Apple Experience Center at Peking University riles students

When are American companies gonna learn Commie brain works differently. That's why they are stuck in the Third World.

I am an amateur Apple evangalist/Mac fanboy.

But I agree that this is a poorly thought out publicity stunt,
I hope that the school/library negotiated a stiff fee for the use of scarce resources.

And I share the opinion that a library, above all other buildings in the world, is a sacred place!

If I was forced to choose between computers and books, computers would lose everytime.

Everyone knows you only hang out at the library to meet chicks, and studies show that Apple customers get laid more. Suck it up guys, Apple is trying to help you out.

Think they'd be ok with it if they were selling rice?

Sacred place... haha.

"It's totally against the spirit and environment of the library," said one student. "Apple should have discounts or give-back activities if they want self-promotion, other than introducing this commercial thing into a sacred place like this."

AHAHAHAHA... So violating the "sacred place" is okay if there is a discount?

"It's totally against the spirit and environment of the library,"

Library? I remember those from back in the day... They had these primitive e-readers and computers called *books*. I know! it's hard to imagine! They were heavy, made out of something called "paper" and were incredibly thick compared to an iPad. Because they were so thick, libraries could only carry a few thousand books.

What's that? You say an iPad or laptop can hold millions of ebooks in a small corner of their hard drives and still have plenty of room for music and other stuff? Yes, I know, I know. But some people insist on reading archaic technology like books in the 21st century because it makes them feel smart, no matter how inefficient real books actually are...

Now thats a bad move on Apple's part as anyone who works in education knows that the library and study areas are sort of sacred ground you don't take it away from them............don't they have a main concourse at Peking University..........Mao must be spinning in his grave..........oooh wait he's not in a grave........
