Awesome stuff dude, very jealous. I need to pay a visit there sometimes soon...

 

[HBOC]

that is sweet. How does one get able to shop in the employee store? You have to know someone and be put on a list, like the Nike employee store?

Wow great stuff! And nice blog by the way.

Talk about a dream come true for visiting Apple campus.

It's almost as prestigious to see the dean of your college walking campus. Almost

 

[Abyssgh0st]

Wow, congrats! Totally jealous I would have totally followed him.

You just open the door and walk in.

The blog author states that he shopped in the Company Store, which is a retail store on the Apple campus that carries all sorts of Apple-branded swag in addition to the usual computers and software. Anyone can go in and purchase something there, though you do have to be an employee if you want a discount on anything.

 

[hpeezy]

yeah the 'company store' is open to the public

 

[Fast Shadow]

I had no idea that part of the Apple campus was open to the public. That's really unusual and very cool. I need to stop by there.

He still looks incredibly frail.

 

[zildjansg]

i envy you man!

 

[queshy]

Hahaha crazy. That's awesome, thanks for sharing!!

Yeah I thought that too. He looks very thin.

 

[DoFoT9]

farrrrrk man score 1 for you! when he comes to australia im gonna stalk him (Y)

 

[Kieranic]

You lucky bugger!
Honestly if I was you, I would say Hi. I don't think he'd mind saying Hi to an Apple Lover

The fact that you saw him is cool but remember at the end of the day he is just a regular guy

I don't think he is a regular guy.

 

[Keebler]

He still looks incredibly frail.

I noticed that too, but I'm not surprised. What he went through was devastating on the body and I've read that it can be tough for the body to absorb proper nutrients afterwards. Add that to the fact he and his wife are strict vegans and I would think he would be thin.

Cool article though. I think the geek in me would be awe struck too. I would have said something though....not slamming the OP in any way....I think I would have just been too giddy to not say anything.

thanks for sharing.

Okay.. I see the word 'Mothership', and immediately think of George Clinton and P-Funk. Then you say you saw Steve.. I can't picture him coming out of the Mothership with Clinton, unless he's going to be the new DiaperMan/Starchild (RIP, Garry Shider)..

Anywho, all sarcasm and joking aside, you should have asked him the proper way to hold the iPhone 4.. If he doesn't say, well.. like the kid wanting to know how many licks it takes to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop, 'the world will never know'..

BL.

Why the flip? Out of the iPhone 4 at Corporate also..

Great Post!

I have been to the Mother Ship a couple of times and it is always a treat. I ran into Steve at Peat's in Cuppertino once and he was very kind when I spoke. Just a "Hi Mr Jobs, I am a huge fan of your company's products!" to which he said thanks and shook my hand. Great day!
