Remains of the Day: Veni, vidi, vici

23.06.2012
The App Stores come to more than 30 new countries, Facebook comes to a deal with a new recruit from Apple, and Acer's founder comes to terms with the new Microsoft. The remainders for Friday, June 22, 2012 have yet to come to their senses.

The Verge points out that Apple has once again expanded its App Stores, both iOS and Mac, to a number of new countries--32, in fact. They include Albania, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Chad, Congo, Fiji, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Micronesia, Mongolia, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Sao Tome e Principe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Swaziland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. In other words, you really don't want to play Risk against Tim Cook.

We'll miss you, Chris Welldreyer. Er. Well. We assume we'll miss you, since you were a UI Design Manager at Apple for eight years. But good luck on your new job at Facebook, where we're pretty sure that when they say "UI" they mean "Unrecognized Income."
