wow that’s a horrible pun.

Everyone knows that it wasn’t until Apple allowed Windows on Macs that they really started to sell well. Steve Jobs knows: Windows sells Macs.

Actually, “horrible pun” is a tautology.

Not so at the new Apple Store here in Vancouver, not a single window.

Everyone (the better versed) knows that Apple invented windows in an early UI. Micosoft just “invented” the word with a capital letter.

I’ll still take the Regent Street, London store any day of the week

Cactus -

“Better versed?”

Xerox’ PARC, and before them Doug Englebart will likely take exception to someone saying Apple created the (small w) window.

The even-more better versed know that it was the Xerox Alto and Star that had the first GUI for an operating system.

The best-versed know that the first GUI featuring windows was developed by the same guy that invented the mouse, Douglas Engelbart, who envisioned a world driven by “graphical windowed environments”.

i have just arrived home from my epic adventure to the depths of the new apple store and i must say it is freaking amazing. i really feel bad for the two other stores around the corner. The staff are really enthusiastic and friendly and the genius bar is monstrous, i would say they had over 130 staff there for the opening.

Tell me what you're thinking...
