Does Apple really need Wal-Mart thinking

"Wal-Mart's digital media chief departs for Apple"

I don't know if it was his brain child or not, but he was in charge, so whether it was his idea or not, he helmed the ship as it crashed in a ball of fire to the ground... I've talked about Wal-Mart's retarded attempts at getting into digtal media, and how those attempts, almost exactly when i said they would, folded.

Of all the things, Apple does that make me shake my head and wonder if Steve isn't getting a little to full of himself, this move makes me shake my head in a different way. Granted he'll be over the international market, so the chances of him doing any real damage are slim, but still, why would Apple bring in someone from Wal-Mart? I'm sure he was one of the more visionary execs in AR, but really? A kid off the street, with an iPod and a computer, would IMO be a better choice than any one from Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart is hardly the breeding ground for executive decision making I'd want in a high tech company. Well any company for that matter, but Apple, no less?

Hopefully not a sign of things to come, I'd really hate to have to switch back to Dell or something, what's next, "we're moving to all plastic laptops, they're lighter. Lighter is better!"
