I think it would behoove you to check into tax laws, specifically those laws that govern what kind of tax breaks a company gets for charitable donations. Every decision in a company is made with money in mind. If Apple donates any money to a charitable cause, it's because the folks in Accounting determined they'd get a hefty tax break for doing it. No corporation, including Apple, is in the business of giving money away in exchange for nothing more than the warm, fuzzy feeling they get when donating to charities. It's always about the money and shareholders ALWAYS trump special interests.

I thought I'd throw a post up suggesting Untangle as an open source alternative for network traffic management. It has quite a few neat features that would otherwise cost you thousands of dollars for an enterprise level appliance from SonicWall, BlueCoat, Coyote Networks, etc. After installing it on a dedicated server in my rack here, I've noticed an almost 50% reduction in our spam intake at the gateway, as Untangle blocks incoming SMTP, POP, and IMAP connections from blacklisted sources. Web traffic on our T1 has improved as well, with Untangle preventing a vast majority of advertisements and other junk found on many websites from being passed back onto our internal network.

Or you could just buy the newest iteration of the game, Gears of War 2: Balls of War Edition, made specifically for the castrated husband who foolishly gave his wife his testicles mounted on a 24 karat gold wedding ring. Seriously, man. She's your wife. Not your boss or your mom. Grow a pair and tell her where to stick it if she doesn't like it. If she can't live with it, then it's time to trade her in for a different model.
