Apple employees received backpacks as a gift (December 15)
Every year, Apple presents its employees with an exclusive item to thank them for their work. This year, all Apple employees can enjoy a black backpack with the Apple logo, which costs around $60. Apple also added a short poem to the backpack, in which it appreciates all its employees for their work and for everything they have to sacrifice for Apple. Shortly afterwards, the backpacks also appeared on the auction portal Ebay, where they are now sold for several times their selling value.

Bose are reportedly working on their own streaming service (15/12)
Beats' competitor is throwing itself into another fight - Bose is probably working on its own streaming service, which would compete not only with Beats Music, but also with many other similar services. Bose posted an ad on its website in which the company is looking for a designer to work on a "music streaming platform and product ecosystem." Bose specifically asks for candidates who have work experience at, for example, Spotify or Beats Music. We will find out in the coming months what effect the new Bose service will have on the competition.

New Jobs Movie Adds Michael Stuhlbarg (19/12)
Actor Michael Stuhlbarg has accepted a role in the new film about Steve Jobs, which is being directed by Danny Boyle. Stuhlbarg will play the role of computer scientist and inventor Andy Hertzfeld, who founded Apple and left for Google in 2005. The filmmakers are also in talks with Oscar winner Kate Winslet for the female lead role. It seems that after the film was taken over by Universal Studios from Sony, it is starting to do well again. In the past, for example, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale or Natalie Portman turned down roles in a biographical film.

A week in a nutshell
Apple managed to win in two courts last week - acquired the judge on his side in the e-book case and the court too decided, that Apple did not harm users in the case with protection in iTunes and iPods. The judge also ruled that Steve Jobs' testimony will not be published.
Much less successful this week was the Sony studio, which became the target of a hacker attack by attackers from North Korea. Studio from your workplace knocked out all computers and kept only Macs, iPhones and iPads. Apple's Product RED campaign, with which the Californian company supported the fight against AIDS, she brought over $20 million. Apple Store in Istanbul acquired important architectural award and Dr. He's struggling stole the highest-paid musician in history.
Apple was also affected by the current economic situation in Russia, due to the unstable ruble it had to suspend iPhone sales in this country. The British BBC took it for granted situation in Apple's Chinese factories as well as the Californian company she issued a very touching Christmas advertisement.
tvl in apple got the backpack. WOW, that's the news of the day! The informational value is well below zero, but everyone can benefit from it here... We got a jacket at work for 3k again, but how?
Try to sell it for 30k and maybe then it will have some informational value for us as well. It's a rare item like an employee Christmas Lego. It's Christmas, be a little cool and not a fool like everyone else
You don't always have to clean it, do you?!?!
