Apple Store – Regent Street – Webcam fun
This is an update to getting my Ipod Shuffle replaced. They’ve booked me in at 4.30 but it’s only 12:50 at the moment so I thought i’d piddle about on their machines. This is a cute lil laptop quoted at £1000 connected to a super cool aluminium 20inch laptop, the coolest thing about it is the isight though. I must look a pillock making faces nobody but there you go, i’ve got 3 hours to kill. If only you could zoom there’d be some peeping tom fun.
I think i’m gonna go suck job’s dick now. I really want one.
Apple – Regent Street rant
I’m currently at the Regent Street branch of the apple store in London. The only retail store in London. I’m typing this on a lush 30inch LCD Panel connected to a dual G5 Power Mac and have wet my pants. The place has turned into an internet cafe, hordes of people not really caring what computer they’re using other than the fact that they can write emails, or long winded posts on how crap apple really is. If you’re ever in the area and need some free wifi access without having to go to Starbucks, do check out the store. The lecture room upstairs has free wifi access with comfy chairs. Half the people are using pretty X41 thinkpads from IBM.
Aside from that fact, I came here today to get my Ipod Shuffle fixed. The shuffle doesn’t mount and Job’s Minions agree with me. It’s under warranty and i’m entitled to a replacement. So whats the problem you ask? Well to get a replacement you have to talk to the Genius bar. A group of nit wits who think they know better than everyone.
So even after two minions have already explained to me that i’m right, the thing doesn’t work I still can’t get a replacement but must book an appointment tomorrow. The clincher is I can’t book an appointment for tomorrow unless i’ve signed up to the support program, instead i’ve gotta come in before 12 tomorrow and argue my case all over again.
Aside from the greatness of this computer, the mouse is atrocious and this keyboard really does suck dick. Of course you can dangle a piece of cheese to make this mouse twitch a lil less and replace the keyboard so that the keys arn’t so clunky but this whole situation has jaded me.
