I'll chime in. I won't say how I'm involved with Tom, but we've been associated in the past. Let's just say that the impression I had upon meeting him was that he's basically a tax-dodging former child star with an ongoing microfinance scandal (covered by apparent nemesis David Baines): http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id=b76ff000-c8e8-4789-9ed8-806df2c2945a http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id... http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/business/story.html?id=7c506725-ef5d-429f-a6ae-8a4cb8b60dc4 http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/business/story.html... http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/business/story.html?id=70700a18-9a1f-4949-ac63-83d208c75b7e http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/business/story.html... http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id=8802e811-b642-4d3b-bd0a-090046c60f20 http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id... I wouldn't go as far as Baines (he gets petty and tedious after a while) but I do think he's got some validity to his arguments about accountability and trust. Specifically the lack thereof as regards Tom. Let's recap the story: a 14 year old kid's paid summer internship was deemed to be good PR for Apple. That paid off in mediocre terms (as you can see via his QuickTime/Kid story, Apple divested itself of its drudgeons after PepsiCo's frontman took the hit for Apple almost dying) but, in the process, it created the modern Tom Williams who, after imagining that 50 year old men were being anything other than patronizing toward a teen, had no incentive to grow up. Youthfully ignorant entrepreneurial drive win, personal growth and development fail. His wife's hot, though.
