"Steve Jobs: Hello, you've been selected to win this Macintosh. Simply respond with your e-mail address, and proceed to pick this machine up and walk out of the store."
(Might actually work if I got a relatively computer illiterate / gullible person talking on a MacBook :)) - phantom_mullet, on 11/21/2007, -0/+115Haha...this is totally off-topic...but I used to work at Circuit City, and if you pick up any phone and dial 50, you will be on the intercom.
- stealth45, on 11/21/2007, -5/+90"Step away from the computer, get down, and put your hands on your head. If you resist, you will be tased."
- jonmlm, on 11/21/2007, -18/+90pretty likely if they're in an apple store.. ooooh
- macguy815, on 11/21/2007, -2/+52Oh god a friend once messaged me on ichat from the apple store. He neglected to remove my name from the buddy list, and it's still there. I get messages from the store all of the time, most of them believing I'm some sort of AIM bot meant to help sell macs.
- TheRealM3D, on 11/21/2007, -0/+44So, who's going to be the first person to start a video chat and flash the entire store?
- stealth45, on 11/21/2007, -3/+45Goatse? Good idea.
- customer, on 11/21/2007, -6/+45Every store has a store number, which you can find here: http://www.ifoapplestore.com/stores/job_store_list ...
So basically the store number goes here where the x's are: arsxxx.07@mac.com
and the next numbers that I've put as x's is the computer number in the store, they way it's laid out: ars177.xx@mac.com, So depending on how many computers there are, depends on how high this number is.
Now you can chat with any computer in any Apple store. :) - stevedclarke, on 11/21/2007, -2/+31Tase him anyway.
- apple1, on 11/21/2007, -2/+30Just incase it goes down, here's a high quality screenshot: http://macslice.com/1195660122-full.png
- blackinthmiddle, on 11/21/2007, -4/+31There's a certain mob mentality with forums such as digg where people feel necessary to attack anything and everything that moves. Was your comment really necessary?
- WilliamDavis, on 11/21/2007, -2/+28It was lonliness that caused me to seek out friends at an apple store to start with. Why should I deprive myself of the joy one feels when someone contacts them first?
- dansvan, on 11/21/2007, -1/+21"Hey, I see you in that Apple Store. Good stuff in there, eh? Wait...wait! Why are you leaving? You're SURE you don't want an ipod nano?!"
- NoValidTitle, on 11/21/2007, -1/+17The internet is a series of tubes.
- herkalees, on 11/21/2007, -1/+15...because they're not secured to the display shelf/counter/etc...
- peestandingup, on 11/21/2007, -0/+14I doubt it. The Macs at the store all have "freezing" software that automatically restores them back to the original store's demo image. Thats so when customers use them all day, download junk, use photo booth, etc, they get back to normal every night & anything that was done, gets erased.
- rompom7, on 11/21/2007, -0/+14Nah, thats exactly what we need. Teaching the future internet crusaders to be careful what you click, even before they have a computer.
- dezertrat, on 11/21/2007, -0/+13FTA - "Do not use these for malicious purposes." - haha
- latova, on 11/21/2007, -10/+21DON'T TASE ME BRO.
- windmillninja, on 11/21/2007, -2/+13You seriously just asked how it works, didn't you?
- ComradeMikhail1, on 11/21/2007, -2/+13Aww no Omaha, its my home-aha.
- randydaytona, on 11/21/2007, -0/+10haha i used to work there too. you just tell all the new people they have a call on 500 and it works like 90% of the time.
- kone, on 11/21/2007, -2/+12how does a computer illiterate person know who Steve Jobs is????
- crazybrit, on 11/21/2007, -4/+14What the *****?
- nigelelliott394, on 11/21/2007, -2/+12all you need is to convince someone in the store to turn on screen sharing and then you can freak out some unsuspecting customers
- joshuaer, on 11/21/2007, -1/+10because i was sick of writing comments, taking the time to write something worth reading and then having the submit comment button grey every thing out after a click it and not post what i just said.
- apple1, on 11/21/2007, -1/+10Good question. I used http://www.browsrcamp.com/ then cropped it and uploaded.

- DephexTwin, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9Guess who wasn't funny in this thread.
- squirrelza, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9
the screen names are of the format “arsXXX.YY@mac.com” where XXX is the store number, and YY is a number starting at 01 and counting up around the store, usually starting to the immediate left of the front doors.
eg: ars075.01@mac.com should be the first computer to the left of the doors at the San Francisco store.

Taken from the website comments.. - Chazzer3, on 11/21/2007, -2/+10How long do we reckon until all of these are changed?
- tape, on 11/21/2007, -1/+9they won't if iChat is not running on the computer at the time. duh.
- ECas123, on 11/21/2007, -3/+11Steve Jobs: Hey you, yeah you. See that dude behind you with the black shirt? DON'T LOOK AT HIM. He's about to buy the last Macintosh. Don't take that crap, walk over to him and tell him exactly who he's messing with.
- iDiggIt42, on 11/22/2007, -0/+8Buddy lists are stored on AIMs servers, and probably won't be wiped.
- bjett92, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8nothing is more fun than getting the iPhone phone numbers and calling people in the stores
- MasT3r, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8767 at Home Depot ;)
one time i called one of my co workers and then redirected him on the PA (that loud speaker in the store) and he ended up cursing on it... - oshu, on 11/21/2007, -0/+7Thank you for scarring me for life.
- thetanman, on 11/21/2007, -0/+7I'm grabbing my keys...
- Unclekoolaid, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6they exist only in his mind
- shadowsurfr1, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6Or simply block anyone not on the list of contacts for that name. Then this list becomes useless until people go to the stores to add other people.
- MotherFraker, on 11/21/2007, -1/+7Don't let the bastards get you down. Anyone who writes a comment like that when you've already pre-apologized is, well... I think we can all see what they are.
- SeaICIubber, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5I made the same mistake...
- sockpuppets, on 11/21/2007, -1/+6You must be a super nerd, built from parts of lesser nerds.
- inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5shut up you 13 year old girl
- sparkmonkeyz, on 11/21/2007, -1/+5My dad can't use a computer for the life of him, but he sure knows when Apples CEO does something right and his stock goes up.
- 68024, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4Test. I couldn't post any replies to comments this morning at work. Wondering if it's to do with work firewall (previously worked fine) or the digg upgrades?
-edit - looks like it works fine from home. - slicerace, on 11/21/2007, -1/+5How did you take a screenshot of the entire thing? Surely that didn't all fit on your screen at once...
- Biks, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3OK...(slow work day) Got another hit on the Naples, Florida store (computer #5)
ars169.05@mac.com (@2:20pm)
oh wait...it's off. Damn, they keep popping on and off. - spacebar14, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3Where I work, there's a hard button dedicated to intercoming the store on each phone. Its also Norstar feature 62. Google for Norstar codes, and you can do all kinds of wacky things that supervisors don't want you to know about. Especially fun is feature 76 - direct pickup. Its fun to steal calls right from under a person!
- DantheMan1107, on 11/21/2007, -1/+4ars166.08@mac.com is on right now
