Hi,
Interesting. I might be wrong. I think that at one point, Apple was
looking for a full-time employee for this job, and not an intern. I
hope someone applies. If in fact at one time they were looking for a
full-time employee and they are now looking for an intern, if no one
applies, will they just drop the whole idea? Just a concerned VO user.
