I'm still watching it now. WOAH it's a big line..! right up to the end of the road with the crossing, and across the road - the line starts again..!

I wish I was there (but near the front ;)), actually I wish they'd have a big Apple Store like that in the UK - somewhere near, say - Swansea/Cardiff...then I'd be happy.

I can only imagine how small the line would be if it were a new MS store (no seriously, not 'as' many people would queue up).

Instead of watching it via stream, I downloaded the .mov file and fast forwarded it and WOAH..!!!!!!!! that's a long one.

From the store, they line up down the road - nice little junction/crossing, so, a new line starts - and I counted like 10 pavements full and 2 minutes through the video it was announced the 1000th person. Another 10 minutes in the video to go, so we're talking a few thousand.

They didn't just queue down the long road - there was a junction on the other side of the street so they're queuing all around the blocks. I am truly impressed with the sheer length of this queue.

I love when people feel the need to jump in threads and just spout out negative comments.

What's the big deal? There probably isn't any to you, but for the person who posted it, he thought it was cool. Give him a break.

If you don't have something positive to say, why even post? What is the motivation to spend the time typing something totally negative and off topic?

And from mods too, shame :no:

what exactly did keldyn and I say that was negative?

2 of my posts were asking why so many people were lined up outside of the store. I still don't even know. Was it an event?

the other was Keldyn dropping a joke, and the last was was me acknowledging a joke.

It was the grand opening of the first Apple retail store outside of the states, and its gotta be Apple's largest store so far. There has been line up's for every store so far, but obviously none as big as this.

Pictures of the actual store can be found here:

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Yeah I have a Sound Blaster X3 too (bought myself) and that is set up with the 6-channel cable for true surround. BUT Spotify and TIDAL do not support 5.1 SACD formats so I have to use Acoustic Engine for the fake surround. Apparently Apple Music is the only music streaming service with true Atmos/5.1 support.

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
