And Sir Isaac Newton came up with his
'First law of motion' when an apple fell on his head. Fortunately for him he was not sitting under a coconut tree. How different would all this have been by modern standards. Adam would probably have declared Eve mad for asking him to risk his pearly whites. Being an excellent marksman would not have helped William Tell's son to balance a Macintosh on his head properly. On the upside, the target would have been much bigger. And Sir Isaac Newton would not have been pleased when one of Steve Job's inventions would have landed on his head. A severe concussion would have been the result. Not his 'First law of motion'.
Still, people seem to like the Apples from Cupertino despite all the mishap they could have caused. Even more then the fruits of the labor of Samsung. I kid you not. This is true as I found out on one of my explorations into Richmond Centre.
I came across the stores
of Samsung and Apple, two old rivals. Should one have had the possession
of it, William Tell's crossbow could have been fired without
hitting anyone. Bar the sales staff, but what is their use without
customers to attend to anyway. 
What a difference from the atmosphere in the Apple store. Although Apple aficionados obviously do
not like to be in the forefront and drove in the back of the store, there were
quite a few of them too. Hopefully Apple's research department does not inhibit the same behavior though. However, unlike the echoing sounds
of my own footsteps haunting me in the Samsung store, the space
here was filled with gleeful sounds coming from the mouths of exited 'applets' as I would like to baptize the flock of shoppers. For the record, the blue Smurf-like creatures are members of the sales staff and should therefore be
left out of the equation. Nevertheless I dare say that people still like
fruit today. Not all kinds of fruit though... 
You are on a rol! Like your style.
