Ah yes, the joys of traveling through high crime mall areas to arrive at a crowded Apple Store. At least one has a permanent police presence at the door.


I keep forgetting that the US is an urban hell scape where everyone is required to carry around automatic weapons.

I was in San Francisco last year and walk from the financial district to the pier and I wasn’t nervous at all.

My wife and I “nomad” across the US to major cities across the US half the year. I’m comfortable walking around most places during the day.


Ha ha, you are not at all describing my experience with the Apple Store in Omaha, Nebraska. YMMV (your mall may vary?).


Or any places in metro Atlanta.

The best use of VR Apple can come up with is going to a store?

It takes a lot to be outdone by the Metaverse, but trust Apple to accomplish it.


Better the mall than the office, I’ll give them that much.


I almost did a spit take. Siri is so painfully bad it could probably even screw that up.
