Thurrott: Apple Lines = Civilization’s End
Seriously, Paul you are a good man. You need to get with the 21st century.
Paul wrote on his blog today that he was “worried” about the fact is mother in law called him to see if he was going to the Apple Boston store opening. Even his wife was asking about him going. He couldn’t resist a dig against Apple fans though even in trying to explain his ho hum behavior ( of which there is nothing wrong by the way. )
The problem comes when he says that people lining up to get into a store’s grand opening is another step toward the end of Western Civilization. Oh, really. Not a 7th century bunch of religious fanatics who have for certain said they want to wipe it out? Not politicians who really could care less about their country as long as they get the money and connections. Not the pathetic and worthless junior and high schools in most major cities of the US which now exceed the 50% drop out rate.
Seriously, Paul, lining up to see a beautiful and innovative new store is not so bad. You really need to get out more. Maybe go to a grand opening or something.
