So, Palo Alto has a population of 64,000 and Stanford University, Palo Alto has a population of 20,000, yet we have 2 stores in Palo Alto. While Southern Ireland has a population of 4.5 million, and we have zero Apple Stores?

If that's how you want to play it then you have a long time to wait because India has a population of 1.2 billion, or 269 Irelands. In fact, you're pretty much half down the list on the populations of countries which puts more than 100 countries between you and an Apple Store.

Solipsism X used India, but taking Singapore with 5,183,700, you do not see an Apple store and U can bet, that country sells more Apple products than Ireland.

here in portugal we have more than 10million without a single Apple Store... Samsung runs the show in these poor european countries.

It's also a denser population and I believe the GDP per capita about 50% higher, but I don't know how I seem to remember that or even if it's accurate today.

Yup. They don't drop stores in places where there are a lot of people; they drop stores in places where there are a lot of rich people.
Is it supposed to be any different? Just judging by the pictures, it looks like any other Apple store.
I also saw a few pictures from Microsoft's temporary store in Times Square for their tablet launch, and it really is pathetic how everybody is trying so hard to be Apple now.
Temporary??
So when folk want to return their Surface tablets, the store has just ... vanished??

That's a good way to get retention.
Windows 8 launches… one week later, all Microsoft Stores disappear from all malls across the country. No mention of them in even the oldest directory map. And thanks to a single line in the warranty of the Surface whereby it may only be returned to a physical Microsoft Store, they can report the grand success of their tablet sales.

At least until the class action comes in.
All sales are final.
I'm pretty sure they have a 14 day return policy, at least in the US. Not sure about a restocking fee.

This is a perfect location for a Microsoft store, as are the other store locations abandoned by Apple.
MS should just buy all the old locations no longer used by Blockbuster or Borders¡

Apple took the Borders location in Santa Monica California.
LOL I didn't know that. Isn't that rather big for an Apple Store?
Must be for all those Apple HDTVs that are coming¡
