Greatest of all time.
Eu comecei apenas para trás de visitar um amigo em San Luis Obispo, Califórnia, e apontou-me para o Superstore do Mac. Eu nunca ouvido do lugar, e Apple eradicated assim completamente todos os varejistas unofficial do Mac de que eu não pensei que havia muito esquerda (sadly). Mas eu decidi-me dar ao lugar um olhar próximo do interior. O que segue, aqui e no salto, é foto-excursiona à loja a mais fresca de Apple que a companhia não possui - e talvez sempre.
O mais melhor Doorstops sempre.
A experiência no MacSuperstore, fundado em 1998 por Shane Williams, um graduado de San Cal-Poly Luis Obispo, começa antes que você ande mesmo na porta. Desde que o tempo é quase sempre ensolarado e calmo em SLO, os Macs completos do vintage do uso de Williams e de equipe de funcionários para prender as portas abrem ao fiel. Eu verifiquei pròxima, e uma porta está sustentada por um Mac mais quando os outros forem SE/30s. O efeito está convidando - e perturbar do bocado. O último I usou um SE/30 em mid-1999, e pareceu consideravelmente longe de um doorstop então.
Todo o material o mais interessante está para dentro, entretanto, satisfaça assim lido sobre.

A imprensa do tech está faltando o barco com o ar de MacBook.
Todo o grumbling sobre o preço, a ausência de uma movimentação ótica, a bateria insubstituível, mostra que o técnicos ocupados entendem mal a máquina.
Naturalmente não é prático, ele é um computador da forma.
Mas parece que as audiências de alvo - fashionistas - estão fazendo exame da nota. Um Google rápido mostra aquele os blogs da forma raving sobre o ar.
Coquette, um blog sobre a forma digital do `e estilo pelo drieu do zee do natalie, raves sobre o potencial do ar como um acessório: “Esta coisa pequena está pronta ao tote ao redor em seu Balenciaga ou saco de Gucci,” diz. “Eu estou começando assim um!!!!!”
Julgando dos comentários naqueles blogs, os lotes de seus leitores são bonkers para ele demasiado.
Comparado a a Handbag de $1.800 Prada, o ar de MacBook é roubar.
Expect long lines at the NYC Soho and Meatpacking stores.

In case you don’t speak Geeky Acronym, the gibberish above means that someone (in this case, Ryan Block of Engadget) has dropped a 64-gigabyte solid-state drive into a MacBook Pro. The incredible drives, which are still extremely expensive compared to conventional hard drives, use flash, not platters for storage, and as a result, have no noticeably moving parts. They’re virtually silent, and they’ve been claimed to up battery life to unheard of levels (I’ve heard 11 hours on a Toshiba subnotebook). Block hasn’t provided a battery life figure yet, but I’m kind of drooling. In two years, virtually all laptops will have moved in this direction…

To “diversify” its technology, the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas is switching to Macs from PCs.
By switching to Macs, the school can now offer students Mac OS X as well as Windows XP — the machines are all dual boot.
Cox joins several schools switching to the Mac, including Wilkes University Wilkes-Barr in PA, and St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. A few years ago, it was the opposite story. Schools were abandoning the Mac in droves, including long-time, all-Mac schools like Dartmouth.
At Cox, the school has installed about 100 iMacs in labs, and there’s dual-boot Mac minis (OS X and XP) at the head of about 30 classrooms.
“We’re enhancing and diversifying our computer platforms by keeping Windows XP while adding OS X,” said Allen Gwinn, the school’s technical director, in a statement. “Upgrading to Apple platforms is the only way to do this.”
Update: As noted in the comments, I bungled the headline, transposing PCs and Macs. But there’s no strikethrough in heds, so I just corrected it. Thanks for the heads up.

Updated: Ah, John Siracusa. Is anyone else capable of such sublime operating system reviews? His Leopard manifesto (17 action-packed pages) is sublime:
That’s the Downloads folder on the left, and the disk image file on the right. It’s slightly bigger.
If you are not shaking your head, uttering something profane, or taking some deity’s name in vain right about now, congratulations, Apple may have a position for you in their user interface design group.
He’s complimentary where Apple got it right, mean where it got it wrong, and always insightful and funny.
