The city that never sleeps now has a second Apple Store that will be
open 24/7, and there's an interesting article on Apple's strategy for
the stores. (I must admit that I thought Jobs was loosing his marbles
when he opened the first store, given the trials and tribulations of
Gateway at the time):

I'll be in the hood on Wednesday afternoon, and if the lines have
died down, I'll check it out. Apple has a time laps view of the crowds:

And now, Dell has announced that _they_ will be opening "stores",
although you won't be able to buy anything there (hence the quotes
around the word 'store').

For a humorous take on this, visit

It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning.
