of Apple being the antithesis of open source philosophy.

I think it is more of fear about losing their job rather than loyalty. It is not uncommon to find that any leak will be tracked down and the leaker summarily fired.

Fear of what, getting fired? Is it hard for Internet-scale application engineers to get a job in the Valley these days?

Is it really so hard to imagine that employees at Apple feel loyalty to the company? Employee loyalty is not an uncommon thing.

Also, if you like to speak and write about how things work, I'm sure you have loads of opportunities to do that inside Apple.

It's just unprofessional to babble around about new tech like it's a cookie recipe.
