I guess you've forgotten this article "Greenpeace Loves to Pick On Apple" that you posted here in 2007, about 4 years after Al "the magic talisman" Gore joined the Apple board.

No, I haven't forgotten. It was FAR worse before Gore joined the board. This is mild compared to BG. It was almost incessant before Gore was brought aboard.

Your other thought may also have some merit, though. However, the "juicy stock options" still require the board member to buy the stock with their own money.

Yeah, in this case, for pennies on the dollar. I'd buy every share I could get if I could get them for the $7.47/share that iGore paid. He paid about $441K for 59,000 shares that were immediately worth about $30 million.

That's juicy, no matter how you squeeze it.
