MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

hmmm, sems that there are som vacant stores in this mall. Is that a good sign?

People line up for an Apple Store opening. Could you just simply imagine the crowd when Leopard will be released?

the line for leopard will be insane. theres will be thousands lined up . the line will probably be outside the mall.

Relax macaholic,

Kahala Mall is in a rich neighborhood of multi-million dollar beachfront homes.

Two people, at least, holding their arms up to heaven during the choir's hymns, one by the window, another in the crowd. What, no stained-glass windows?

Our Jobs; Your Savior.

All the people in the entire US lined up for Vista is less than what lines up for ONE Apple store. As Microsoft would say, "Wow!".

The Apple Store...


Welcome the REAL Social.

Entertainment for the people in line. Apple should do that for all their store openings.

The difference between Mac users and the majority of Windows users... Mac users made a conscious choice to use a Mac. Therefore, they care about Apple and things like a new Mac OS X release (and even a new Apple Store opening). Windows users use Windows because (1) they have to for work, (2) it just happened to come on with the cheapest PC at Walmart, or (3) that's what "everyone else" uses; so they don't care what Microsoft is doing, even when the first new Windows in five years is released.

The midnight lines at Apple Stores across the country (and around the world) will be embarassing for Microsoft.

Alas poor vista, failure is such sweet sorrow.

haha. someone should send this video to bill gates.

Honolulu has a population of approx 372,000 people.

( see http://honolulu.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm )

London has a population of 7,172,091 - nearly 20 times larger.

( see http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/pyramids/pages/h.asp )

In London, the midnight launch of Vista was rushed by...

... 36 people.

While the opening of a new apple store in London saw a crowd of 400 people queueing to be the first customers. (see http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=10217&Page=1&pagePos=2)

In Tokyo, with a population of around 12 million people, the Vista launch was mobbed by a huge crowd of...

80 people !

(see http://www.tunexp.com/news/windows-story-1500.html )

There were no reports from the London Vista launch of hymns or of people raising their hands to heaven...

I have some friends in Honolulu who are raging Mac fanatics and very bright -- but you of course knew that the former indicated the latter. I'll have to ask next time we talk, if they were there.

For those who refered to the hand raising as an indication of worship.

The hand raising is part of the blessing hula that the store was receiving. As happens in many commericla and residential "openings".

The first Apple Store in Hawai'i is in the Ala Moana Center - http://gohawaii.about.com/od/shopping/ss/ala_moana_a_8.htm

It received a traditional blessing, also. And funny thing is that little store was in the top 5 of all of the Apple retail operations many weeks.

Apple has very good taste. They also by in large respect local traditions.

Some people here have poor taste. Hawai'i may be an overthrown monarchy by greedy land theives (eer... I mean plantion owners from the Mainland) with the help of an all to willing military - but we are still Hawai'ian and we honour the aina in all we do. Even when we open an Apple Store.

Huna and the Ka Huna is great power and one who is the keeper of the secret - the secret in this case is prosperity and growth.

BTW - as has been said - do not worry about the Kahala Mall - VERY wealthy neighbourhood.

Second BTW - my home is Hawai'i when I am not in Australia.

MDN: power The Kahala Apple Store is full of power from the blessings of the Kahuna and from the power of the Apple faithful!

Aho...
