Couple Denied Wedding Reception at Apple Store


The wedding is probably the oldest traditional ceremony we have left. Even though nuptials are common, couples always try to make their ceremony reflect their personalities and interests. One Mac fanatic couple would like to have it at a somewhat unusual location: their local mall's Apple Store.

Yes, they want to have their reception at the mall. You see, the couple met at the Apple Store and want their friends to be able to share in their love for the fruitful machines from Cupertino. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the recording of the phone call captured in the YouTube video above, the store manager isn't entirely supportive of the idea, indicating they can't close the store during business hours.

We think the big wigs at Apple should pull some strings and make this happen. Every local news network (and tech blog) would be there to chronicle the event, in addition to hundreds of other random Mac fanatics who would shower the lovers with gift cards and iPod accessories. That's the sort of publicity you can't pay money for.

New York Apple Stores Sold Out of iPhones


The IPhone is very popular. It is so popular in fact that Apple retailers in New York are finding it impossible to keep on their shelves.

On Wednesday, all three locations - the original SoHo store, the 59th Street store and the one on West 14th Street in Manhattan were completely sold out. When asked when new shipments were coming in, a definitive answer wasn't given, according to Danny Shea of the Huffington Post. A representative was kind enough to point out that AT&T Wireless Stores also sells the iPhone. Several New York AT&T locations do, in fact, have the coveted gadget in stock. Or you can just order it online.

Now take a deep breath and relax.

Model Writes Memoir at Apple Store

Is it us, or has Apple truly cultivated a cozy, nice-guy image in the consumer's world of technology? That funny commercial with the uptight PC nerd versus the laid-back Apple innovator type aside, it seems as if Apple's trying to live up to the image. Get this: A model actually wrote her memoir in New York's SoHo Apple Store over a period of three months.

Isobella Jade, a diminutive catwalker, wrote Almost 5'4" in late-2005, early-2006 using the Apple Store's computers, saving the new material she wrote each day by e-mailing herself. The book details her adventures as a vertically-challenged model trying to break into the business in the big city. Upon completion, Jade presented a reading of her memoirs at the same Apple Store. The rights to the work have been sold to the U.K.'s The Friday Project, which plans a commercial release in 2009.

Although we can just look at this story as one of those kooky, warm fuzzies delivered to you by Apple, we think Jade's actions may signal something far more significant. This episode might be a harbinger of a trend to come: an e-publishing phenomenon in which people use public computers in the public sphere to produce something accessible to the general public, from the novel they've always wanted to write to their gentle treatise on the Nice Guy.

No Space for MySpace at Mac Stores

You don't normally link the U.S. Military and Apple too often, so it may seem odd that the Mac-Daddy is taking inspiration from the Army. It looks like Apple has banned MySpace from machines on display in its Apple Stores.

According to the company's press release, usage of the site was taking up too much of the stores' bandwidth (sound familiar?). MySpace was also banned because stroll-by MySpacers were hogging the demo machines. Apparently they were spending such a long time browsing and updating their profiles that would-be customers couldn't sneak in to take the machines for a test drive.

This may be a small and logical step for Apple, but we hope the move isn't an indication that the company is taking more and more inspiration from military forces -- though an olive-drab iPod might actually be pretty cool.
