May get a pink slip, but, hey - we may give you a Mac too

Apple love... a Mac Book Pro for every employee...

I guess DT will have to reconsider turning off every iPad data plan as part of cost out now?

I have a GE supplied iPhone and let me tell you, it is nothing to call home about.

Other companies already do this and have advanced products on the market. GE will again be dumping $Millions upon $Millions into a market that they are far behind on and will never catch up. Dumb decisions like this are constantly flowing from GE. Too bad GE can’t sell dumb decisions or leaders. If they could they would have a fortune.
