The Apple Cube…revealed

Apple CubeWe all know Steve Jobs’s fondness for all things cubical (those Rubix things? Dynamite.). First it was the NeXT cube, then it was the PowerMac G4 Cube, and now we have the Apple Cube at Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

We’ve talked about the store before, and Aaron mentioned the line forming for the grand opening (which is already underway, it appears—geez, you’d think a Star Wars movie was opening down there or something). But as of yesterday, workers began removing the black covering which shrouded the cube, revealing the glorious glass monolith beneath for all to see. The grand opening festivities are scheduled for tomorrow.

You know, the Apple Cube really reminds me of I.M. Pei’s pyramid outside the Louvre in Paris. This will fit perfectly into my forthcoming novel: The Jobs Code. It’s the story of a dashing blogger who discovers that Steve Jobs embedded codes and riddles inside each and every Macintosh model ever produced—together they reveal a terrible truth about the world’s most famous computer brand. The secret is jealously guarded by a secretive organization of Apple zealots. Way more believable than that Da Vinci crap.

The Da Vinci Code is a load of crap.
