Jobs' Glass Elevator Locks in Group Customers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the different-kind-of-technology-lock-in dept.

Juha-Matti Laurio writes "Not eight days after Apple's new New York flagship store was unveiled, Stevie Jobs' 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. Close-up picture included to the source story as well."

    Actually, the word hydraulic can refer to any liquid.

    Both demophobia and agoraphobia are fear of crowds. You probably meant acrophobia, fear of high places.
