Apple May Set Up Shop at The Edge After All

Oops- that said mopar- I am also soooooo jealous you worked for Macweek and got to interview those guys! I’m still hoping to be given a Mac- I think I should stop at 4 computers- only after I load one up with Linux tho 🙂
I’m no expert either but i do remember that they did work together (not easily or well perhaps) but there is an interesting interview with the 2 of them that I was just reading from, I think, 2007. Maybe sheds more light:

I think also not that Gates invented the visual interface- maybe it would have been more accurate if I said he developed the first popular graphical interface. And I believe he was doing that for Mac. Mac was practically the only game in town- at least the only good game. And Gates was fascinated by it.
YOu lucky thing! I hope you kept the original mouse? I remember when I got my first one- I thought I was so techno-edgy.
This is 100% a PR stunt from the edge building to get people talking and interested in the property. It’s so incredibly obvious. Not sure why no one has called them on it.
Apple doesn’t move into a shopping center and hope that other big retailers will move in.
They only open up near huge populated shopping areas. Especially areas where there is alot of money being tossed around by thousands of people daily. It would be if an Apple Store opened on Ave B and 10th st . Doesn’t make Apple Cents. It’s a 10min walk to the nearest L station. Not to mention there is an Authorized Apple Dealer and repair center 1 block away called Mikey’s Hookup. I bet the Edge building is totally freaked out right now cause no retailers are interested in moving into an experimental shopping center right on the FDR highway version of Williamsburg.
Look it up where, bxgrl? It is false.
Microsoft did at various times develop software that ran on Apple computers. In other words, they were a third-party developer. Is that what you’re talking about? But Gates wasn’t employed by Jobs.
Also, a company called SRI was doing something with, I think, graphical interfaces and mice (I forget) before Xerox. Some kind of research. But Xerox was the first to develop the mouse and the graphical user interface.
Also, not that I have perfect knowledge of the history of the computer industry or anything, but FWIW I grew up two blocks from Xerox’s research center and helped test the mouse when I was 11. My mother worked as a secretary there. My dad worked for HP. Many years later, I worked for MacWEEK. I’ve interviewed Steve Jobs a couple times. Also have met Bill Gates.
I heard a Ferrari dealership might be interested in the space.
mopar- indeed he did. look it up.
NorthHeights- though I said crossroads, sorry it was taken a bit literally.
Court and Atlantic to Atlantic and Smith ( most definitely Boerum Hill) is 2 blocks and a 3 minute walk.
Court and Atlantic to Court and Degraw ( most definitely Carroll Gardens ) is 9 blocks and a 10 minute walk.
Rob, you do love to play the contrarion.
THL, the “draw” is that everyone’s iPods and laptops are always breaking, so they have to go to the Apple store to get them fixed.
Dave, Fort Greene is great but you gotta try El Almacen in Williamsburg. You will love it.
“Now…Court and Atlantic is another story. You are at the crossroads of downtown, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens.”
Actually I’d say that was the crossroads of downtown, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and maybe Boerum Hill if you want to be generous. But Carroll Gardens, while near, is not there.
“I think they moved to Dumbo, wasder. And they were evil.”
They have both W’burg and Dumbo locations. If by evil, you mean ridiculously overpriced, then I agree. I don’t understand why anyone would buy there unless you absolutely need it today and can’t wait 2-3 days for Amazon (or even Apple.com) to ship it to you.
