    White iphone4 is indeed very nice but smashing the window for not letting them in is just too far.

    All that for the white iphone 4? Apple enthusiasts are kind of nutty. Well after smashing the glass window, I'm not surprised Apple isn't paying for medical expenses.

    Edit: This isn't the first time the Apple window has been smashed either. You'd think they'd learn an install some better windows.

    Those people had it coming, I hate people like them buying products at retail price and re-selling them back out for double sometimes triple its price.

    You know, not for nothing, but Apple really has a lot to learn about crowd behavior and control. Given that their location is the "hot item" central of the day, it really doesn't matter who, what, or when; but the crowds that gather there, would make the storming of the Bastille seem rather quaint. Apple should have easily foreseen this, and made their offering either by mail, or by appointment only. To put an attractive "starting gate" for thousands to gather (simply for the press value, as in "See? Look how long they're willing to wait for our wonderful product") is seriously inviting trouble. :facepalm:

    Further, IMHO, municipalities the world over, should invoke civil laws to prevent companies from causing such public disturbances if they don't have enough security on hand.
