Apple is a company that sells delicious fruit that grows on trees. Oh, you mean everyone in the world already knows what it is and cannot be fooled? Well darn, there goes my fun.
Given that my name is Steve, it was pretty easy to get these images. All I had to do was wear a black turtleneck, wave my hands, and say “Safari”. Then, after the Apple guards took me away and threw me in Apple hell (which consisted of using a first generation iPod for an hour), I was able to easily escape during one of the Macworld reruns that play each hour. While everyone was in their trance-like state, I had free reign to take as many pictures as I wanted. And here they are.
