Way to go conehead, joe. Did you think anyone would care about your opinion?
BTW, feel free to tell us which retail chain you've created which is more successful than Apple's.
I don't think used enough grey matter to note that the photo shows the back of the Genius Bar or some other area only used by Apple employees.

Come on, guys! Those are technically personal attacks. Let people like ConradJoe and his ilk make such comments when they have no valid argument. We're intelligent enough that we don't have to stoop to that level.
PS: His 12 line signature is annoying, and it's not like posts anything though provoking. It's usually pathetic one word or line quips trying to get a negative reaction in order to jack the thread. I say we all create excessively long sigs until the admins finally put a maximum line level on them.
This must be the loudest of all the Apple stores (if the audio on that video is to be belived). I would like to see Siri demoed in that place. Also couldn't the Apple employees get dressed for the press walk through? One of them was wearing sweatpants. The space is impressive but this would not be my first choice for where to buy my next iMac.

It's a New York establishment - trust me, we deal with much louder things going on all the freak'n time.

The Lincoln Center store is incredibly loud as well - maybe even louder because it's a more confined space. All hard surfaces, nothing to absorb the sound except other people. For all the applause the design of these stores receive, I think that's a flaw.
I had a hard time using Siri in the Lincoln Center store -- I had to cup my hands around the iPhone. Under the circumstances, Siri worked incredibly well - it only misunderstood a few things.

From looking at the video, they seem to have done a good job replicating the stone work for the backslab of the Genius Bar and a few other places. And I see that they didn't seem to violate the previous covenants about there being no major signage in the main hall of GCT. I've had a hard time believing that this is truly one of the largest Apple stores because there isn't so much space on that level, but it looks like they're using a lot of previously hidden space, perhaps where the kitchen of the former restaurant was.
I say that you should lead by example and cut it down to one. Yours is equally annoying.
Do not reply when people post for effect. Some people like to be loud. They like attention. If they have nothing useful to say they just want to get noticed. It is childish and the best way to deal with it is to ignore. Like children. If they post intelligently, engage. Just like with children.
Remember that no argument can ever be won on a forum. But on a forum children can be ignored. I suspect that some of the more annoying and posters are pretty juvenile. If not in age then in mind.
Three words used here a lot should make their users think about their manhood: "meh," "underwhelmed" and "disappointed." I know I'm going against the flow here, but consider what these words say about YOU to others. They mean YOU did not get what YOU wanted, or what YOU were expecting. Consider that others may have no interest in you or your miserable expectations, or that your mother did not give you good enough birthday presents when you were little.

You are technically right, of course, and I will take what you say under advisement, but it's a lot easier to rub his nose in it that to write the lecture above. And he's not even sincere in his limp-wristed "meh." He's just trolling for dollars. Why do I care? I lose it sometimes.

Ok, ok, but he's not doing it out of childishness, but for mercenary reasons. You can't believe he's a genuine emo-troll, can you?

There are more clever ways in which to execute an offense that don't resort to name calling or other ad hominem attacks that break the forums rules. Decimate their flawed argument, not them. You know you're effective when they call you a fanboy for having a balanced and objective viewpoint.
I predict this site will be the location of the worlds largest "flash mob" smash and grab. If you are familiar with Grand Central, once you are outside, you are in the middle of a million people. Not to mention how many levels of trains and subways to make a getaway on.

Well, technically, it is just childish name-calling.

Here is a video of a walk through of the store:

Um? that's the point! Excessively large sigs take away from the flow of the conversation.
Meh.

We all know that deep down, you are a good person.

It sure is prettier than the Android mega store, which is soon to be unveiled.

Uhm, he doesn't have a sig turned on today. His most recent sig was a single line letting people know he had retired the old username.

Were you bullied as a child?
Your posts are often very funny.
Can someone explain the access to the store for the handicapped? Is there an elevator to the store level from the concourse?
Yes, there are elevators.
