NYC Apple Store to be open 24 hours?
Last night, I had a problem: I wanted — nay,
needed — to go to the Apple Store. There was this burning sensation in my gut and a soft whisper in my head,
subtly enticing me to make a holy trek to what we members of the Mac Elite have come to know as Nirvana.
"Go," this voice said. "Go home." And oh did I long for such an opportunity. The problem? It was 1:30 in the morning. And, alas, banging on the locked Apple Store doors worked to no avail — other than triggering the response of an unjustifiably grouchy security guard and a run-away workout worthy of a late-night treadmill infomercial.
This sort of horror has plagued the Mac community for years — but if Think Secret is right
(and maybe this time they will be!), Apple has heard our cries and is readying to rectify this travesty of a concept known as "hours of operation": The upcoming Apple Store in Manhattan will supposedly be Apple's first 24-hour location, providing members of NYC's notorious Night Life and the beleaguered Mac Elite the much-desired ability to get that oh-so-important iPod/Mac fix into the wee hours of the night.
Sure, I live in Chicago — but I've got a stash of American Airlines stand-by tickets ready to go...in case, you know, I ever get The Urge.
