I find how orderly and calm they are even more astounding than how many they are. If the like were a quarter of that size where I live, there would be riots. xD
......WOW..... not much more i can say... i got to agree with OdoyleRules17, i thought i had been in some long lines to.... but after this vid, i realize that i have not even seen the begining of a long line :P, lol
You're crazy. Every Macintosh model is on display, every iPod, the iPhone, the Apple TV, tons of accessories for Macs and iPods, software... You've obviously never been to a real Apple Store.
No, there are actually Apple sub-stores that look like little hallways with maybe 6 machines set up along with a single iPhone and one of each iPod. The Stanford Shopping Center Apple sub-store in Palo Alto is one of them.
This shows Japanese people are usually more patient than Americans and organized. If it was in New York or something, you know a bunch of people would start cutting and fights breaking out.
You are absolutely right. In the U.S. people would be fighting and selling off their places in the line, lol. Even though it shows a LOT fo patience by one side, it shows they are very impatient in the fact that they couldnt wait to go buy the computers some other day. They had to get it that day, no one day latter or a week
dont tell me that th ejapanese actually buy americas over priced shit.. microsoft is cheaper.. but im sure they could make their own computers....... honestly people, japanese people love electronics.. so why buy over priced american crap?!?!?!
I am using iMac right now... Japanese people love Mac. One of Japan's largest industry, anime were made by Macs. when I was in Japan, my elementary school had PowerPC, iMac and iBooks.
Over priced American crap? Please... Macs are the best computers on the face of the Earth and the Japanese know it. They're not dumb enough to fall for Microsoft's Wal-Mart operating system.
Hm... Dual Quad-Core Xeons, up to 32GB of RAM, GeForce 8800 GTX, the fact that Macs actually run Windows better than most PCs... That sounds like a system that can run your fucking ignorant game to me. My MacBook Pro ran BioShock beautifully. You did see that article in PC World, right? The one where they stated that the fastest Windows notebook they tested was a MacBook Pro?
What use is it to argue with a servant of Emperor Jobs, they don't give up. Why would you spend a fortune on that shit when you could build a PC that's BETTER for CHEAPER.
I could give you numerous reasons, but you won't know what I'm talking about until you've used it yourself, extensively. If you want to know what makes a Mac a Mac, go to your local Apple store and ask a salesperson for a demonstration.
Spotlight search. Finds anything on my hard drive, as I type each letter. I can even look up word definitions using Spotlight.
With a single click of my middle mouse button, I can see every open window and quickly choose the one I'm looking for.
Windows PCs have no equivalents for iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb and Garageband. You can talk about Adobe Photoshop Elements, Windows Movie Maker or Vista's DVD authoring software, but they're all junk compared to iLife.
Even some of the "pro" audio applications for Windows PCs don't compare to Garageband, which Apple gives away for free on every new Mac. I used to use Cool Edit Pro (now Adobe's Audition). My recordings sound much better with Garageband and it's so much easier. Cool Edit was a joke compared to Garageband, let alone Apple's Logic Studio or Logic Express.
Viruses? You can argue that all you want, I still haven't had one in over three years of Mac usage and I don't see myself installing any sort of antivirus software any time in the next decade.
Contrary to popular belief, there's a plethora of great Mac software. There's definitely no shortage of great software. I also love the fact that none of it is plastered with ads or tosses files all over my hard drive.
Most Mac applications are self contained in a single icon, making it easy to install and uninstall. All you have to do to install is drag the icon to the Applications folder. To uninstall, drag it to the trash. Applications don't throw files all over your hard drive, in your system folders and other locations that make them impossible to remove.
Mac OS X logs EVERYTHING. If anything crashes, you can find out why. Everything is stored in human-readable logs. No cryptic error messages.
Mac OS X is always fast. It's not prone to the phenomenon known as "Winrot". I used to have to do a fresh install of Windows every few months because the system would inherently become unstable and slow after a while. I've been using Mac OS X Leopard since it's release and it's still as fast as the day I did a fresh install. Tiger was the same way, fast as the day I first installed it when it was released. In fact, Mac OS X gets faster as it begins to cache commonly used data.
I also like the fact that my application windows aren't cluttered with menus. All of Mac OS X's application menus are on the menu bar at the top of the screen. Change applications and the menu bar dynamically changes to that application's menus. It makes for a cleaner interface.
There's a another huge reason. The interface. So simple, so easy to use, so much faster to do things with. Apple works hard to minimize the amount of clicks it takes to do mundane tasks.
I love how the Apple's applications are integrated with one another. I can easily browse my iTunes library in iMovie to find a background track for my movie. I can easily access my iPhoto albums to find photos for an iWeb page. I can quickly get a Google Map for an address in my Address Book with a right click. Address Book also makes it easy to read off phone numbers by making the type large, centering it on the screen and fading out the rest of the screen. It's a nice feature.
How many reasons do you want? System wide spell checking? I love that feature. Wikipedia built into the Dictionary? The Dashboard is much more useful than having a "sidebar" that eats your screen real estate. Do I need to get into how versatile the Dock is compared to the archaic "taskbar"? How about the fact that I NEVER have to install hardware drivers? I plug something in and it works, unless it's a really obscure piece of Chinese crap. Printers, mice, cameras, MP3 players, scanners.
Just because a Mac OS X is so easy to use doesn't mean that it's not for computer geeks, such as myself. Mac OS X is UNIX, after all. I have full access to the UNIX command line via the Terminal, just like Linux and other UNIX operating systems. I can even compile pretty much any Linux software to run in Mac OS X, as long as I have the correct libraries. Mac OS X supports X11 applications and even gives them a Mac OS X look and feel.
So, because I'm intelligent, I need to get a life? How does that make any sense? Ubuntu is like Mac OS X's retarded cousin. Ubuntu is shit compared to OS X. They can't even give it away and get more users than Mac OS X. Mac OS X is the largest Unix distribution, by far. You need to stop hating on something you don't understand. Get yourself an education, fool.
Why would I admit that something "sucks" when it clearly doesn't. If Macs "sucked", I wouldn't be using one every single day, even though there's a new PC sitting right behind me. Just because your stupid ass isn't using a Mac doesn't mean that Macs "suck". If Mac's "sucked", there wouldn't be thousands of intelligent Japanese people standing in this ridiculously long line. You're blind to what's right in front of you. Watch this video again, it's obvious that your logic is flawed.
omfg i was starting to get dizzy watching all them people waiting in 1 line for just a an applecomputer they will never in their life be able to get in that place lol i still cant belive it i would kill myself from waiting =() !!!! ???? wats with them people
Or you could just order from Apple's website.
