Man, this is crazy! Not the store going down and coming back up, but all you people going mad over it. How likely would it be to find people going crazy over Dell's store doing this?
It's not about the store. It's about Apple's f***ed up hardware-cycle policy or even about their general policy. People want new hardware. We can be pretty sure about everyone on the market, but not Apple. And that pisses people off. If I buy Apple now, God knows if I'll be able to buy next one - they might throw away all hardware that I deem essential and what then? In PC world (not that Mac is any different than a PC) there are alternatives - you can look for exactly what you want. In Mac world there is only ONE (MB, MBP, MBA are not really different options; fundamentally - hardware wise - they're all the same) option and it's a wildcard.
Or another example of what pisses me off. The middle MBP. I don't want to shed dough for the top of the line, but I want the damn 512MB of video memory. But the middle one has 256! Seriously? There is NO TECHNICAL OR COST CUTTING REASON (like saving 5 bucks maybe) to do it. But the top line has a bigger HDD which I don't care for and a slightly faster CPU which I don't care for either. I care for 200 quid heavier price tag.
I think whole Apple is a bunch of a**holes and if it wasn't for the fact that I like OS X, I'd be happy to move on to greener pastures.
