Any thoughts from the Apple “Geniuses”?

None, except that is a stupid interpretation.

You couldn’t pay me enough to express an opinion on this one after the Google and Crescent debacle.

I’m sure Swordmaker will know the true story of what it represents and when and why it was created. Would make an interesting Wiki article entry.

My interpretation is that on the right side, that is Apple or "Steve Jobs" smirking at the face on the left which represents the Apple customers that fell for the Apple marketing gimmicks. Let's say we go with your idiotic delusion for a moment... the customer side looks just as happy as the Steve Jobs side. In your interpretation then, Apple is a win-win scenario for company and customer.
Well look at that... I agree with you. Have a nice day.

Let me guess - you bought Dell stock?
If you don’t like Apple products, don’t buy them.
As for this pointless vanity post, I’ve already wasted enough time on it.

The original “Happy Mac” icon began to look a little dated, but it was loved by people who used the computers, so it was reinterpreted.
The square and the smiley face echo the face on the original icon. The lighter, human face in profile is a smiling person sitting in front of the screen, using the Mac.
Care to likewise interpret a very poorly rendered rainbow window flapping in the breeze?

Nope. That image came about under either Spindler or Amelio, Jobs was not involved with Apple at the time. Apple was licensing the MacOS to other parties (mainly Motorola and Power Computing) and needed a new image to leverage the Mac name for those units that were not in fact Apple Macintoshes. It is more a takeoff of the original “happy Mac” that appears on the screen when the original Mac operating system was loaded.

You missed the real conspiracy, the original Apple logo.

.
The Apple represents the apple that Eve gave Adam to deceive him and bring about sin to the world. Notice it is also rainbow color, like the gay activist flag. The little "R" doesn't stand for 'registered' but instead revolution. Think about it.
Do I really need a /sarc tag or are people that gullible?

Thanks guys, that was the info I was looking for.
The sad mac icon is pretty funny. How often did people experience this? Having never owned a Mac, I've never heard of this before.

It’s an ad agency graphic artist who prefers Big Macs poking fun at Job’s statement that he never eats anything with a face.
Well, that’s the theory...

You’re lucky that is not a NCCA/University licenced logo, or you would be in big trouble :)

My interpretation of the Microsoft "window pane" logo represents the state of the art method of having multiple windows with different programs easily accessible and swappable using the TAB key to change between them.

My first experience with Microsoft was back with my Atari 800 with a version of Microsoft Basic in the early 1980s.
