The pair first met in an Apple store, so of course the only place suitable to get married was the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, New York between a row of Mac Books.
“We got to know each other because Ting was looking to buy an iPod…and I managed to strike up a conversation that way.

All the taboo was basically over small browsers like Opera complaining that Microsoft had the upper hand in the browser industry because they shipped their own software with their own Operating System.
