Apple and the employee whose surprising signature makes the Internet rounds

Apple employee question markApple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is a company in which secrets must be kept strictly, especially if we are talking about information about ongoing projects, products that have not yet been launched on the market.

On Friday I told you that autonomous electric car Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will be tested in the real world, those from Cupertino already talking with the administrators of a location in the US to check if the car's automatic guidance system works properly and can be offered to the public.

The information came thanks to some documents that became public, they contain details from an exchange of emails made by company employees Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), with representatives of the respective location, and apart from what we know about the car, we also learn something new about one of the employees.

More precisely, we are talking about Frank Fearon, one of the engineers working on the Apple car at the moment, and thanks to the exchange of emails with the administrators of the location where the car will be tested, we found out that he signs his emails with a question mark, ?.

Apple's obsession with secrecy even extends internally. While one of the engineers corresponding with GoMentum Station admits to belonging to Apple's Special Projects group, Fearon signs his emails with a cryptic question mark icon.

Yes, you read that right, this Apple engineer does not sign his emails with his name or the title he has within the company, but only marks them with a question mark, this is probably to hide his role within the team special projects that was established in the Apple company.

Former Apple employees have confirmed that they are required to keep their work at the company secret, both from colleagues and from family, so marking an email with a question mark instead of details about the position within Apple seems normal.

This is the first time we hear about how at least one of Apple's employees signs, but this is not a rule for the company.
