Apple have always thought different
Do check out this superb website looking back at all of Apple’s homepages. Fascinating, and don’t miss the small explanations on the left hand side of the new products.
Microsoft stores trying a little too hard
Dear oh dear. Tragic! Not only do they rip off the Apple store’s design, but then they do this.
Calculator showdown – Windows vs OSX
What do you get when you take the Windows and OSX calculators from the desktop, and actually make them real?!
Well, this great post shows the 2 new calculators, and I know which one I want on my desk 
Speaking of calculators, I cannot remember the last time I used a traditional one. It is either via the dashboard or the iPhone. Are they becoming extinct?
Upper West Side Apple Store opens
Upper West Side Apple Store, originally uploaded by mattbuchanan.
WOW. Apple’s newest Manhattan store looks amazing.
A temple to the brand and the products. From the Gizmodo post here:
I call it a temple because the architecture conveys a nearly religious aesthetic, a place to worship Apple, beyond any other Apple store you’ve ever been to. The top floor’s a vast open space, enclosed by spartan stone walls which support a massive glass ceiling. The rows of tables in the main room feel like pews.
I can’t tell you—and the pictures can’t show you—how utterly open and expansive the room feels. Apple says it has more demo units than any other store in the world. To give you an idea of the space, the walls are 45 feet tall, and could fit 11 Apple 5th Avenue Cubes inside. It’s the spareness that’s breathtaking. It’s cold. Not literally, but the stone walls, the glass, the sheer space rob it of any sense of warmth or feeling. The only sense of life in room is the products. It’s a temple to them, really.
The beating heart, where things actually happen is tucked underground. The Genius Bar and personal training space is the biggest ever in an Apple store, able to handle up to 100 customers at once at 45 feet long. It’s pretty much like any other Apple store down there, just bigger.
