I would never criticize how or whether an individual donated. Apple is fair game. The entire announcement is self-congratulatory PR. Yeah, it's good that they're donating some money and matching some employee donations. They could have just done that. They turned it into a PR item, fluffed it up with other self-aggrandizing anecdotes, and announced what, to them, amounts to a token gesture. I don't go around town bragging when I drop $20 in the veterans' bucket at Walmart.

Even if they do it for the PR, what's the harm? It just encourages even more companies to try to out play Apple and more companies to follow suit. I really don't see any harm - I think it actually helps more companies from doing good gesture. This is also quite surprising coming from me because usually I am very cynical.
