This is nothing new. I've been to stores that opened months ago that sport this same layout. All the smaller stores are set up this way, though only the newest few lost the hardwood and got wooden tables. Still, not news.

in New Apple Store look... Comment by idude June 2003

I agree that is stupid, but an NDA is an NDA and the last thing I want to do is get someone in trouble. You all should know by now that Apple is super secretive about even the least important things, so it shouldn't come as any suprise that they do…

In case anyone is interested, I drove downtown on Saturday and took some pictures of the location. http://homepage.mac.com/pkatt/PhotoAlbum21.html

The store is at the old Gap store site, next to Niketown and Sony (excellent location). Apple has torn down the building and is starting from scratch. Here is a page with pictures (old ones): http://www.thinksecret.com/news/chicagostore.html

Do all the stores have a demo unit that you can play with now? I was at the Woodfield store a month ago and they only had one in the window. Now that they are shipping, I would think they would be able to display one, but Apple is weird sometimes.…

Quote: Originally posted by Defiant Newton! I've got a Newton and I love it, but it too big to be practical. I need something I can fit in my pocket, not a tote bag. I've looked at the Zire, but I'm not sure about it. How is it? The ones…

It's interesting to hear all the different perspectives on this issue. From reading various articles, I''ve decided that nothing bad can come from this. Al Gore certainly brings a lot of experiences to the table that no one on the board has ever h…

Bring it on. AI (content) has been dead too long. Even if it isn't "rumors" There really should be some news. If not that, you should just make AI a forums only site.

I wouldn't mind it. It could give people an idea of how respectable a person that responded to their post is.

I second that.

I'm not real sure why you guys keep going on about the iPod scratching. What do you expect? It's an MP3 player for god's sake, not a Monet. You are SUPPOSED to throw it in your pocket and drop it and run with it. That's what it is made for. At …

Get the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. Don't even think about anything else. They are hands down the best speakers available. They blow the pants off my more expensive system on my DVD/TV. I've had some trouble with the cables, but nothing that would…

Reebok's Office Linebacker ad was the funniest ad of the night, bar none. I was pissing my pants at it. I also liked the Budweiser ones. They are always good.

in moved: Favorite Superbowl Ad? Comment by idude January 2003

Yes, you CAN do it, but if the videos aren't in DV format, you will need to buy Quicktime Pro ($30) and convert them. Then you can drop them in iMovie, extract and delete the sound from the clips, crop the video, and drop in the sound. All very ea…
