Ninja uses car-crash-jutsu in a botched attempt to rob an Apple store

Another day, another distressing story of ninja crime.

Does This Secret Apple Store Employee Meeting Mean iPad 2 Is Looming?

According to Apple Insider, Apple’s scheduled a meeting later this week with all of its retail employees, asking each of them to sign non-disclosure agreements in advance.

Paris’ Newest Apple Store Is Least Apple-Like Store Yet

It’s also the most beautiful, keeping all of the original fittings from the old bank that was once situated there. Instead of using their typical chrome-and-glass stairs, Apple thankfully chose to keep the stunning carved wooden stairs and wrought-iron railings. https://gizmodo.com/apple-threatened-me-with-legal-action-for-selling-a-bro-5482132 It opened to the public Saturday gone, and caused queues around the block as…

London’s Carbon Neutral US Embassy Looks Like Apple’s Fifth Ave Manhattan Store

If you visit the US embassy in London now, it’s a pit of concrete, barbed wire, bollards and soldiers with machine guns. You feel like a criminal just walking past it. This carbon neutral redesign is radical in comparison. It’s been described as encompassing the United States’ “core beliefs of our democracy – transparency, openness…

Apple “Experts” Will Make Geniuses Feel Like Dunces

We’ve teased that Apple Geniuses might not be the brightest in the bunch, but now Apple itself might make them feel stupid. The company is supposedly adding “experts” who’ll roam retail stores and answer support questions without need for appointments. https://gizmodo.com/apple-store-geniuses-might-actually-be-dunces-5055539 From the sounds of it, this new job position translates as a sales floor…

First Look at the Apple Stores’ New Mutant EasyPay iPod Touches

Since 2005, Apple stores have been ringing up purchases with wireless handheld point-of-sale terminals. This always felt a little odd, partly because you never see a register, but mostly because the devices run Windows. Not anymore! Apple is in the process of retiring their massive fleet of Windows CE handhelds, made by Symbol Technologies and…

Steve Jobs Whips Disney Stores Into Shape: High-Tech, Interactive, iPhone-Controlled

Disney retail stores, like many other venerable chains, have been suffering in recent years. But Disney’s got an ace in the hole (or, accurately, on their board): Steve Jobs.

Microsoft Stealing From Apple Again: This Time It’s Retail Staff

So about those Microsoft stores—you know, the one’s that’ll be next to Apple in some locations; with giant wall-sized screens. We knew Microsoft was hiring ‘Guru Bar’ staff, but apparently they’re also poaching top Apple Store managers. https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-opening-shops-right-next-to-apple-stores-this-5315454 And here’s why I’m perfectly OK with that: Redmond is offering them “significant raises”, and encouraging them…

Apple Removes Baby Shaking App 1600 Employees From App Store Actual Stores

Apple’s financials looked pretty spectacular this quarter, with a total profit in excess of $1.2 billion despite the gruesome economy. They also exceeded expectations for iPod and iPhone sales, laptop sales, and layoffs. Wait, what? CNET reports, via an SEC filing, that Apple has cut back their full-time retail workforce by a full 1600 employees—from…

Apple Store in Sydney, Oi Oi Oi!

Our brothers from down under at Giz Australia got a full-on press-packed walkthrough of the new Apple store in Sydney, the first on the continent, and it looks as nice and Apple-y as you’d expect.
