Standing outside the flagship Apple store this morning was quite a rush. Some people had been in line for days, while some waited less than an hour.
Seconds before the 9am launch, Apple store employees got the crowd riled up with a count-down. A woman from the crowd said, “A baby has been born.” As people began to file out of the store victoriously with their new gadgets, a woman passing by asked an NYPD officer, “Are they giving them away?”, to which he replied, “It sure seems like it doesn’t it?”
