????雇傭政策，2010年9月

????包括谷歌、蘋(píng)果和英特爾（Intel）在內(nèi)的六家科技巨頭終止了禁止互挖墻腳的協(xié)議，進(jìn)而平息了美國(guó)司法部的反壟斷調(diào)查。美國(guó)司法部認(rèn)為，這些公司簽署的協(xié)議規(guī)定，彼此不得向“削弱競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”名單中的員工發(fā)出工作邀請(qǐng)。這對(duì)于頗受歡迎的工程師與科學(xué)家的就業(yè)前景產(chǎn)生了負(fù)面影響。簽署該協(xié)議的另外三家公司分別是Adobe、財(cái)捷（Intuit）和皮克斯（Pixar）。

????Hiring practices, Sep. 2010

Six tech giants, including Google, Apple and Intel, settled a DOJ antitrust investigation by ending agreements not to poach each other's employees. The agreements by the companies not to make recruiting calls to employees that they had placed on a list "diminished competition," the DOJ said, and had a negative effect on the job prospects of sought-after engineers and scientists. Adobe, Intuit and Pixar were also part of the settlement.
