Perhaps most enticing, Cook told everyone to report to Town Hall tomorrow either in person or through their AppleWeb online portal at 10 a.m. PT to discuss “some exciting new things going on at Apple.” Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs typically held such meetings following major product launches like the iPad and iPhone.

And why should those of us who don't work for Apple care?

Its a town hall meeting. Not sure why anyone would care except an Apple employee.
Why would Apple announce something exciting at a town hall meeting?
Town hall meetings are for internal company issues.
Not sure why anyone would have expect anything more.

I believe the iPod was announced at such an event.

IIRC it was a press event at Apples small theater - town hall style - not an employee town hall.

Yea, you're right, it just sort of looks and feels the same.

Among the many topics discussed by Tim Cook at today’s Town Hall session with employees, the Apple CEO revealed some new Apple employee benefits. Giving a little more back to the people who worked so hard to make Apple one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, Cook announced that Apple employees will soon be given $500 discounts on purchases of new Macs and $250 discounts on purchases of a new iPad.

The new discount program will officially kickoff at some point during June 2012. A major caveat is that Apple employees may only utilize the opportunity every three years and employees must have been working for Apple for at least 90 days. The Mac discount side of the program excludes the Mac mini, which is already close to that $500 of credit. Apple employees currently have a 25 percent discount on Macs, so in many cases the $500 is a big deal. (Thanks iDannyOcean)
