"Henry Blodget reports for Silicon Alley Insider", I still trying to figure out how he a Silicon Valley Reporter in NYC.

Jul 14, 09 - 04:46 pm Comment from: Demon

Not to mention how he's a tech reporter and never been in an Apple Store?

You used to be able to copy the QuickTime Pro serial number off the Macs in the Apple store (found in System Preferences) and unlock your copy. They've since disabled that preference pane, but not before I got mine!

It's very funny to watch the so called "experts" to give opinions and reviews when they are trapped in their little worlds.

Most of the Windows lovers and Black berries lover, above all, the "plastic keyboard lovers" have never used a apple product before.

Another refugee from the dark side.

Wow. A tech writer who wasn't even curious enough to see what all the fuss was about regarding the Apple Store. And he's in NYC, where the Apple Stores are about as huge as a New Yorker's ego!

Blodget's not really a tech writer, he owns the website. If you recall, he was the so-called analyst that drove the tech bubble at the turn of the millenium.

Henry who???

' might want to consider righting your narrow perspective now , henry and writing about your new found enlightenment.....

Wow, some I guess some people have not been around that long... Silicon Alley is in reference to the area of new york city where lots of web and tech shops were based in the late 90s. I am feelin' old!

OK, so the guy converts and gets hammered for it?

Way to gain coverts!

Silicon Alley refers to NYC . . . just an FYI

Ah, you beat me to it, easi . . .

I spent a week waiting for my iPhone 3G S while seeing ALL green dots on the Apple web page for California stores. (page that showed which stores had the new iPhone in stock)
I finally got fed up and with ATT's permission (they already charged my credit card) drove to the Apple store and bought it that day.

Is Apple holding back on the ATT stores or does ATT not care?

RIM is doomed.

It's time for RIM to bring out their secret weapon. Buy 1 get 2 free!!!! LOL

I personally hate the Apple store. Waaaaaaay too crowded. I am afraid I'll be pick-pocketed.

Of course all they'd get is deck of cards and some odd coins....maybe some sponge balls.

He'll be at the Apple Store more often, now that he experinced nirvana! Besides that's where all the smart and hot women go.

"It's nice here in Apple world." Henry is a good writer.

Correct Title:
"Henry Blodget never been in an Apple Store till now!"

What a dufus.

..."Besides that's where all the smart and hot women go."

I noticed that also. Smart, interesting, and open to conversation, almost makes me wish I was single.

Lauren couldn't be that smart if she bought a PC for video editing.

@quadcore

sponge balls? Time to see the urologist.

Henry Blodget. Purveyor par excellence of internet bubble. Also barred from securities industry as analyst by SEC if memory serves.

A New York based tech writer never been to an Apple Store? WTF?
Better late than never, I guess.

All the NYC Apple Stores are tourist hubs and destinations and sort of techno-cultural phenoms.
The SoHo store was a major hangout and pickup joint a few years ago.
The Fifth Avenue Store is ALWAYS crowded!
I like the 14th Street Store. I think it's a great design, in a funky old loft building.
I live near then new Upper West Side store that's still under construction.

FYI: Silicone Alley is generally along Broadway below 8th Street, but mostly thought of as being in SoHo flanking Broadway between Houston (pronounced HOWston) and Canal Streets... give a few blocks trickling north and south.

That's DOWNTOWN, dooods.

There are TONS of design and media companies based there. I'd guess it's probably 70 to 80% Mac, too! Most of the PCs are in accounting departments and a few lame dorks still running AutoCAD.

> Blodget reports. "Revelation: It really is like entering another world.

The closest thing to teleportation until... Apple invents that too.

@twinkie

I said Hot & Smart. One out of two doesn't count, so she's OUT!

Meat packing district?

I pack my meat regularly three times a week, I don't need a district to do that!

Henry Blodget, the original bobbly head. Can't stand to listen or look at the guy. With his new iPhone, maybe he can just text in his reports.

Jul 15, 09 - 08:06 am Comment from: Buster

He made the Canada AM business report this morning. The idea that he was never in an Apple store was also scoffed at.

Never in an Apple store? Insane. That's like someone who writes about the retail industry never having stepped into Target or WalMart, or a food writer never once eating at a fast-food restaurant (not to compare the Apple Store experience with Target, WalMart or McDonald's, but hopefully you get the point).

I guess the iPhone has officially reached the lowest common denominator.

@ Mr Reeee
Silicone Alley? Is that a strip of breast augmentation specialists?

@Cubert

I had a buddy do that. We went in to look around, he opened up Grab and took a screenshot, then emailed it to himself. I actually think he did it on the Photoshop CS3 they had installed on one of the PowerMac G5s as well.

ACTULLY, I like BB more than iPhone.
