I see one rather large thinking fallacy recurring in many replies here. Too many people are trying to psychoanalyze the terrorists and whether or not an Apple convention would be a target. However, this line of thought requires one basic assumption that is just downright wrong: the terrorists, whoever they might be, are not necessarily going to act logically. If they were that rational, they wouldn't have made such a futile and (likely) ultimately self-defeating move as to piss off the United States. Sure, an Apple convention might not be high on the laundry list of targets, but that might be what makes it so attractive: nobody would expect it.
Anyway, bugger all. It doesn't particularly matter.
