Richardson We love to see former Apple executives show up in other companies. Why? World domination. Clearly these former Apple guys will pump some Mac into their new employers. The latest Apple executive to reemerge is Clent Richardson, who has shown up at Immersion, who you may remember as partnering with Apple to enable force feedback controllers in OS X back in 2002.

I can see it now, Immersion mandating Mac support by all their licensing customers. Yup. Don’t bother me with “reality” and “facts”. Anyway, Richardson is replacing Vic Viegas as President and CEO, but Viegas will stay on as chairman. Maybe now we can get force feedback enabled Photoshop. Imagine a little vibration every time it thinks you made a mistake, just making problems worse.
