Apple: The best place to score a Mac in SF

You’re already familiar with Sergey Brin’s and Larry Page’s brilliant idea of reinventing search. But their business creativity is just getting started. By providing free perks like free gyms, they’re not just keeping engineers happy and fit — they’re opening up new revenue sources. Google’s latest big brain scheme is Eau de Google, bottled straight from the dripping backs of Googlers as they work off those organic four-course meals on the treadmills. A mere whiff recalls a hundred sleepless nights, coffee, and sweaty gym shorts. Sold through Google’s Chinese division, Onshore, Google (pronounced “joo-glay”) is currently only available for men. Google plans to release an accompanying “geek sweat” for women early next year, but is still busy trying to clean up the sweat-collection process. Apparently it’s not yet fully compliant with the company’s strict privacy policy.

Britain’s Telegraph thinks members of the French government should be concerned, ashamed, and appalled by their children’s Facebook profiles. Prime minister François Fillon’s son belongs to groups focused on the morphology of merde, as they say, and drinking excessively. Kids these days! He also appears in ill health with two women! The horror! President Sarkozy’s daughter Jeanne-Marie has the sheer, unmitigated gall — or Gaul? — to be friends with her mother’s ex-lover. And Nicolas Barnier, the son of the environment minister, poses with “erotic drawings” and firearms. I’m shocked. Rather than the stodgy Brits being appalled on behalf of the French, maybe these French politicians are too busy to care about children behaving like children on a childish website. Or maybe they just recognize that crap, drinking, women, sex and guns are nothing to be embarrassed about.

Apple is continuing their retail expansion with a new store on Chestnut Street in San Francisco’s Marina District. ifoAppleStore reports that Apple overcame neighborhood opposition to destroy a previously existing building with historical tiles. Please. Like a few historical preservationists are any match for Steve Jobs’s retail designs. A mere 2.8 miles from the Stockton Street flagship, the store gives us another place to get iPhones repaired instead of having to wait in the chaos of the Stockton location. But there’s another, smarter option for getting your Apple fix.
The best San Francisco Apple outlet is the little-known store in the Stonestown Galleria. That store, while located in an uncool, fogbound mall, isn’t packed by tourists who can’t figure out their iPod Nanos. The new Marina location will no doubt have its fill of anxious yuppies. And the Stonestown outlet? It has a parking lot. (Photo by maguisso)
