More fun with Steve's NYC cube

I am gong to stop by some time friday.

I just passed the cube at about 5:30 PM and asked one of the supervisors ( he was in a civilian shirt and a hard hat) when Steve is going to let us in. He said to come back in about a month and it should be ready. FWIW.

I heard that the titanium was replaced with green meteor rock, and that the sales people will wear some kind of blue stone pendant that will hypnotize customers into impulse buying one of everything in the store. Then, after the store profits a billion dollars in the first quarter of its operation, Steve Jobs will stand in the doorway of his Manhattan behemoth, tear off his full-head mask to reveal that he is actually Lionel Luthor. World domination will be his. Not even Clark Kent can stop him ... Or can he?

Cut to theme Music - "Somebody save me...."

It is not a cube. It is more like a dual-prisim. Steve has specially designed it to amplify his Reality Distortion Field. All future keynotes will be delivered from the cube.

I think it's pretty unimpressive that steve designed a cube...he probably should have left it to Ive and the boys to come up with a nicer cube. whatever....it's still a cube

this cube will sprout legs and walk around new york, screaming, "i am wheat thins!"

"What is it with Steve and cubes anyways?"

It's like the TMA monolith in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY -- simplicity of design, like all Apple creations. And if I'm remembering correctly, the alien artifact in the short story that inspired 2001 ("Sentinel") was not black, but clear crystal.

"Steve really, really likes his cube."

Umm, I think TUAW really, really likes his cube. You post about it thrice weekly.

I wonder what's NeXT?

I think Steve is secretly planning to slap a bigass NeXT-logo on it when it's done, and hook it up to some NeXT-gear and then have a really cool demo of how awesome NeXTstep Release 5 will be.
