Kasper JadeApple Computer has entered into a consulting agreement with recently retired iPod Division chief John Rubinstein.
Under the terms of the deal, Rubinstein has agreed to make himself available to perform consulting services at Apple for up to 20 percent of general weekly business hours, or one business day per week on average, until April 16, 2007.
In return, the iPod maker will pay Rubinstein a non-material flat fee as consideration for his services.
Rubinstein, who oversaw all of Mac hardware engineering before being assigned to head the company's iPod Division, resigned from Apple last month.

Is inks an american term, or am I just being stupid? I don't understand this headline. (Headline is "Apple inks consulting deal with former hardware exec".) Or does it refer to Apple's handwriting recognition technology?

I'm french but i understand that it means "puts on paper", i.e. makes a written deal...
Doesn't it?
Looks to me it has been in use a long long time. Centuries maybe... At least before the typewriting machines!
It's beyond me that a "rosbeef" doesn't understand this! (no insult intended!?see my own name!)
Yes, that's exactly right. 'Inks' is shorthand for 'makes contract with'.

hmm. Looks like a post exodus, non-compete agreement. Would hate for John to start working magic on the iRivers, now wouldn't we.
