Was riding around the Ginza District in Tokyo one morning the other week, looking for the Apple Store there when I came across this one at the end of the main Ginza thoroughfare. (This was before I found the real thing.)
Wonder if there are any geniuses in this Apple store. Didn’t have time to get off and check.
Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, 7:31pm, Oct. 25, 2007: Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
5:30pm, Friday, October 26: Hundreds form a four-block line outside the Apple Store in Ginza, Tokyo, braving the rain and cold (the Doodler being one of them), waiting for the doors to open at 6pm for the launching of Mac OS 10.5. One more:
Picture gallery (on the street and in the store), and full first-person account this weekend. (Yeah, I took these pictures - it’s my first time to be part of a real, authentic Apple Store wait-in as opposed to just reading about them and thinking, what idiots these guys are; I would never do that. Famous last words. I was tickled pink, although that may be from the freezing rain. More later.)
Dell CEO Michael Dell, asked ten years ago what he would do if he were CEO of Apple: “What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.”
