Cuando se dieron a conocer los horarios de la ya famosa Apple Store de NYC muchos pensamos que abrir las 24 horas del día era algo arriesgado y que aquello se iba a llenar de frikis. Pues parece que no andábamos muy lejos de la verdad y, si todavía tienen alguna duda, pasen por este enlace a la revista Laptop.
En un ejercicio de investigación periodística perfectamente prescindible uno de sus redactores ha pasado una noche completa en este búnker subterráneo rodeado de genios de la manzana, insomnes y ociosos. No se pierdan las vivencias de Brian Heater y los efectos que 12 horas encerrado entre ipods pueden provocar en el cortex cerebral.
Aquí, unos ejemplos:

12:30 a.m.: A man across the table is utterly fascinated by the prospect of downloading television shows onto his iPod, an excitement that increases exponentially when he discovers that the shows will be commercial-free

1:40a.m: Shlomo tells me that a group of people spent the last twenty minutes or so trapped in the Apple elevator. Apparently they had to call the police. I was too busy thinking crazy thoughts to myself. I am not well. Please send help.

2:50 a.m.: The Apple Store’s public restroom is like everything else Apple does: stylish and fully functional. The toilets only come in white at present, but when they flush, you can really tell that there’s a dual-core in there.

3:30 a.m.: There are now some 20 people in the store, fiddling with gadgets far past their bedtime.

4:20 a.m.: The cleanup crew is mopping the floor in sections. The geniuses are walking around the floor, adjusting the notebook screens to their proper 63-degree angle.

Lo dicho, un ratito si, pero no me abusen de las manzanas. ;)
