That Apple's retail chief Ron Johnson is on its way out, taking over CEO post at JC Penney early 2012, hasn't affected the slightest bit the company's aggressive retail expansion. Last week, the gadget maker opened five new stores: Two in the U.S. (one in Anchorage, Alaska and the other in Murray, Utah), a store in Research In Motion's Waterloo, Ontario homeland, as well as shops in Australia's Cheltenham and Italy's Florence. But Apple ain't resting on their laurels: They've scheduled three international grand openings for this weekend.
