Slideshow: What tech industry CEOs are saying about the economy

COO Tim Cook, CFO Peter Oppenheimer and Senior VP Bob Mansfield will now rake in a yearly $800,000, $700,000 and $600,000 respectively. That makes Mansfield the third-highest paid exec in Cupertino--remember, Steve still makes just $1 a year (and all those additional perks). These were the first such raises for the first two in just over three years.

I realize that that's probably chump change to a company with a market cap of $80 billion, but still, that's a ton more than I'll ever make.
