Long time no blog…
I’ve noticed over the last week that every Apple-related news website in my RSS reader has made mention of an Apple Store in Rome slated for 2006. I don’t understand why this is such a big deal. I don’t see postings on CNet every time CompUSA or Fry’s opens a new store. Then I realized it’s just Apple’s groupie phenom.
Apple has a following like none other in the computer sector. If you think Linux had fanboys, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen Mac-addicts gush about Apple. I haven’t really pruned out any of the pre-loaded Apple news feeds that come with NetNewsWire, but now I’m thinking it’s time. Every time Apple makes even a hint at a move, the RSS feeds lite up with the same thing. Hell, even iPod accessories from third-party manufacturers rate a story among even the larger Apple news sites. The Rome Apple Store (no, not a store for Rome apples) has finally done me in. I can’t take it anymore. Please, for the love of God, stop covering every time Steve Jobs sneezes.
