http://www.digitalmooselounge.com/ may be your best bet... though its not easy.

Apple is very pretentious about which schools they hire out of.... I know a Canadian guy who has 20+ years experience, worked at Apple for 10 years but he's been a contractor all 10 of those years and he's still trying to get a full time position at Apple.

Honestly, the best way, if you are willing to pay out of the ass and commit a year or two or school.... get a MS at Stanford. You can get in with a pretty low GPA, and with their grade inflation, everyone gets an A. There's also a certificate program for those already with a MS called Professional Education certificate, a short cut into the Valley as well.
