Line forms at Apple store for no reason

Nothing has been said. No one actually knows what is coming. They wait because they are the devoted. These people know that Apple is going to deliver on their promise, even if they have no idea what the promise is. The love for a brand is complicated.

“So word on the street (literally) is that a large number of people are queuing in line outside of Apple’s flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York City (see above) — keep in mind the Cube is open 24 hours a day. Our intrepid girl-on-the-scene reports that the group is more than 60-deep, though most people seem confused about what they’re waiting for, while some believe they’re actually camping out for a 3G iPhone. Meanwhile, Apple reps tell us they’re crowd-controlling iPhone buyers because otherwise they would be “screaming” at employees and clogging up the store. See what happens when you get short on stock? More pics after the break."
