Looks as cold and boring as any other Apple Store.

It looks almost as empty as the Microsoft store at Tysons Corner in Virginia.

Sad dude, hope it is not a reflection of your life.

The previous Stanford Shopping Center Apple Store was in the middle of the mall, thus making it one of the longest walks from parking lot to store, regardless of which parking lot one parked at. The new Apple Store appears to be much closer to one of the parking lots, thus arriving at the store after parking will seem snappier.

But it's not open yet with no product inside. Just wait until it opens, it will be just as packed as most Apple Stores.

Microsoft Store should be happy

The huge Microsoft store, almost next door to the tiny existing Apple store, will no longer feel so inferior as it will be harder to compare the sparse crowds at MS to the overflow crowds at Apple.

It's missing the people. And even if it was empty on opening day (which it certainly won't be [according to analysts ]), the employees there make it much less cold and boring methinks.

Right on. There are some Apple stores, inside gorgeous buildings, especially in some European cities.
Bordeaux, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Torino, and especially London and Paris, to name a few, come to mind.

...and since the first thing people do when they get to the store is go to a device and open a web page, they have in essence made Safari snappier. Brilliant!
