As if Apple weren't having enough issues, now this incident. Perfect illustration of the current Apple story. People want the products so much that they are willing to steal them yet, at the same time, there is a growing backlash against the pricing, closed system and more that the company has enforced on its consumers almost since the beginning of its existence. This approach is not working so much in the SmartPower era where people want to be treated more fairly and create less top-down relationships from companies. Be forewarned. This is only the beginning. Watch in the future how this mindset will mean that no one company controls markets share for decades like before. That power will shift and move at a very rapid pace given consumer power and collective decision. Tipping point over, long-live the re-defined SmartPower version of hierarchy. You heard it hear first. In the meantime, wonder who is getting all that free product!!!???
Four armed robbers hit the Apple Store in central Paris on New Year's Eve. The robbers stole $1.3 million of Apple goods. Police say that the heist was extremely well-organized. The robbers entered through a service entrance into the store, which had closed for the day. They then went to the basement storeroom to acquire the Apple goods, leaving all the display products in the store alone. Looks like this is the holiday that keeps on giving. Let's see what Apple fanboys and fangirls, alike, think.
