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."

    I can't help wondering if the embedded software running the elevator was made by Microsoft.

  2. What makes this "Steve's elevator"? by rbanzai · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm not in on the story behind it. Was this some crazy design thing that Steve demanded? Or is it just the usual "BLAME EVERYTHING ON STEVE JOBS" headline?

    If an Apple delivery truck crashes will the headline be "STEVE JOBS' TRUCK CRASHES"

    He linked the original article as you pointed out. What more do you want, a full bibliography at the end of the article? This is Slashdot, not a thesis paper. Using a link as citation is good enough.
