According to one of our source, Apple is annoyed after being rejected to be a Worldwide TOP Partners for the olympic games 2012. Indeed, Acer, after being the IT partner for Vancouver 2010, has been selected for the next even to take place in London in 2012. It seems that Apple executives did not really digest this decision and the main goal is now to kick Acer out for Winter olympics in Sochi 2014 and Summer Olympics in Rio 2016. As the selected IT partner, the company has to provide thousands of computers as well as network, infrastructure, engineers and resources to make the event a success.
