Apple Store Opening on 5th Ave

As if you hadn't heard, the new Apple Cube Store opens today at 6pm. Fight the crowd at the opening and you have a decent chance at snagging a t-shirt. Opening for the fifth anniversary of Apple's retail efforts, the Cube is located on 5th Ave between 58th and 59th. In general, we here at GDBar salute the spread of Mac products (not to mention the 24 hour availability!)... but shame, shame, shame on Apple for ever letting the phrase "think inside the box" creep into their marketing efforts. Sigh. Meanwhile, Gothamist has a nice rundown of the buildup, including Flickr streams.
