Now Apple Will Clothe You
According to ifoapplestore. Apple will be selling logo merchandise this fall. You know; shirts, hats, golf balls that sort of thing. So now you can display your Apple love for probably only double what the items would usually cost and without going to this extreme. (Those folks are taking zealotry to the next level)

woohoo! Dell kept sending me caps and stuff in my last job - like I was gunna be a walking ad for them?! But an Apple cap - no worries. I’m in.
I wonder if a shirt made of brushed metal is really all that comfortable.
That’s what everbody says, the 98% who refuse to even try a brushed metal shirt. The truth is that the shirts don’t fade or stain and hold their value much longer. Plus they are perforated so they breathe well.
To be honest, it’s the brushed metal T-shirt zealots that really turn me off. They’re always telling me to “just get a brushed metal shirt; cotton is for the drones!” and “I wear polyester shirts to work but I just can’t wait to get home and put on my smooth brushed metal wear.” It’s like a broken record with these people.
That will all change once apple moves from aluminium tags to cloth tags. The shirts will be cheaper and even businesses will be buying them.
You forget though that the cloth tags are actually more expensive to produce and won’t really affect the price either way. Besides, the brushed metal t-shirts are not only more expensive but would force businesses to buy a whole new matching wardrobe.
On a side note, can you imagine if Apple released a black turtle neck and jeans? The Steve Jobs signiture collection! They’d sell out in ten minutes.
Inside info tells me that Steve Jobs left the Gaps board of Directors not because of the oft reported reasons but rather because the rest of the board was tired of his incessant prodding that every single year be declared “year of the turtleneck”
According to Appleinsider, they also weren’t too thrilled when he would walk up and down the factory floor in Indonesia telling all the children working there that the jeans had to be “insanely great.”
Ah yes, and who can forget the time he pulled that six year old Indonesian girl aside and screamed “All child laborers have tiny nimble fingers, real child laborers SHIP!”
That reminds me of that story in I-con about Meeka, the 6 year old Indonesian girl in charge of the new cargo-pants project, code-named “Cheetah.”
She says, “We were busy trying to figure out how to add another pocket to the pants, while Steve was working on the button-fly project. Then Gap killed the button-fly jeans and Steve just took over cargo-pants and started yelling at everyone to Think Different. I thought to myself, this isn’t worth the 35 cents a day they’re paying me. And then I found out that Steve was only making $1 a YEAR. I stopped complaining right away and got in line with Steve’s way of doing it.”
Very funny Beeb, you win, I’m tapped out.
