Down with technology
Apple Store, originally uploaded by hondawang.
Somebody had a little too much fun last night, and the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue was the victim. Apparently somebody threw a brick through the store's window:
A man who police said was drunk threw a brick and smashed the front window of the Apple Computer store at 679 N. Michigan Ave. Tuesday night, police said.
At about the same time, the same suspect broke a window within a few blocks away at the Rosebud on Rush restaurant, 720 N. Rush St., with what was believed to be a table, police said.
I do believe we have a picture of the suspect.
Not that I condone vandalism, but the Apple Store had it coming. I'll give Apple credit, because they make some great products - the iPod, for example - and Apple computers are nice and run well and all that. I may even get an iPhone if, as rumored, it comes out on Verizon.
Nevertheless, I do feel a little schadenfreude that this happened to the Apple Store. A goodly amount of Apple users, and the Apple company itself, are smug and smarmy. Their air of superiority over we pedestrian PC users in unmatched.
Oooh, I'm an Apple. Look at me. I've got shiny buttons and ergonomic controls and other sexy features. Do you know Apples don't get viruses? You're the aging, ironic hipster of computers, always willing to sit on a perch and lecture about how not only are you great, but that other guy sucks. Screw you and your oversized DJ headphones.
Speaking of hipsters, this is a great website to make fun of hipsters.
