The Big Ole’ Glass Cube

Written on May 11, 2006 by Tanner Morrison and 10 people have commented

As many of you have wondered what Apple’s big glass cube was, it’s a store. It’s a new Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. This Apple store will be one of the largest built and it’s main focal point would be that of a 32-foot tall glass cube that would protrude out of the ground, with the main store underneath it and the General Motors building. The store ranks in at 20,00 square feet, and was designed by none other than Apple’s very own CEO Steve Jobs. The Store is rumored to be opened 24 hours, however this hasn’t be confirmed by Apple. There is also a rumored iPod Bar which is supposedly a Genius Bar for iPods; this would of course allow all the people with real computer problems to get help at the Genius Bar, and keep it from being littered with iPod technicalities.

But with all the speculation of the new Macbooks as an Intel replacement for the iBook could this be the place for Apple to debut their new notebook? There are promises of a large grand openeing with prizes and schwag; I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Now the question to ask is what would you do in an Apple store at 2:00 AM?

In an Apple store at 2am… I would:

drool,
buy things,
complain if I had some kind of problem,
hang out in the air conditioning,
look around, probably drooling,
buy more things,
surf the internet for free,
take pictures of my bit zit / awesome new hair / cut finger / whatever (dont forget to email them to yourself!),
perform various shinanigans,
and finally - wait for new products so I can be the first in line.
That’s just a few off the top of my head.

Also, isn’t the whole ‘designed by steve jobs’ thing still a rumor?

Like Ryan I would drool, check my credit limit, buy things, stare at Steve Jobs if he appeared, get bashed by girlfriend for buying things we can’t afford. =)

Sorry for taking this here…
Can’t you or anyone else on this blog also update the RSS feed everytime you post something new?
The latest news in the RSS is “iTMS Variable Pricing” which is old news now.

Soho already has an iPod Bar, it’s about two people long, verses the Genius bar with about 7. Looping iPod ads in the background. I haven’t been back in a while, and I heard they are renovating though so, dunno. 5th Avenue is much closer to me.

The only prob bringing home a Mac at 2am… even on 5th avenue, a huge Mac box is a prime target.

First, I would like to say that I don’t care how they release it, I want the Macbook to come out so I can see what kind of money I want to spend.

But at the store I would…

Marvel
Cry
Surf the Net
sleep on the floor
never leave.

I would just hang out and buy nothing.

Since you get screwed on Sales Tax in the Big Apple.

Then I could always go buy a $15.00 10oz beer somewhere in midtown.
