The building looks like it was expensive to build, and being open 24X7X365 means paying and insuring three shifts of employees - is that why Apple products are so expensive?

As it is, the SoHo store is filled with people checking their gmail. I expect the uptown store to be no different.]]>May 18th 2006 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/I'm studying to become an architect, and as my studio teacher once said, architects 'borrow' from each other all the time. If you think you have come up with something new, that nobody else has done, there is probably a good reason for it not being done. It's all about compounded knowledge, and how you use that knowledge to your advantage.

That said, it's a pretty kickass cube, even if it is just a glass cube!]]>May 18th 2006 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/
But then again, given that part of town, it might induce drunk binge purchasing instead.

That's just great. I had already planned on staying out all Friday to Saturday night getting horrendously drunk with my friends however - now I just have to hang around at AppleFifth and submit an entry per hour while taking one shot of whatever per hour at the Genius bar. A bar in a store with an all glass entrance? Sounds like my kind of calamity.

Anyway, I hope to enter the Macbook drawing at least once, but I am not a big fan of lines, so chances are I'll just say F it, even though I only work 2 blocks away.

but in LA "Financial District dead" that doesn'rt work out here
the place is crowded after 7 on more than a few nights- and wy more on weekends

Im 13 and both my parents work in LA - I know.

Pasadena store not big enough, there is a 2x in LA the is just as crowded
This will not be a problem

I could take advantage of a 24/7 apple store that way If I need I can get help at all time, or I can work on my homework on a Quad at midnight.

I would also go in then and just use the internet]]>May 18th 2006 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/

A giant glass monument to Jobs' ego set atop a concrete slab.

Different isn't always better.

They should have grassed the top side, planted apple trees (hyuk hyuk), benches and tables, free wifi, etc. What a wasted opportunity.]]>May 18th 2006 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/if its not in the shadow of other buildings apple will have fun keeping it cool. that is the most urban greenhouse i've ever seen!]]>May 18th 2006 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/May 18th 2006 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/

i pass the cube between work and home, it was CRAZY as i was passing by, lots of media, lots of crowds...people probably think it's open to the public already..

i think they will do fine...i work in the music industry, im very much an apple/ipod person and there are LOTS of us here in the city, if im up at 3am and my computer has something tragic happen, you bet my ass i'll be at the apple store.... or if i cant sleep, def. a place i'll go to check things out...

as cool as the 247 thing is....if you know the area, anything uptown is pretty dead after midnight....after the craze wears off, im sure they will modify their operating schedule....]]>May 18th 2006 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/apple-shows-24x7x365-nyc-flagship-store/
