Apple hires fake Viagra expert to stop counterfeit iDevices

[DainBramaged]

Apple has been in the news recently concerning the spate of entire fake Apple Stores (23 at last count) popping up in China.

Cult of Mac is reporting that Apple's global security chief, John Theriault, has hired Don Shruhan, a former Pfizer colleague, to help track down and stop the production of counterfeit Apple products.

Theriault and Shruhan's work at Pfizer had involved tracking down fake Viagra manufacturers.

"As amazing as it seems, computer maker Apple Inc. had no global security team – including inside China – until March 2008..."

"Early evidence suggests nearly 100 percent of Apple products in unauthorized mainland markets are knock-offs, while factories in Guangdong province are exporting enough counterfeits to single-handedly supply the world with fake Apple products."

1. I like our Apple computers, but I'm still LMAO at the company.

Hard to feel sorry for these corporations when they ship all the jobs overseas and then shit like this happens.

:rofl:

2. Is there a workshop you could join for having an Apple Obsession?

Maybe some kind of therapy?
