Design Guru Critiques Apple Retail Store

Posted by pudge on from the mmm-shiny dept.

xdfgf writes "Paco Underhill, CEO of Envirosell, gives an overview, and explains aspects, of the floor plan of the SoHo Apple store. Quote from the article: 'If success lurks in details like those, it explains why Apple CEO Steve Jobs spends half a day each week with a 20-member design team, hashing out tweak after tweak in each of his 53 retail stores. In one session, the group agonized over three types of lighting to get Jobs's iMacs to shine just as they do in glossy ads.'"

  1. Designed for Gaity by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Dear Apple,

    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

    Steve would do well to copy Bill's web site. It stands to reason that Microsoft is successful thanks to their well designed website. Why not "borrow" a few ideas and spruce up old apple.com? Too bad MS has the money to pay for all the good designers. :(

    He's not a design guru; he's a faggot. Apple users are mostly faggots.

    Thank God for AIDS.
