BTW. Walked into an Apple store yesterday looking for a birthday present for my dad. (Side story - you know that Samsung commercial where the young guy is holding a spot in line for his parents to buy the new iPhone? Well, both my parents have iPhones, and my dad just got an iPad. What do I have? Yup - a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a Tab. I almost gave myself a hernia watching that commercial I was laughing so hard.) Anyway, went into the store to get him a case/ with a keyboard in it.
I felt like I was walking into some 4th dimension or something. Everything is devoid of color, except the screens. Everyone is dressed the same (skinny jeans, longsleeve and patterned shirts, scarf around the neck, weird 1930s floppy hat, satchel slung over the shoulder). There is some hypnotic, pulsing music playing. There are even people in the back, sitting around a table, typing on their iWhatevers, headphones in the ears. Why go to an Apple store to just type on your device?
Seriously, it felt weird.
