Behold, the new Apple Store in Waterloo!
CBC's the National did a piece on the Waterloo Apple Store opening, portraying it as a "provocative" move so close to RIM's headquarters:

No doubt Apple will have pretty similar designs in malls. They save the real creativity for large flagship stores in big cities. Kind of disappointed Canada doesn't really have a cool flagship store.
The hanging Apple logo is pretty cool I got to admit. Not sure if other stores have those, but then again I haven't been to an Apple Store in awhile.
The amount of people gawking at the store was really big. Almost everyone who walked by stopped in their tracks and looked inside.
So the line up currently sits at 6 people as of 0625hrs. Mall doors don't open until 0700hrs. Lineup is forming at the main entrance by Old Navy and security has stated that this will be the only entrance being used for the grand opening.
0712: We're now in the mall and lined up in front of the store. Lineup has grown to about 25 people or so. At this point I can officially claim to be second in line.
Here's what I imagine is happening;
I'll assume you were all inside, running from display to display, screaming like teeny-boppers at a 1959 Beatles concert.
Those of you who lined up before the store opened, were then taken to a secret room that looks like the bridge of the Star ship Enterprise. Steve Jobs was in there reclining on a divan, sipping Cappuccino, (you were all offered one), and he thanked you personally for coming.
You were given a new MacBook Air, and an iPhone 5 and you signed an NDA. You also got a T-shirt.
Before you were ushered from the room by English Butlers, Steve invited each of you to stop by his house any time you were in his neighbourhood. He made some vague reference to the work he's doing with anti-gravity and cellular energy.
You all high-fived each other before being driven in Steve's personal Limo to breakfast .
Steve's limo is solar-powered, and it hovers. It has no wheels.
I'm right, aren't I? That's pretty much exactly what happened, isn't it?! :yikes:
