is this china? :P
Next thing we know the apple stores will utilize bullet proof glass
Not exactly bullet proof, but take a look at that photo. The pane may have been shattered, but it's still essentially intact and holding its shape. There was no glass raining down on the street after it got hit by a bullet. That's some strong glass there to absorb that much force. People talk about those huge glass storefronts being dangerous, but clearly they're not.Must've been some Android fanboys....
lol :D
Perhaps now is a good time to introduce iVest, an innovative approach to bulletproof clothing.
