During Apple's recent shareholder meeting, Apple CEO Steve Jobs addressed a few issues that were thrown his way. Read on for a few snippets of Jobs' comebacks.

On Leopard's delay. "Leopard will be worth the wait."

On the iPhone. "We're beginners and we have a lot to learn," said Jobs. "The market is large and the opportunities are great. A few of us have been using the iPhone a lot and if you wanted it back, you would have to pry it from our dead hands."

Jobs also said that the company is still deciding whether or not to let third-party developers create software for the iPhone.

On the stock options scandal. "I actually got my options at a higher price, but I didnÂ?t ask the company to reimburse me." As for former Apple CFO Fred Anderson, Jobs said that he had "worked with Fred for many years and I think he's an awfully good guy, but I thought his comments were a little wrong."

On Greenpeace. Jobs also took some time to throw around some criticism of his own. Two Greenpeace representatives were present at the meeting, and although they congratulated Jobs and Apple for their commitment to greener products, Jobs had the following words for the organization:

I think your organization particularly depends too much on principle and not enough on fact. You guys rate people based on what people say their plans are in the distant future, not what they are doing today. I think you put way too much weight on these glorified principles and way too little weight on science and engineering.

It would be very helpful if your organization hired a few more engineers and actually entered into dialog with companies to find out what they are really doing and not just listen to all the flowery language when in reality most of them arenÂ?t doing anything.

ThatÂ?s my opinion.
