Ah, so it does appear to be in the old Virgin megastore space, I wasn't sure. The Carrousel du Louvre is a good central location, and certainly well visited by tourists who don't need to go there specially to see the Apple Store. The other obvious l…

Good grief, what a lot of uninformed paranoia about security. Apple have been using hand held terminals to accept card payments on the floor of their stores for YEARS. What's the big deal that they're changing the terminals now? And so what if someo…

Aargh, but you still have to move the mouse! That's no good, it's not what I want at all. Multitouch, sure. Bluetooth, definitely. But not another stupid mouse! What's needed is a multitouch Bluetooth trackpad! I have a Mac Mini connected to my m…
