Microsoft lineMicrosoft Line 1.0. Cognoscenti know to wait for Microsoft Line 3.0.

Wes Teasdale photographed the line outside the grand opening of the Microsoft Store at the Pru at 7 a.m. today. No doubt, most people were eagerly awaiting their shot at the latest Windows Phones, rather than the 1,000 Lenny Kravitz tickets Microsoft was giving away.

It's a social event for people who aren't busy, I guess.

Went by there last night. Think I caught a virus of some kind.

They were estimating about 300 people lined up. There is DJ to keep people entertained. I also heard they were giving away gift bags to the first 1000, but that is not confirmed.

but I'll bet you can form a Flash mob there, unlike the Apple Store.

They use HTML 5.
I use YouTube daily on my iPhone.
They are losing the app as a default in the next roll-out but you should be able to view videos thru the browser.

I expect more brands will be following Apple, Sony and MS; while we see a resurgence of small, local, high-end specialty stores.

Lenny Kravitz is still a thing? Last time I saw his name, it was because he was some celebrity's boyfriend.

but that's retarded. I'm not remotely new agey or a commie, but the pretentiousness and crass materialism in our society is even getting to me. And some up and coming nations and societies are far worse than American when it comes to obsession with materialistic things.
