Following what he described as an “incredibly successful year”, Tim cook has lauded the hard work and dedication of his employees over the past year, going so far as to offer them an extended Thanksgiving vacation with pay!

In an email addressed simply to “Team” Cook reflected on the product launches of the past six months, including the new iPad, Retina Macbook, Mountain Lion, the iPhone 5 and the new iPods. He described these products as “oustanding”, and commented on the “incredible response” they’d recieved. He also alluded to Apple’s “unrivalled leadership” in the post-PC era.

I’m sure you’ll agree that Apple has had an amazing year, and so I think it’s fair that the guys over at Cupertino get some time off work, mainly because it means that I’ll probably get some time off work too… Regardless, here’s to all the Apple employees that have made this such a special year!
