Keep in mind that Apple is run by a bunch of leftist greenies. I assume they felt they owed iGore a consolation prize since he was cheated out of the presidency by the Evil George Bush and right wing lawyers like Ted Cruz.
Besides, since he invented the Internet, they thought he could invent something else really cool for Apple.
Unbelievable, the left is just the absolute biggest freakin hypocrites going in this world “Capitalism is just so evil” and they indulge in the worst kind of it. And they always say to this day - Gore had the election stolen from him when the fact of that matter is Gore was PREVENTED from stealing the election. Who tried to have overseas ballots disqualified? Gore did. Who had Jesse Jackson come down to Florida to hold fake protests over “blacks being turned away at the polls”? Gore did! Who tried to have felons vote? Gore did! Who tried to have unpunched chads count as a vote for him? Gore did. The guy is a sociopathic punk ass mofo who should be in jail for taking bribes from airlines rather than overhaul airlines security which he was suppose to do. And what happened? 3000 people lost their lives on 911 to freakin boxcutters! BOXCUTTERS! Nice security there, they can’t even stop boxcutters.
