HA! I knew something was screwy! You guys remember when I went off about the Apple Store guy following us then the security guards being all paranoid about us. Well read this quote from Wired.

Allen has discovered that Apple uses a sophisticated video-monitoring system to automatically count the number of customers who enter the store, and to document their behavior once inside. According to Allen, Apple uses a ShopperTrak system to count the number of people passing the store, the percentage who enter, and the percentage of those who make a purchase. Allen declined to state his source. An Apple spokeswoman confirmed that the company carefully tracks consumer traffic and buying patterns, but wouldn't discuss its methodology.

I figured they had something like that. Big brother isn't the government it's Apple. Let the flames fly mac fans!

In other Apple news, thsi is one REALLY LONG ASS line! I would have said screw it and ordered online! Probably by the last person got in the store they were sold out of everything! ;-b Posted by chris at 09:38 PM Mac • (0) Trackbacks
