    Apple vs Apple - there is only one winner

    Well the winner is....the taxi driver...........

    BBC News 24 have an editor of a technology website bought in by taxi to discuss the Apple v Apple lawsuit.......

    staff at BBC obviously get confused and think the taxi driver is the expert...........

    and the taxi driver gets put on live TV answering the questions

    the expression on his face is priceless when he gets introduced!

    and he manages to blag it quite well, considering he has no idea at all what he is talking about!

    "But Mr Goma, who was wrongly identified in the press as a taxi driver, was really at the BBC for a job interview."
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4774429.stm

    You can always rely on the Daily Mail to get the facts correct.

    Mr Goma's face when she introduces him as the editor of a technology magazine is awesome. His answer to the first question is true, he sure was surprised!

    Lol, it must have been worse than all his interview nightmares put together.

    Now he’s famous I can’t wait to read his auto-biography.

    Guess so, Guy Kewney = Guy Goma? A receptionist did point the producer towards Goma, but the best part is the producer had seen a picture of Kewney, let just say they look a little dissimilar. See pic here.
