    Two things. First, Safari now automatically uses websites’ search bars on its own!

    It does that a lot of sites you've visited and there is no way to move those results lower than your default search engine so you have to be more vigilant to make sure the first section is the one you want. I'm not a fan.

    GAH, you know what? I hate that. BOOKMARKS SHOULD BE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS AND HISTORY. I DON’T CARE ABOUT A URL I VISITED ONCE. AUTOFILL MY BOOKMARK, BECAUSE I GO THERE ALL THE TIME. THAT’S WHY I BOOKMARKED IT.

    I want bookmarks at the bottom because I use my Favorites Bar for that so I want my search engine suggestions first and foremost.

    Dated, compared to what exactly? Go ahead and give us an example of what store design makes this look dated? Nevermind, just another troll post from you. 

    Also, I'm still waiting for you to bring your forth evidence for your lie where you claim I "swore up and down that Beats is the creme de la creme of headphone technology". 

    They don't have anything positive to say about the company, its leadership, or products. Only nonstop criticism and negativity, based on a highly biased perspective. Oh, but you'd better not call them a "troll" or you'll be accused of "not liking criticism." /s

    Well, a dated one because apparently glass and metal are so passé¡

    Poor iMac. So "dated." But never married :)

Then, as you enter the clearing, and leave the safety of the canopy, a subtle, primitive force would elicit a slight burst of adrenaline, and compel you to the shelter of the structure, lest you get attacked by a sabertooth tiger.

     

    Am I thinking too hard about this? /s

    These, like Pazazu's posts, are apparently the same...

    its funny you say that because whenever I see that comment I think people are replacing the word "I" with "Steve. :D

    The problem is that next to no one actually thinks about it.

    Ah, they’re over that. When you step out of the auditorium, a Sierra Nevada mountain falls on you.

    My favorite Apple store aesthetically is the new one they just opened in Portland at Pioneer Place. I think it's beautiful. Though I'm preparing for it to be replaced by the new one in San Fran @ Union Square. I like the idea of a hanging garden/living wall also. It should contrast the industrial design well. I'm very interested to see how Angela and Foster & Partners marry their ideas going forward.

    That looks amazing! Retail stores typically have a common theme. It's not really old and outdated at all. The design is a trademark of an Apple Retail Store...why would you want to change it?

    Everyone notice how Pazuzu never came back to explain himself, or respond to the numerous questions about his comments? Even when others presented evidence showing his claim was pretty absurd?  Drive-by trolling at it's finest. Just pop in, shit in the thread, then pop back out- rinse and repeat. His specialty. 

     

    But hey, I guess nobody can "handle" his "criticism" about Apple.

    Just because you say it, does not mean it is true.  Did you mean to say "timeless"?

    Apple's design aesthetic is sort of the minimalist extreme of the current glass and steel trend in building design, with a very high glass:steel ratio. I like it, but I don't think they're still going to look the same 20 or 30 years from now (or at least the new ones being built then won't look the same). 

     

    The original iMacs hardly proved timeless. And Steve did do that!

    So what would make you happy? A store made entirely of sapphire crystal?

    Wish we had beautiful Apple stores instead of the crappy boxes built inside soulless shopping centres (Leeds, Sheffield, UK).

    I’m delighted to say that there is! Don’t read the comments.
