All Apple employees getting an iPod shuffle morale booster from Uncle Steve

AppleInsider says that Steve "Santa" Jobs is handing out a 2nd generation iPod shuffles to all Apple employees from execs on down to retail staff as a token of his affection morale booster. One can't help but wonder what kind of morale boost one expects to get with a mere $79 incentive, but it's the thought that counts, right? In all seriousness, I do think it's a cool move and I am sure it is much appreciated by the recipients. Then again, given Apple's problems with theft in the company store, perhaps this is just a preemptive measure to ward off sticky fingers?

Employees have been told to expect their gifts before the end of the month, even though the iPod shuffle officially hit stores today. Expect many of them to end up on eBay within minutes of receipt.
