It appears the new Apple Store that opened in New York with its “all glass look” is not without problems. Maybe some of you remember the G4 Cube and its infamous cracks-in-case problems. Let’s hope their new store doesn’t develop the same problems, still it would appear that the all glass elevator got stuck this week, trapping Apple Customers inside for 45 minutes. Is this elevator a new implementation of DRM that protects customers against themselves?

There is apparently an advertisement of Maxim magazine’s cover that is located in a desert. Nothing is special about that except that it’s viewing (and size) was optimized for satellite imaging as it is a 75 feet by 100 feet AD located in the middle of nowhere and facing toward the sky!

Well that’s is what I think after reading an article on Geek.com.

I suggest these new names to Intel for single core processors (actually those that have a defective second core):
Bug-O
Crud-O
Crap-O

Then there is also the dual core versions (those in which we have not found too many bugs yet):
Duo Bug-O
Duo Crud-O
Duo Crap-O

Then there’s the slimmed down version (the ones with defective caches/SX-type/Celeron-type):
Bug-Itt-O
Crud-Itt-O
Crap-Itt-O
