- ChuckMcM 12y agoFunny how that works.
- gaius 12y agoThey do it illegally, the news has been full of it. Eric Schmidt and Steve Jobs were the masterminds who set it up.

- hga 12y agoIndeed. The only legal basis for non-competes being valid is that they prevent the "first bite of the apple", the damage caused by the first such disclosure of IP, which then requires the harmed company to sue to obtain recourse.
