Charles CharnasHere at MacUser, we’re dedicated to bringing you all of the news about Apple. News, for example, about its lawyers. Sure, you might know that Apple’s general counsel is Daniel Cooperman, who formerly held the same position at Oracle. Now Apple’s added a member to Cooperman’s ragtag team of legal misfits: Charles Charnas will serve as Apple’s head of corporate law, a position that has not been filled since the former head, Michael Wyatt, departed in 2000.

As much as I know you’ll be glad to know that Charnas is well qualified, having served as deputy general counsel at HP and headed up their corporate department for nine years of his 18 year stint at the company, we imagine that you’ll be even more excited about the kind of contribution Charnas will make to Apple’s corporate culture. Charles is apparently quite the accomplished musician: witness this YouTube video of him singing and playing guitar at a goodbye party for HP’s former CFO Bob Wayman.

This just goes to show you, once again, that the Internet is the best thing since bread, sliced or unsliced.
