Apple two months ago hired a former cable TV executive, it has been revealed on his LinkedIn page.
Jean-Francois Mule has reported on his LinkedIn page that he's now employed by Apple as an engineering director. As with other Apple employees, Mule is coy about his duties at the company, but has sparked some interest from the media, saying on his page that he's "challenged, inspired and part of something big."
Not surprisingly, the Web is abuzz by what that "something big" might be. Did Apple bring Mule on to help it deliver the long-rumored television it's supposedly working on? Is Apple reimagining how cable TV is delivered to the home with Mule's help? Speculation is running rampant.
Still, it's important to note that the comment might mean nothing. Apple is a "big" company, after all, and just because someone says that they're part of something large, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're working on anything that could be groundbreaking.
That Apple has hired Mule, however, is notable. Before joining the company, he was senior vice president at not-for-profit organization CableLabs. In that role, he worked on new television technologies, including apps, that could then be integrated into products sold by vendors.
CNET has contacted Apple for comment on Mule's hiring. We will update this story when we have more information.
