The bad thing about improv Everywhere for the GM plaza store is that during, and directly following their shenanigans, Apple would lose tens of thousands of dollars due to shop lifting, and some of it would be customer property.
Apple Stores are constantly patrolled by shoplifters, especially flagship stores, because they contain so much easily hock-able hardware. Thieves don't care if its Apple's iPod, or your MacBook if they're looking to sell it on the corner.
Yes, I've seen shoplifters go after customer property, both successfully and unsuccessfully. They are opportunistic and will strike at a moment's notice. An Improv Everywhere event would basically be Christmas for them.
You can service a Mac laptop yourself, just don't be such wuss! Anyone with a passion for working on their own equips would have much more fun with a Mac anyway. I work at a computer repair shop and I always call dibs when Mac lappies come in. I'd rather spend the extra 5 minutes taking out my MacBook Pro hard drive than having an ugly ass Dell.
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.

Thats what I was thinking, I bet its them
Thought the same thing
The real tell is that the fat guy from the original line isn't there...
I don't think it's Improv Everywhere. I'm on the agent list and the last event they did was last friday.
Maybe some other group?

That's why I buy a proper serviceable laptop, and service it myself, instead of trusting it to some Apple service department.
