That is really impressive. The management of Apple is definitely to be commended for doing an epic job.

  No need for accolades, they pay themselves extraordinarily well. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-01-11/apple-ceo-s-stock-options-lift-2011-compensation-to-378-million.html http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-01-11/apple-ceo-s-stoc...

    That wasn't pay, those were stock options that are worthless currently --if he leaves before 2016, he gets nothing-- but will pay off well if he sticks around. Half of the stocks vest in 2016, the remainder in 2021. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/01/10/apple-ceo-tim-cook-didnt-really-make-378-million-in-2011/ http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/01/10/apple-ceo-tim-cook-di...

And $1.7M revenue per employee. Including all the retail employees. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=apple+revenue%2Femployee%2C+microsoft+revenue%2Femployee%2C+google+revenue%2Femployee http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=apple+revenue%2Femploye...

It's quite ridiculous, I wonder why they don't use that as leverage to truly screw with everyone hiring talent in the industry.

  I guess they don't need to. If you are going to open an angle of attack, its generally good to know that you can win that battle. To win though, would require them to commit more and more cash (as competitors start pouring in money as well). This would pollute the hiring pool, inflate long term expectations of engineers, and piss off shareholders who would suddenly see Apple engaged in a war they didn't expect. Besides, they could just as well use that money to pay lawyers and sue over patents, hurting competition at their bottom lines. Its an amusing thought to play with none the less.

I wonder what that figure would look like if you factored in Foxconn City.
