Russian President Visits Cisco, Apple and Tweets

by - source: Tom's Guide US

Now international diplomatic matters can happen over Twitter.

The Russian president Dimitri Medvedev has just joined Twitter. Yes, he may be late to the party, but he picked a great time to start up his account as it was during his trip to San Francisco.

In fact, he started up his Twitter stream as part of his visit to Twitter, Apple, Cisco, Stanford University and even lunch with Barack Obama. Here are some of his tweets:

·      Silicon Valley's greatest asset is communication. People discuss their work not trifles. Russia would benefit from this kind of environment.

·      The government's task is to create job opportunities. We have the money now, but we don't have a Silicon Valley. We must spend wisely.

·      The decision of major American companies to come to Russia and invest shows that we can agree on more than just missiles.

Through Medvedev's stream, we get to see some inside pictures of him with Steve Jobs (where he picks up an iPhone 4) as well as lunch with the U.S. President at a burger joint.

Apple adds another powerful nation's premier to its customer portfolio; in other news, Steve Jobs was reportedly seen with an ever-growing evil smirk.

Eating at a burger joint? :)) boy that so is not becoming of 2 presidents ... it's so populist that it hurts the brain. If the press wasn't there or pictures weren't take maybe, just maybe i'd take that as something that isn't image orientated .. but as i see it now, it has FAKE spelled all over it.

At the 1st pic, it's nice of Steve to show him how to hold the new iphone4 properly.

In Russia, Steve Jobs would get arrested for being more popular than the president. Fix that, if you want to fix business in your country.

Letting the Russian president that close to a live iGrenade was a very risky move... This could have started a war!

first the americans, now the russians?? if aliens attack nobody would be able to stop them, all the i-fags would run away with their starbucks coffees and scarves and their macbook pros on their back.

I would say security as well. Of the pair, the fellow on the left looks quite burly.

Nah, I say hot blond working at Apple. What else can make all men turn their heads at once?

Russia and Apple have a lot in common. Although in Russia they're subjects, and at Apple they're customers - either way they're treated the same!

Looks at Jobs' futile attempt to hold service during a phone call.
