As an employee of an organization (which many people are) you probably view company press releases with a jaundiced eye. In addition Steve saying something to "his people" is qualitatively different. In essence when he is speaking to the employees, he is saying "I screwed up and some senior executives screwed up." If he issues a press release he is saying "Apple screwed up." That is very different from both a credibility and an employee relations standpoint.JRTue, 05 Aug 2008 18:29:01 -0000http://www.zacharybass.com/2008/08/apple-ceo-steve-jobs-administers-executive-justice-over-mobileme-blunder.html#comment-1104284RE: "... the MobileMe operation ... will not report to Eddie Cue..."<br><br>==========================<br>Actually, the MobileMe operation WILL report to Eddie Cue.Oh Blah Dee Blah DahTue, 05 Aug 2008 15:07:08 -0000
