Imaginary Landscape
RSS FeedIn an article from CNet News last week, it seems like someone at Apple called Microsoft COO Kevin Turner and asked him to stop running those nasty "Laptop Hunter" ads. You know, the ones where they give someone $1,000 and ask them to go into a Microsoft store to see what they can buy? This was a highlight of his keynote speech at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference.
Anyhow, apparently someone from Apple's legal department called and told Mr. Turner to stop running the ads. "This is a true story," affirms Mr. Turner. I wonder if they also asked about Prince Albert in a can.
Another highlight of the speech was the announcement of Microsoft's plan to open retail shops located...wait for it...next to Apple retail stores. And it would seem that the tech world is most interested in what the Microsoft stores will look like.
I, for one, am tired of these geek spats reminiscent of a grammar school playground. So, I think everyone should just download the latest iPhone app and "improve your quality of life."
