Apple's Shareholder Meeting Results in a Paragraph

Apple's spring shareholders meeting was yesterday. Basically, Steve Jobs and Apple executives defended not opening up the iPod to RealNetwork's music service and defended closing the Elk Grove, CA, plant to manufacturing. The shareholders elected the proposed slate of directors, approved KPMG as Apple's auditor and defeated a union proposal to limit executive pay, a proposal not surprisingly opposed by Apple management. The details are covered in this CNet article. [Dana Baggett]
