Re: [IxDA Discuss] interesting article & comments, "Why the Japanese Hate the iPhone"

Just as a side note, most employee agreements in the USA have non-disclosure statements that vary in restrictiveness. Some even restrict who you can work for if you quit (a few states like CA have made non-competes illegal) - PA has a strong non-compete law so if you live in PA you should read the
