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:

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
