Apple opens 250th store

Job's Mob marches on
Wed Nov 12 2008, 15:47

APPLE WILL OPEN its 250th retail store on Friday continuing the Cupertino company's rapidly-expanding presence on the world's High Streets.

Apple stores, which have a well-earned reputation as glass and aluminium consumer cathedrals to all things Apple, have played a massive part transforming the company's fortunes in recent years being the only computer maker with its own exclusive retail outfit.

If you've never been to an Apple store and witnessed the way in which the company's reputation for stunning design translates itself into what is undeniably an awesome retail experience (even if you're not an Apple fan) then you might want to head for Modesto in California at 6pm on Friday.

If you're one of the first 1,000 punters through the door (knowing Californian Macolytes you'll almost certainly have to queue), you'll be able to grab a free T-shirt, which you can proudly wear whilst you indulge yourself in (also free) presentations, demonstrations and workshops.

Where's my passport? µ

"If you've never been to an Apple store and witnessed the way in which the company's reputation for stunning design translates itself into what is undeniably an awesome retail experience..."

Tell me that's ironic. Go on, I dare you. 

Sheesh.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
