Tagging the Apple Stores
Apparently the new vogue is, while browsing through an Apple Store, to use its provided internet access to download one of DrunkenBlog Desktops and set them as the computer's background, then snap a pic. I'm sure it raises some eyebrows, which makes it highly amusing.
This one is from the Tysons Corner Apple Store in Virginia...
This one is from the The Woodlands Apple Store in Texas...
drunkenbatman, I intended to get a shot of The Cow on a 30" monitor. However, given the fact that 1) for some unknown reason, they had their flagship monitor shoved in a corner, and 2) an Apple employee was asking whether I needed assistance every 15 seconds, this seemed the more prudent course. I'll forward more pics of the opening later."
What's sad is that he did send these the day the store opened, and if you have any idea of when the Apple Store opened, you'll have an idea of how behind I am. My inbox taunts me. I'm not being a jerk, just a bit laggy.

I wonder if anybody will do that for the Pentagon City one opening tomorrow. (Perhaps the same guy, as they're probably about 10 miles apart)...
I'm not that deep into the madness to be hanging out at the store on opening day. (Though I'm not above entering the grand openig contest for free swag.)

Anybody see the video of that guy as the iPod sillouhette? (that's probably grossly misspelled.) I didn't anybody asking him if he needed assistance. (shrug).
Maybe if you dress in all black and dress around it's easier to use the computers at the Apple store.
Just a suggestion.

the new vogue is to leave the desktop on wireddude.com.

It appears that someone has done that at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, CA ;)
Of course, an Apple employee returned it to normal shortly after.

I did this today at "AppleCentre:Next Byte" in Adelaide (Rundle Mall) today. I have a photo. I'll post it onto my blog soon.

funner than that is to watch videos on the big screen after close
we usually get in technologic, rocot rock, and around the world (the daft punk videos) in almost every night, plus other funny stuff, notable strong bad emails at full size, quite awesome.
:-p
Hey! That's my store in Tysons Corner!
I feel so special.
