muchmor7743 | Shared With: Everyone - Sep 08 2008 | Apple, Mac, iphone, phone, tech, retail, sales, fraud, dell, ibm, microsoftApple might be a little upset with some of its retail employees who scored free iPhones this summer.
#break#
For those who didn't hear, Apple promised a free iPhone to every fulltime employee and all part-timers who have been with the company for over a year�including retail associates and Geniuses
#break#
. The company made good on its claim, and we never heard much of a complaint about the program.
Unfortunately, we have now heard through two independent sources that a few of these lucky retail employees let their greed get the best of them. We've been told that as many as 800 Apple Store retail associates who received free iPhones have also cashed in on the $100 iPhone credit that Apple issued for early buyers.
#break#
Apple understandably wasn't too happy about shelling out an extra ~$80,000 to employees who already scored free iPhones, so pink iSlips have apparently been issued to the bunch.
#break#
Whether all employees have been notified or if some have yet to get called on the offense, we aren't sure. It's also unclear why Apple did not take measures to prevent this from happening, assuming the reports are true.
#break#It should be noted, too, that Apple retail went through a hiring spree just a couple of weeks ago�is it possible that Apple attempted to replace most of the employees it was planning on firing before actually firing them?

list of sites that actively block browsers other than Internet Explorer or have some serious problem that prevents the site from being usable in Firefox.

This is by no means a complete list, there are far too many sites that only work properly in IE for one dumb reason or another. And many of the worst offending pages are buried deep inside sites, inside password protected areas, or on intranets.

Web designers or people purchasing web based products, especially for businesses, have to be really rock stupid or insane to discriminate against popular browsers such as Firefox, Opera, or Safari.

As of this writing it is not uncommon, depending on type of site, to have 5%-25% of visitors use something besides IE.
