Whoremonger
Apple could be a lot more profitable if they didn't waste their money like this:Apple and other companies paid NBC Today show tech editor Corey Greenberg up to $15,000 to talk about their products on news shows, according to The Washington Post. Greenberg talked up Apple's iPod last July, calling it "a great portable musical player... the coolest-looking one;" however, while NBC officials denied any knowledge of the financial relationship, Greenberg confirmed that he accepted payments from Apple, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Seiko Epson, Creative Technology and Energizer Holdings.I've been talking up Apple products since 1989, and Apple hasn't paid me one cent. Leave the evangelism to those of us who will do it for free! And shame on you Corey Greenberg for not disclosing such things on the air!
