The trio of locations will feature Apple's next-generation store design inspired by chief design officer Jony Ive, including some combination of large glass doors, light boxes extending the length of the ceiling, indoor trees, touch-sensitive sequoia wood tables, sequoia wood shelves along the walls, and large digital screens for product marketing.

Jeez, talk about milking a dead cow. We get it.I think I'm looking forward to the MBP updates more to silence the haters, than actually look to buy one.
True, but it's close to trolling; they mention it relentlessly, every which way they can.I don't think people who recognize the slowness of Apple's innovation lately are necessarily haters.
I understand people who have older machines, which they use for their livelihood, and don't feel that the current spec justifies paying that much -- especially if there's an update around the corner. That's absolutely fair enough and I agree with them.
But a lot of people seem to be acting like it's completely the end of the world and will hammer the issue wherever possible. You know the ones; you see them in almost every thread. As if they can't do anything on their current Macs that will suddenly change when they're refreshed with better specs. I question how many of the persistent whiners actually own a Mac.
You're not supposed to call it a store. It's an enlightened destination ;)
They need to install stained glass and light some incense.
