Apple's Apples







I have known for years that the iPhone was extremely popular in Japan, especially with the number of requests I got from friends asking me to send them one.
However, one very avid Apple fan, decided to show his love for the iPod and Apple in a different way.
An owner of a Fuji apple orchard printed up custom stickers of iPods and the Apple logo. He then put the stickers on his Fuji apples while they were still young and on the trees.
A month later after the apples had matured, he removed the stickers.
As you can see the lack of sun reaching the apple cause them to keep the stickers original design.
No word as to what was done with the box of Geek Apples, but they did say they were quite delicious.
I was amazed when I stumbled on to this. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. :) However, I don't agree with the writer's opinion on how this was 'geeky'. I don't think it was geeky at all but just an interesting experiment. We can see how technology has affected our lives...even the fruits we eat! There's been rumor that these apples' owner might be seeing a lawsuit from Apple.. I hope not!
