Apple Store Retail Employees Getting New Shirts, Slogans, Impatient Attitude

IFO AppleStore has info on the new clothing design for Apple Retail employees, who will swap out their current job titles for slightly different ones that represent Apple's iPod and iPhone business more. The "Mac Genius" will become just "Genius," for example, and there will be six different slogans for each guy. We know it's old hat to mock Apple users and Apple Retail for being slightly smarmy and, well, kind of douchey, but these shirt slogans after the jump kind of reinforce the reason why. More »

comment of the day

Comment Of The Day

Since yesterday's comment of the day was so popular, we struggled to find one today that would be just as compelling... At first it seemed that a comment in the Apple Year-End Report Card was going to take it, but then about 40 other commenters said the same thing, by also calling the Giz "fanboys"; so that quickly became unoriginal. Then the comment of the day was found, and we know at least one commenter will agree, EMOSHUNZ that means you. OMG!!! PONIES!!! 's comment on Bill Gates' recent Mexican investment, is a well thought-out joke that we couldn't help but award with the comment of the day. And to all those fanboy callin', Apple haters, you'll probably like this one too...

Breaking: First in Line Guy is a Pro Linesitter, Sweats a Lot

[UPDATED: Nipple Shot by Infoweek] You know that guy who's first in line at the 5th Ave Apple Store? Greg Packer? Turns out he's no Apple fanboy. No, he's an obsessive linesitter. He was the first person to see Ground Zero when the viewing platform opened, the first to sign the condolence book at the British consulate when Princess Diana died, and the first in line to greet President George W. Bush after his inauguration. Hell, the guy waited in line for eight hours to meet Brandy. Brandy! More »

Matsushita Fire-Massage Chair Not Working out as Planned

massagechair.jpegPanasonic-owned company, Matsushita, is recalling thousands of massage chairs because they can ignite on fire. The incidents are supposedly extremely rare and only happened in demo chairs that are constantly being used. That's too bad—it's cold as hell here in the Midwest and I could use a good fire massage. –Travis Hudson More »

Poll: How Do We Keep the Species Going?

It's pretty well known that gadgets and technology are topics followed almost exclusively by dudes. The Giz has a 90% male readership, for example. Why is that? What's with the sausage party? Lord knows we didn't ask for this. More »
