Here's a hypothetical. Apple hires someone and pays them handsomely to build critical software for the iWatch. After he leaves Apple, is he allowed to take that code to Samsung?
- venomsnake 12y agoCode is worthless, so yeah ... no harm done. Apple genius is in convincing people to buy their stuff.
