Tim Cook made about 40 million dollars while the company lost 26% of its market value ;you can see easily executive compensation is not properly associated with performance; by the way Apple’s board decided this past year to align its CEO’s pay with the company’s performance.
But in the market there are far worse cases of CEO’s reaping highly excessive compensation while the company stock and fundamentals are going down the drain deeply.
by the way Tim Cook is not an exception in the world of profits of every color .
But do not forget Apple has the highest cash on hand of any Fortune 500 company ;I hope they have the courage to invest even part of it in many the countries that afforded them to be among the biggest high-tech company in the world .
Apple and China Mobile
The new deal is expected to boost Apple sales in China ;after this historic deal apple’s Shares in US technology have jumped 3% .
As for the Chinese firm ,it is the world’s largest carrier(China Mobile has more than 760 million subscribers.) and was one of three networks to be awarded China’s first 4G licences earlier this month ,a godsend for the giant Apple.
But on the downside Chinese sales of previous iPhone models had not been a glorious success, as consumers have turned to cheaper rival handsets from Samsung, and domestic Chinese developers.
Sony vs. Microsoft
the Xbox One is basically just a motherboard with a PC-style Blu-ray drive, 2.5-inch hard drive, and an APU with a huge heatsink and fan. There is a lot of empty space in the Xbox One.

Sony had sold one million play station 4 in north America recently ,the characteristics of the new play station 4 are good graphics ,blue ray player ,8 GO RAM ,web browser ,super processor ,voice or speech recognition ,and the advantage to share his great moments video game with friends . Play station 4 is the great rival of XBOX of Microsoft ,Microsoft had sold one million XBOX in one day the same record achieved by Sony
