Apple may have passed Intel & Microsoft combined in profits, but I think its worth noting that for all Apple gets- it gives back very little.  Actually it gives back nothing.

“Jobs isn’t widely known for his association with philanthropic causes”, compared to Bill Gates’ efforts. After resuming control of Apple in 1997, Jobs eliminated all corporate philanthropy programs“

Microsoft on the other hand…

“In the United States, Microsoft matches each employee contribution — up to $12,000 annually; this includes a match for gifts of time as well as money. When employees volunteer their time in the community, Microsoft donates $17 per every hour volunteered to the eligible organizations they serve. This program has been in place for only one year, and already employees have volunteered for more than 110,000 hours.”

Sometimes the companies we respect  just don’t respect others as much.
