LONDON -- Cloud Computing World Forum -- Along with a multitude of specialist cloud services support vendors here at London's Earl's Court exhibition center (or "the throwback" as it has become known), there have been a few surprise attendees.
Former Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) CEO John Sculley, for example. But he has investments in cloud-based health technology developments to talk about.
And the girl who can wrap her ankles around her ears. She was a surprise on the show floor.
So here are some pics that set the scene for the London show, all taken by ourselves (so you know who to blame for the quality) except for the final one.

Did Someone Say Apple?
Former Apple CEO John Sculley was the opening keynote speaker, and he reminded the audience that Darwin did not talk about survival of the fittest, but survival of those that evolve. He used Kodak as an example of a company that didn't evolve and IBM as one that did. We must have missed the reference to Apple.
