Watch the video if you can!



Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

the story is quite funny that this kind of thing actually happened... coming in for a job interview and being thrown in front of a live TV feed

although, the video has a low quality compression and I could barely understand what the news reporter was saying and could not understand anything that poor man was saying...

what is this whole Apple vs Apple thing? the few words that I was able to understand was "Apple" and "iTunes" and something about "music downloads"

I heard the Cab driver story, still funny though.



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

As far as I understand it, there are two companies called Apple, Apple Corps, a music label, and Apple computers, the company we all know. Back when Apple Computers started, Apple Corps said they could use a similar logo to them as long as Apple Computers didn't go into the music industry. That was of course fine until iTunes came out, so they had a little court case and it seems that Apple Corps won. Not sure if that means that Apple Computers has to change its logo or what.

Okay, it's more complicated than I knew. Here's a link to the Wikipedia article:

It seems that Apple Corps didn't win, which is what I thought I could hear the interviewer say in the video.
