Wired News schrijft dat een wazig guerilla groepje van pissige Apple gebruikers heeft gedreigd dat zij de toespraak van Steve Jobs op de komende Apple Expo in Parijs zullen verstoren. De actie groep vindt dat Apple fout omgaat met haar gebruikers, met name de klanten in Europa. Verder zijn ze niet gelukkig met de rechtszaken die regelmatig door het Apple advocatenleger worden aangespannen tegen websites en personen die informatie over ongereleasde Apple produkten publiceren. De actie van de groep is gepland op 13 september, de dag waarop de public beta van MacOS X wordt vrijgelaten:
According to an email credited to the "Expo Protest Team" that was sent to Wired News, the group will be griping about three key issues: Apple's treatment of its users, the company's legal threats against websites and people who release information about Apple products before a product's official release, and Apple's treatment of its European customers, particularly those in the Great Britain.
The email says that the planned protest will take the form of an "alternative" speech by team members that will be delivered "in the middle" of Job's keynote speech.
According to an anonymous email sent by a person who claimed to be a member of the group, the protesters will "have a number of people planted in the audience, so that as one protesting speech-giver is ushered from the room, another will pop up to take his or her place, and so on.
