Star Apple Expo France 2004 Show Report

Apple Apple is holding their European Expo and nowadays being a Mac owner thought I'd go along. If Apple has such a pitiful market share then you'd expect it to be a small show with little software and few visitors. Er No, this was the complete opposite. Pictures of the Expo included.

another ridiculous troll. the product is being promoted. apple must be ashamed of their name for using just a logo on their itunes ads too huh?

Apple has the most recegonizable logo on the planet. My 2 year old nephew took on look at the back of my powerbook and said "Apple". He had just learnt how to speak. Apple does not need to spell A-P-P-L-E out. Thier logo is so self explanatory a two year old can get it. Apparently, you can't.

Let's see microsoft's logo is ... oops "microsoft" spelt out. Yup they seem to be ashamed.


but not much by apple mac fanatics that forget that ms made software for macs back when apple was much larger and much more profitable than ms.

That's when they were suddenly inspired by Apple's work to create thier own GUI.... right!!!!

they also forget that ms gave them large sums of money to bail them out when they were in deep financial trouble in 1997. oh how fickle mac users are.

MS signed deals in return for Apple stock, which they sold later for a nice profit. Apple did MS more of a favor didn't it. They could use the deal as a leverage against the anti-trust case.

In business terms, this is called a Nash equillibrium.


the average pc maker doesnt need to put 2 cpus in a box for respectable performance.

Neither does Apple. Almost any processor over a GHz on any architecture will offer respectable performance. Also clock for clock the g5 beats the opteron, so a single 2.5 Ghz G5 should handily outperform an opteron, especially on float performance.

And opterons seem to be doing better than Pentiums.
