<br/><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="124" src="http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8445/irishexaminerlogoo.jpg" width="225" />There's good news for Cork, Ireland residents looking for work. The Irish Examiner is reporting that Apple intends to create 350 jobs in the city. Apple has reportedly leased the top two floors of a building on Cork's Half Moon Street (about 25,000 sq ft.), which was completed in 2009.</p><br/>This won't be Apple's first cluster of offices in Ireland or in Cork for that matter. The Irish Examiner notes that Apple has had "a major presence" at Hollyhill on the northside of Cork. Also, the Examiner reports that Apple looked at several locations in Cork before deciding on the Half Moon Street spot.<br/><br/>Local retailers hope that Apple's staffers in "the striking glazed building" (that even sounds like a space Apple would occupy) will spend their hard-earned dollars at the city's restaurants, bars, shops and so on.<br/><br/>Good luck to Apple in its new space and to the mom-and-pop shops of Cork. May you have a long and lucrative relationship.<br/><div><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br/></span></div>

Steve Jobs named Person of the Year by the Financial Times

<div><img alt="Steve Jobs" border="0" hspace="8" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2010/12/stevejobscartoonxyzyz-1293140736.jpg" vspace="8" /></div><br />
Calling Apple's turn-around over the last ten years "the most remarkable comeback in modern business history," the UK's <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f01db172-0e06-11e0-86e9-00144feabdc0.html">Financial Times</a> (free registration required) newspaper on Wednesday named Apple CEO Steve Jobs its "Person of the Year" for 2010. Thirty years after Jobs brought the company public at age 25, the proclamation focuses on his determined attention to detail and reputation as someone who "understands the art of the possible" with the ability to convince others of the plausibility of his ideas.<br />
<br />
In talking to Financial Times, Roger McNamee, who recently attempted to rebuild Palm in Apple's image, said "Steve's the last of the great builders. What makes him different is that he's creating jobs and economic activity out of thin air while just about every other CEO in America is working out ways to cut costs and lay people off."<br />
<br />
2010 has definitely been a good year for Apple, with MarketWatch naming Steve Jobs CEO of the Decade earlier this month and four Apple products making it onto Time Magazine's Top 10 Gadgets list right in time for the holidays. If estimates of Apple selling 100 million iPhones and 48 million iPads next year are correct, 2011 should be a fantastic year as well for Mr. Jobs and company.<br />
