Apple (et al the total is $10M) is going to get some blowback for giving so little given their cash reserves. But it's a great gesture and a great start. The long term solution is going to require more vision than charitable giving in my opinion. How can tech meaningfully impact regular Americans in their endeavors? Awesome devices, free email and messaging is incredible, don't get me wrong. But, for example, the car companies of the previous century also lifted a middle class and gave them an opportunity to raise a family, send their kids to school and have a stake in the country's future. I don't have the answers, but I do know lots of working class folks need more (and better) job opps.
