Chris Foresman takes this report from Gary Allen at ifoAppleStore and runs with it. (Google cache of the ifoAppleStore report.) I don’t see how that’s warranted, given the lack of evidence and thin sourcing in Allen’s original report.

They’re going to start cutting back on maintenance and cleanliness? Do you think Tim Cook is a fool? I don’t buy it.
