imagine what iTunes would be like if they put that much attention into it.
Got a tip for us?

The abundant amount of white-oak tables which don't pass our extreme quality control are diverted to huge grinders that spew out pulp to make our new Apple Store paper bags.

Sorry for my ignorance... I just have no idea how huge corporations work. Microsoft has 40,000 employees at their Redmond campus. It boggles the mind.
Many times, they don't (work). /s &
Wernher von Braun was interviewed on TV in the 1970s and said he loathed English units and never used them. Is your moon landing now forever tainted?

The Apollo Guidance Computer stored data internally in metric units,but displayed them as United States customary units.

It’s useful that we have both systems, very useful. Metres for accuracy and being able to manipulate figures and feet for being able to estimate at these sizes.
We could easily spin this around. Suppose a German manufacturer specified tables that were 5m x 1m and 275Kg. We’d then be able to make seemingly justifiable negative statements about the imperial system as we’d otherwise have to say those were 16’4.8” x 3’3.4” and 605.73lb

It would be a non-story even if Apple were the first to do such a thing...
I hate that style ... Too noisy in my case. The guy left drink "loud"; the other guy eat his gum with open mouth; the meeting tables nearby used for conference calls ... And less space to really have some focusing silence. When I wear my headset and try to cover with music it looks bad too (but for my own mental sanity I still do that). Not fun or match for me.
A mix of single booth and open space would do it.
Or people could just use proper rounding.
That's how it's done today. I can pretty much guarantee that Apple didn't order a table that is 18 feet long and 4 feet wide. That table is 5.5 meter long, 1.2 meter wide and weighs 300 kg.
It's a US article about US company, written to be read and understood by MacRumor readers worldwide!
These tables suck, they take up too much room in store and 90% of the space isn't used on them. So all that happens is you have people crammed into the sides of the store and getting in eachothers way.
Yes, lets use the non-metric system for readers in US, Liberia and Myanmar and let the rest of the world guess what you guys are talking about! Good idea.
What possible interest is this piece to ANYONE truthfully?!?!??!
That comment was probably as cruel and unfair as fun and very much understandable. +1 to you!

In this particular case no-one really cares anyway, but you are right.

...to say the least! I had to read it twiceHaha
Bad translation? false friends? subliminal reference to Disney and the Neuschwanstein Castle?I actually work in an open plan office. We all manage to concentrate and do our work - I'm sure Apple employees will be able to, as well. It helps if you enjoy what you do and want to work on it.
When you're the richest business in America, you can lavish on over-engineered and exorbitantly produced erstwhile ordinary items for which the military would have been castigated for acquiring.
Yes, let us be pushed around by dumbasses around the world. The writers are based in the United States of America. The vast majority of readers here are likely from the United States of America. They'll use imperial units.
And I think the greatest and most powerful nation on Earth will do as it pleases.
Hahaha sarcasm detected (i hope)
Why don't we just all use the units we like and let everybody else do their thing. Maybe one day there will be a consent to use a single system but i think until that day we all have bigger issues (including the greatest and most powerful nation on Earth)
I'm having a quite hard time to figure out if you are serious or being sarcastic!! It have to be the latest... !!!
