A cube?

Humm
so the cube is comming back!
only much bigger
think 256 G5's and 10,000 1 gig rams
and oh yea 100 vid cards

I love that man. Persistent, tempermental, odd enough to be interesting.

The cube is going to cost 9 million. Yeah, it makes a nice entrance but...

Jobs REALLY likes those CUBES...

NeXT cube, G4 Cube, now THIS!

MDN Magic Word: GREAT!

Is there any picture of depiction of this cube?

Aside: My Mac Plus will turn 20 next year. Can I get Apple to replace it with something new?

Here's what I found at AppleInsider...

Jobs may like cubes, but he ain't square, that's fer sure!

...and what did Mr Rubik have to say about this?

Steve should replace the cube with a spinning, floating deltoidal icositetrahedron that randomly presents microscopic tears in the fabric of the space-time continuum within a fifty foot radius of the structure. He's got twenty years. Do it, RDF Man!

After 20 years it will look like trash and SJ will kick the bucket anyway so who is the real winner here?

Face it kids, we got 20 years of great computing left before Bill Gates swallows us whole.

Enjoy it while we can.



MDN Word: Progress, If Windows is progress what does that make Apple?

Uhhhh... honestly I wouldn't want to put $9 Million into something that a kid with a BB gun could take out. I mean the only thing that prevents wackos from destroying the national monuments at random is the fact that they're made of big hunks of stone and steal. And Jobs designed it? Of course engineers went over the design, but how structurally solid is it? Will cracking a wall or two bring it down?

Somebody didn't like it and is puking in the garbage.

Must be a Microsoft employee.



MDN Word: "surface" Like when you scratch the surface, you'll realize most of the world is poor inferior folks who deserve Microsoft's mistreatment.

I would replace the cube with pink fuzzy dice. Steve-o needs to let out his inner pimp daddy.

Steve Jobs is going to be buried in his self made glass coffin.

We Mac users will build a shrine and watch him sleep.

I'm taking my ball (err, cube) and going home!

Let's face it, in 20 years they'll either want to renew the lease anyway, or else the cube will look so outdated nobody but Steve would want it anyway. So who cares?

OMG that guy looking in the trash can cracked me up.

Come on, that donut's still good! You know you want it!

In 20 years glass cubes will be so passe that Steve will give it away---If he's still around.

Seems Steve has a cube fetish. I guess he's a pubist, I mean cubist. I wonder if...oh never mind.

>stone and steal.>

Smoke it before you rip it off.

I don't understand why some people in this forum think a glass cube, a geometric shape, will look out of place in 20 years. Will the pyramids need replacing in 20 years also?

Most people have an appreciation for history. If the store is a success, and the vandals don't have their way, this glass cube will probably become a well known landmark.

I'm telling you it's a time travel portal. Steve already knows what it will look like in twenty years. He's also seen OS X 47.2.3 Paleofelid. The OS that's packed with ancient wisdom.

Oops. Make that OS XLVII 47.2.3 Paleofelid. (And all PowerMacs are inch high obelisks created by the head of Jonathan Ive.)

picture water coming down the sides from both inside and outside with Bill Gates hanging in effigy from beautiful palm trees and birds flying about

so whats gonna happen to the SoHo apple store..and i thought that that apple store was beautiful and this ones gonna be even more??? and that cube is beuatiful...(at least the artists rendering)

Just don't invite Ella Fitzgerald to sing at the opening.
