- elromulous 3y agoI'm definitely rooting for Rivos on this one. I have former colleagues at Rivos, but also apple is a litigious bully. It's also super hypocritical of apple - it was totally ok for them to go after recruiting talent from the likes of Qualcomm etc when they were building up their hardware.
- kramerger 3y agoHow is this news to anyone? Steve Jobs once contacted Eric Schmidt directly when one of his engineers (1!) was approached by a 3rd party recruitment company working for Google.

- kramerger 3y agoBut is that really a choice? Besides, I belive some chip designers were aquihiers from PA Semi. They did not actively choose to work for apple.
