We don't know everything that Apple is doing for this crisis besides asking Customers to donate. They did that too in the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. The amount of money that Apple raised through the Apple iTunes store for the Japanese catastrophe was matched by Apple. I don't recall how much it was but it was in the multiple millions of dollars.

It was only weeks after that it was learned that Apple kept it's Japanese stores open 24 hours a day until the emergency was over to hold refugees and to facilitate communications into the inundated areas. In addition, Apple made additional major donations of cash and equipment, as well as staff time.

It is amazing to me how people jump at the chance to BASH Apple for perceived and imaginary slights.

As you say, Swordmaker, only after time passes will we learn what all actually is going on, how these companies are helping out.

As an aside, would that there could be a competition announced, like your excellent FR donation challenge to the Apple ping list, to see which tech company could contribute the most assistance to Nepal. But with all the disasters that befall humanity each year, I suppose the shareholders of the companies might object to "involuntary contributions to causes they didn't get to vote on" or something like that... *sigh*

I don’t jump at the opportunity to bash Apple. I actively hunt for it. If they are going to tell me how to live my life I am going to bash them every chance I get.
