Comment Apple Abhors California's Non-Compete Policy (Score 1) 100

Despite it being the number one reason the California Bay area became the world's undisputed leader in its sort of technology, going back to the period right after the birth of the transitory, Apple hates California's long standing policy of making non-competes unenforceable. Quite notably, it was Steve Jobs who organized the non-poaching cartel between Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay (Facebook was just getting going at the time, and flatly turned him down).

Fortunately, you can't design chips on a shoestring budget, so the company should have enough of a war chest to deal with this entirely predicable tomfoolery. Who knows how many "can economize by eating ramen" startups it's suppressed with this attitude, the extreme levels of internal, siloed secrecy, and how much this contributes to the their regular bouts of awful software. When it's said "even granny knows not to upgrade iOS" you should know you have a problem.
