Apple Donates $1 Million to Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Efforts in Indonesia

I know they don't have to give at all but that seems like a pathetic amount. According to some sources, they make 5.3 million dollars every hour.

This site gives sobering statistics.

It’s a million dollars. That’s a lot of money. Nothing for Apple, but it’s a lot of money.

Why can’t you just accept the good deed. Boy is this place bitter and jaded.

Kudos, and thank you for your humanity.

There will be some who will ask "Why not one billion". Regardless, any help is welcome.

Before anyone says it’s not enough, remember 2 things:

[LIST=1]
* Apple is owned by the shareholders and has a fiduciary responsibility to maximize their value, not donate money. They don’t have to donate anything.
* $1M is still a lot of money.

Who knew that $1 million is a pathetic amount.

Hmmm... I sent 1.2% of my available cash.
Apple sent 0.00035% of theirs.
But their fraction will dwarf my fraction in the amount of help it does.

How much did Amazon give? How about Facebook?

These are corporations, not governments. They needn't give anything at all actually. You want to give Apple a million dollars of negative publicity over the issue? It's a positive thing to give money.

If this donation equals 0.01% of Apple profits for the week - maybe you can consider matching that percentage and donate as well?

Just some thoughts that come to mind when I hear someone putting a negative slant to philanthropy.
