FAO Schwartz is NOT across the street, it's directly behind and to the right of the Apple Store...

Apple is actually a very primitive-thinking company. They just want things that look nice and are attractive.
It's on the cutting edge, yet the intention is very primitive - to attract based on beauty and quality.

It's a "RADICAL NEW DESIGN!!!"

Really? When did you get a sneak peek at it? A drawing of what it should look like does not count.
I believe NYPD has orders to shoot on site when it comes to protecting the Apple store.
maybe it was for practical reasons
Even though the individual glass panels were probably easier to manufacture, one would assume they are likely to lose their sealant over time on the edges, or be more likely to fall out of their metal braces over time ( many years I mean )
I wonder if doing this is actually not just about hubris.

This was the opinion of nearly all at Apple according to the Steve Jobs bio, but in the last year of his life Steve, as always, overruled them all. I personally think the old look was better, like a faceted jewel.
In this case I don't think it will... lets see the nighttime shots side by side tomorrow and see if you still think the new look is better.
IDK... there's something about the way Steve Jobs will be removed as the cube is unveiled that I don't like.
If you're tired of seeing that same old photo of Jobs on posts, books, tributes, shopping bags, avatars, ... vote this post up!
Steve is gone, move on.
Don't ask WWSD (What Would Steve Do), instead ask WSAD (What Should Apple Do). As time goes on, the answers to those two questions will seriously diverge - and only the answer to WSAD is the right one.

Apple Store 5th Avenue S
No. FAO Schwarz is on the exact same block; the entrance is only steps away from the cube.
The San Remo building is in the Upper West Side, about fifteen blocks up and on the opposite side of Central Park.

Wouldn't the easiest deterrent be to just set up a portable shower out front? It would certainly see off the odiferous copycats that Brisbane has just sent packing.
Insightful
For some reason, I really can't wait to see the new cube.
me as well- I was always a fan.
Kind of like the powermac g4 cube!
Looks just like the evil villan in the last James Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan.
On another topic, don't lots of guys look up the skirts of girls with that glass stair case and elevator? There's a good reason why stair cases are not see-through.
