It's at least $1.01M per year that Papermaster's going to get, at least based on what Fadell currently/used to make.

When it comes to the ideal company to work for, many would consider Apple top notch. Especially coming from a coporate, old-school giant like IBM. Additionally, you can only imagine the executive compensation package that Papermaster is slated to receive. Stock options, top salary, bonus, perks....The list goes on.

IBM has enough proprietary technology to release a lot more than internal components and thinkpads. It's how the companies are run that sway a lot of those top execs. I know for a fact that compared to Apple, IBM is stuffy, corporate and slow, corporate culture-wise. IBM has nothing they can do to sway anybody from Apple over to them. NOTHING. WTF Larissa?
