As much as people like to criticize Dropbox for having a republican on their board of directors, Apple's Board of Directors is also interesting:

Arthur D. Levinson, Ph. D. Chairman of the Board, Apple Former Chairman and CEO Genentech

James A. Bell Former CFO and Corporate President The Boeing Company

Albert Gore Jr. Former Vice President of the United States

Robert A. Iger Chairman and CEO The Walt Disney Company

Andrea Jung President and CEO Grameen America, Inc.

Ronald D. Sugar, Ph. D. Former Chairman and CEO Northrop Grumman

Susan L. Wagner Co-founder and Director BlackRock

People like to criticize Dropbox's appointment of Condoleezza Rice for much more substantial reasons than American party politics. 'Drop Dropbox' [1] offers an overview that, while biased, does address that accusation in particular.

A lot of my personal moral concerns with Dr. Rice's appointment are as a result of actions she condoned or advocated for during her time in government. Don Knuth's letter to her in 2002 expresses my feelings on this topic much better than I think I can myself.
