- Bob042, on 10/12/2007, -2/+68I get that pretty often.... But it's only when I use IE on my dad's computer. =(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+61i can't believe Dell opened a store, I couldn't imagine how much cash they paid to get away with the fire safety codes.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+52When will the new Dell stores cross a million?
Oh that's right. Never. - Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -4/+42Easy, they have a door-man with a clicker.
- ericeman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40Just curious: how did they count this?
- Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -5/+31"CONGRATULATIONS.. You're the MILLIONTH CUSTOMER!!! We'll deliver that P.C. next friday."
- Lackadaisy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23That lucky jackass. How must it feel to be told that you are the 1 millionth person to walk into this area, here's a bunch of really cool free *****!
- exsst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18You should have kept walking in and out thousands of times a day, you'd increase your chances by far.
- DubbleA, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18a sort of "trip the laser" maybe?
- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17no. you'd be suprised how many girls in manhatten look like the olsen twins. i think new york city has so many hot girls to make up for all the ugly ones in jersey
- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18damn. i've been there 4 times. i had a 1 in 250,000 chance of winning.
- stlcadet11, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I don't see any gender based words in his comment, you can call women jackasses too you know...
- poipoipoi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14...and the guy who was supposed to be 1,000,000th but his girlfriend had to look at the horse-and-carraiges across the way in Central Park South for a second then flew into a murderous rage and tore off his own ears!
- poipoipoi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14"crossed"?
as in "you've crossed me for the last time, Starscream!" [zap!]
Verbs: They Do a Title Good. - ridgelawrence, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13I went in that dell store and its simply ridiculous, so i tried arguing if i should get a mac pro or an equal dell. and I ended up proving that the mac pro was simply cheaper, so he argued and ended up trying to build a config. But he got beat by 1000$
Uneducated employs. - Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Damn, I could have been the millionth customer if I lived in America!
p.s. If anyone from Apple is reading this, please get some Apple stores (even one to start) in Ireland. This is getting ridiculous!! There's iPod's everywhere here, and people are buying Mac's too. There's money to be had, and people to be pleased.. Apple. So get off your lazy arses, and get me some stores...thank you. - stlcadet11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Is that Mary Kate Olsen in the background in the red?
- Mambo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8What would really suck, would be if you were the sorry sap that should have been the millionth person to enter, but instead you held the door for the nice lady and let her in first.
You know she would never share. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9So you want a cookie or something?
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Nice... I think I speak for us all when I say, "Damn, wish that was me!"
- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7"The 1 million mark was crossed this weekend, with the visitor winning a MacBook, iPod Hi-Fi, iPod 5G, and Apple ProCare membership."
The 1 million and first visitor? Two iPod Hi-Fis. - polyfrolic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I agree with Ireland! Next week Apple will be opening its Millionth store in USA! Pity there are only five outside USA and not one damn store below the equator!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Macmaniac, I doubt this was the intent of your post.. but thanks for the laugh.
"u ***** dumb ***** CBTF u must be the most uneducate piece of ***** ive ever seen on digg.com... go to ***** school u ***** dumb ass piece of *****."
Oh man that's gold. Im not even going to argue with you, that'd obviously be pointless. Too funny. I hope english isn't your first language, cause you suck at it... =/ - ravitek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I wonder if she was intending to buy something when she walked in.
I wonder if she still did... - thegreyfox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6pity the fool that was the 1,000,001 visitor.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3MacManiac, your username is uncomfortably appropriate. Consider some relaxation music, maybe taking a walk outside. Oh, and try and limit your caffeine consumption to at most 5 cups a day.
Yours truly,
Rational Thought and Reality - creacher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You're obnoxious.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You're probably not far off - most people go in there to check their email/browse and waste time...when I walked out with an 17" iMac most customers in and out of the store were staring at me like I was doing something forbidden by actually buying something...LOL
- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6@Ireland
i agree. i live in new york, and there are 2 or 3 apple stores on long island plus the 2 on Manhattan. i think a good locale for a Dublin apple store would be right on Grafton Street - Markie1006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2umm it's not really a mega-store, it's just an average sized store (I bought my 17" MBP there). It's just in a prestigious location, and underground.
To be honest the inside was pretty disappointing - just reminded me of Ikea. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8That's it, this is the last no-news Apple story I will put up with on Digg
*unchecks Apple box* - geminem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1thomashallock,
here's a Quicktime "virtual" tour of the 5th Avenue Apple Store if you want to see how they utilize the space there. i think this was on the digg front page a week ago..

- joe18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ macmaniac23
stop showing off!! - rypaintD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They can afford to do this but they have to charge $787 for a good Mac Mini.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I bought a 17" iMac there a few weeks after it had opened and it's a very nice store - problem is it's become a tourist attraction so people randomly hangout in there to check their email and just waste time...this makes it impossible getting a hold of a salesperson or any staff there...and it's a pain in the ass to actually shop.
Dammm tourists.. - britkev1, on 10/12/2007, -8/+9BITCH!!
- Seidoger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just love how in the picture, no one seems to care..
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Both of you get a time out. Now go sit in a corner.
- ridgelawrence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I see MacManiac in basically all apple topics, and he can never make a logical sentence. How old is he?
- Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5@ Mambo, you comment would be funny, and would make sense it the doors weren't automatic.
& @ kevinmotel, Grafton Street would be perfect!! Really though, they need a few stores spread around the counrty. Dublin, Cork and where I live Waterford. - dizzledaking, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3While I'm not a fan of Apple stories that seem trivial, saying "I'll probably get dugg down for this but..." seems like a self fulfilling prophecy. Do you think that by saying that, you'll get dugg UP?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3No, I want people to stop caring about things just because it has the word 'Apple' in, if this was some Walmart branch having their first 1million visitors, would you care? No
It really blows my mind how anyone can find this even remotely interesting...
How does some shop which is probably hundreds (if not thousands) of miles way from you reaching some arbitrary number of visitors have any bearing on your life whatsoever? - bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1damn, that sucks, i actually also went into the store on september 9th... at about 10 pm. should have been earlier i guess.
- aoifecmcc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree with Ireland too, I live in Dublin and although there are a number of authorised resellers, its just not the same! I go to UCD, the biggest university in the country, and every second person has an iPod, and the amount of macs that I see students carrying around with them is ever increasing. I really dont see why Apple don't invest more money in the rest of the world.
- rajulkabir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It is really quite a scene in that store. There are at least a hundred (probably more) Macbooks, Macbook Pros, iMacs, Mac Pros, etc., lined up on tables solely for people to walk in and use. They are all connected to the internet, so they get a lot of walk-in traffic from people who happen to be (A) near 59th & 5th and (B) of an age to want to check their email. This turns out, not surprisingly if you know New York, to be a lot of the Young, Rich, and Beautiful. The place is packed out all day long; you can barely walk around sometimes. Friday nights they even have DJs spinning at midnight.
It remains to be seen how long it will last, but the Prince St store is still drawing in a solid crowd of severe black eyeglasses, which I think was the intended target market. - gluckman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@polyfrolic
"I agree with Ireland! Next week Apple will be opening its Millionth store in USA! Pity there are only five outside USA and not one damn store below the equator!"
There some Apple Store in Australia, but they defiantly don't look as good as the American ones - retsel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1kinda ironic that the 1,000,000 visitor was an attractive, young, modern, stylish, young adult, kinda like a stereotypical mac user! i'd love to see an 80 man who doesnt know what a computer is be the millionth visitor
- peskypescado, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I can't believe this crap makes "news" on Digg. I mean your average Wal-Mart has higher traffic than that. It is less than 9,000 people a day, for a large store on Fifth Ave. At the risk of sounding like a troll, there really are too many Mac-fanboys on Digg. Anything Apple makes the homepage. Can anyone say content dilution? ugh...
- Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2My grammer and spelling is all over the shop!! I'm off to bed, night all.
