Earlier this month Apple opened doors to its newest and largest store in London’s Covent Garden. We thought it was time to give the 10-year-old retail phenomenon a new look. Apple’s retail store sales for their most recent quarter were $2.58 billion. Each store brings in an average of $35.9 million in sales, which continue to rise as visitors continue to stream in.

Now this video ‘The secret mission of the terminator’ with great 3D effects is circulating on Chinese websites. In the video the terminator was on the mission of damaging Apple’s Beijing store. But it’s too hungry to move so it begged nearby with a ‘$ only’ plate. Finally it got a coin but the Coca cola vending machine threw out nothing after it put in the coin. Thanks to that the terminator didn’t have enough strength so it could only attack the store from distance and the big Apple logo was damaged.(Update: Garth Douglas is right, the machine the Terminator ...

(Aggregated from CrunchGear) An Apple Store Grows in Brooklyn from Marty Markowitz on Vimeo. Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn’s out-sized borough president, sent an email to Steve Jobs asking, in no uncertain terms, for an Apple store, probably down in Red Hook by the water or maybe in downtown Brooklyn or maybe Park Slope?

Mr. Bigshot Steve Jobs? Why not, you with all the money? Anyway, Marty prepared ...
Steve Jobs isn't known as a micro-manager...OK he totally is. But that wasn't the reason he and his family stopped by the local Apple Store yesterday. They just wanted to check out the scene and chat with some iPad buyers. In Palo Alto, Apple CEO Steve Jobs sauntered unannounced into the University Avenue store shortly before noon to drink in the scene. Many in the crowd pulled out cameras and iPhones to capture the most magic of Silicon Valley moments. Jobs chatted with a handful of other shoppers, but even his 30-minute invasion did not get in the way ...

It's not surprising at all that someone has already been sitting in front of the iconic 5th Avenue Apple Store in New York City. This video was posted this morning (April 1, 2010) and from the discussion with the person who is sitting there, he was in line yesterday. He kind of looks lonely, but if past practice is any indicator of the next few days, he'll make a lot of new friends as the line begins to grow in the hours leading up to 9 AM EDT on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010.

Apple revealed plans to open 25 Apple Stores in China during its annual shareholder meeting Thursday. The company didn't offer a timetable or specific locations for its stores, but it did specify that it would open 25 stores within the country, according to messages that were iPhoned out to Fortune reporter Philip Elmer-Dewitt. China is the world's biggest market, with more than a billion people, but it's a market where Apple has historically had little presence.
