Apple posts pics of Macbook winners
As part of the festivities surrounding the opening of the Fifth Avenue Apple Store in NYC (are you sick of hearing about it yet?), Apple gave away a bunch of MacBook. Here is a gallery of some of the winners. Don't they look so happy? Don't you feel so envious? So do we. Congratulations, folks.

Oleg slipped in the line behind me. The world is so unfair. I've waited for 2 1/2 hours, Oleg waited 1/2 hour. Who got the IBook?

Of course, that's New York I guess. Still, there must have been a bouncer at the door, and the contest was rigged. Looks like if you are mexican you can still win.
Also,
A Beat-Red Zip-Up Turtle Neck Sweater w/Brown Sportscoat. What a tool...
You'd think Oleg could manage a smile. I mean jeeze, a free MacBook? I'd be all grins.
umijin - It's a slow news week, and the NYC flagship store is probably the biggest news in the Apple retail experiment in the last year or so, so that's why you're hearing all about it. On a related note, I wonder how much Apple news I think is relevant, simply because I live in California.
umijin,
you should care because this is really good and great too
I think most of us are just sick of hearing about this New York store period. I mean, if you live out side of the city or even the state - WHO CARES?

What happened to Leonardo Decaprio?

As to why they only have 8 pictures up there...you did not need to be present to win. They will notify the winner if not present within 10 days. I'm sure they will post more as more people come to pick up their prize.
You have to have to let your picture up there. By entering the contest, you agree to let Apple use your likeness for promotional purposes.
