Not only is that site biased, but it attempts to push its bias onto other sites. I think it's a real pity that Slashdot accepts submissions from there.

Re:Jobs on his salary: (Score:4, Informative)
Highest paid in 2006. He doesn't have huge stock option grants vesting every year. From the Forbes profile you linked to is very telling:
Total Compensation (2006)
$646.60 mil
5-Year Compensation Total
$650.17 mil
In other words, over 99% of his compensation for the past five years came from last year alone. During that time AAPL went from about $12 to over $100.

Technically he received $646.6 million in stock compensation which really is not the same thing. As stock, their value isn't realized until he cashes out which he has not done yet. If Apple stock splits and doubles in the next year (which it has done in the last 2 years), that stock will be worth $1.2 billion if he ever cashes out.

With that in mind, Apple spent $712 million last year in R&D and they increased spending from the previous year. Also they are using the cash apparently to expand the business by acquiring real estate for new stores while upgrading their infrastructure. And they are buying back stock.
