He does sound like a good pick.
Bet the fine print in his move from Oracle to Apple is something to behold.

Oh I'm sure his contract is full of good stuff. He is a lawyer right? For a company like Apple, that general counsel position must be a coveted one.

On track to be the least viewed thread in the history of MacRumors, if not the internet itself.

Shouldn't this be a page 2 item.
And seriously, who can realistically offer a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE vote on this?
NEGATIVE = fans of Donald or they wanted the job themselves?
POSITIVE = runs in different circles than me to know if Dan is a real "catch"!
:D

I say he was a temp until they had time to interview prospects for a long-term fit. Apple tends to be very loyal to employees and visa-versa. So it makes sense the surprise departure of the former counsel under duress caused Apple to find someone quick pending a permanent find.
The sheer amount of ongoing activities by Apple's General Counsel is staggering and the person in that position has their personal name and signature on high level documents.
There is speculation why the recent departure guy would go to Qualcom. I say Qualcom is steeped in heavy litigation for its life and that job is very exciting and valuable right now. Apple is on high energy cruise right now.
I would think an attorney would want to work somewhere like Microsoft which is under massive attack worldwide legally.
