So it looks they are still trying to copy Apple store !
I wonder what would be your first question to a "answer bar attendant":oops: , since it is obviously not "genius" you will be talking to ?

Maybe , why are you selling system that some guy smoking meth in Russia can hack in an hour and steal your whole life , house , credit card and such ?

My wife and I both have macbooks (although mine only has Ubuntu & Arch installed on it). Let me tell you though, talking to anyone at the "Genius Bar" is worse than talking to salesman at Comp USA. Apparently, the only requirement to be a "Genius" is that you can read canned help files and dress emo. Maybe Apple thinks that technical know-how is someone related to the number of piercings that you can cram into your face.

You know what that and my 360 are the only Microsoft products I want in my house. Even so I would try to ubuntu-ify the table.

Of course, you could build your own table with the same tech, for cheaper, with Linux support built in :)

(There are some kits / nearly prebuilt ones out there, too).


I would walk in there with a friend, talk quietly for a while so they stop paying attention, then loudly exclaim "Woah, they have the Internet on computers now!" ...Then I would wait for the reaction.

I wouldn't have my birthday in one of those if they paid me!
