    Apple's bugs...

    It's important to debug your hardware before letting the wetware use it

    Well, that was fast. Not eight days after Apple's new flagship store was unveiled, Stevie J.'s fantastical glass elevator began acting a bit wonky, first opening and shutting its doors, then finally sealing in its passengers on the upper level. Apple store employees worked their hardest to release the bunch, but eventually the NYPD had to be called; the elevator's hydraulic system had to be drained, and the confined group was let out in the store's bowels (i.e. lower level). Everybody otherwise seemed okay, but as far as we know no one was gifted with a free iPod in exchange for the 45 minutes they spent trapped, encased in glass like so many specimens for study. Ah well, you can't always help it when your elevator gets the spinning beach ball, now can you?


    It looks like Apple's new flagship store in NYC (5th Ave, across from the Plaza Hotel)



    has at least one bug in it that needs to be fixed -- some customers got stuck in the high-tech glass elevator when something failed.

    Oops!



    Wonder if the elevator controller was running Windoze?
    “The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the tools to its own destruction,” Goebbels said as the Nazis rose to power—one of those quotes that sound apocryphal but are not.​
