The Karma of Apple

Been reading quite a few stories about Apple building up good karma. There’s the one about Apple giving MacBook Pros to 12 contributors to the WebKit project. Now that MacBook Pros are starting to ship, buyers got a surprise with a no-cost processor speed bump. Those who ordered 1.8 GHz processors are getting 2.0 GHz models, and the 1.67 GHz processors have been upped to 1.8 GHz.

Not directly from Apple but close enough, Lexus owners who bought an IS250AWD had to wait for the car due to a Lexus recall. As a gift for their patience, Lexus gave these buyers a loaner car and a iPod Nano with a car adapter.

And lastly, as hackers try to reverse engineer the new Intel-based Mac OS X, they’re finding poems heeding the hackers to stop. The poem reads:

Your karma check for today: There once was a user that whined/his existing OS was so blind/he’d do better to pirate/an OS that ran great/but found his hardware declined./Please don’t steal Mac OS!/Really, that’s way uncool./(C) Apple Computer, Inc.

A very cool way to run business.
