European Apple Execs Secret Dinner Meeting?

[ClimbingTheLog]

Having worked in a hotel/events, this 'informer' has seriously breached his NDA and as acted completely unprofessionally.

Yeah, and probably screwed his chances of ever holding an Apple dinner again - I bet they made some good $ on that one.

If it were for some great new product info, OK, he's a rumor-monger, but this is just a pointless thing to wreck your reputation over.

Dumbass.

I agree, it's a centrepiece / infinity tea light:

It hasn't anything to do with Apple, the centrepieces just weren't taken out of their boxes yet...
Funny how everybody want's it to be a brand new apple product.

This is one of the most amusing Page 2's I've read in a long time.

My guess is that they figured this was a one time thing that they would make the best of it.

What are the chances that Apple Europe is gonna hold a dinner in the Canary Islands? And once they decide on the islands, what are the chances they pick your restaurant/catering service? Sounds pretty close to once in a lifetime odds to me...so they figured they'd get some publicity out of it.

...you know the execs are emailing this thread to everyone and is laughing at us right now....
"hello Mr. Job's; can you hire me"?

Maybe the new Macbook pros come with this handy well-designed candle holder...?

It's a tea light centerpiece like this one:

I actually chuckled out loud when I read this story and saw the attached 'possible new product' picture and then the above photo by MattyMatt. Hilarious!

It's probably the iCandle, an iPod and a candle it on device.

I'm really bored right now.

No its already a hotfix for the non-existing backlit led displays for the next 2008 mbp upgrade.

The UFO (Unidentified Fanboy Object) on the table is a Lanzarote serviette dispenser. Everyone who's been there recognizes them immediately. On the back they say "Souvenir from Lanzarote". They're quite common.

Call CSI Vegas to clean up the pictures for us so we can read the words on the box .. hahaha

Anyone know if it was Europe Execs ONLY or if Steve was there? I have this mental image of the entire Exec staff sitting there waiting for him. Then his famed learjet arrives and touches down right next to it. Someone aks "is it number one?" and Steve hops out to have a meal with his minions in the middle of nowhere.

Or maybe I've just watched too manny Bond movies, but that table totally made me think "supervillain."

Hmmmmm

ANY BODY ELSE NOTICE THERE IS NO BIG APPLE LOGO ON THE BOX. look at everything else apple has released and there it is the big freaking apple on the box. Even on the sides of it. Something tells me this is just a random blurry picture.

I hate to break it to you, but we figured it out... but a good point, had it been earlier.
