Reader Anders sent us photographs of workers busily getting the Apple Store cube at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street ready. We expect it will be ready for people to supplicate by the weekend.

Is that the Gothamist Truck in the background of the second photo?
( ^-^)
Good eyes! But we only have a pushcart for deliveries.
This cube looks like the Ka'bah in Mecca. Will 59th and 5th become the new Macca for Apple enthusiasts? Will there be pilgrimages by macolytes to the new cube?
Obviously written by a PC user (I have insider info).
im pretty sure its going to be more like hell than mecca. i wonder what the crowds are going to be like at this place. can you even imagine trying to get some service?
"im pretty sure its going to be more like hell than mecca."
120 degree temperatures, a million people running around throwing stones at rock pillars, 100 to 1,000 or so crushed to death in yearly stampedes and if they find you they behead you for being of a different religion. Sounds like hell to me.
That part of town blows. Between the smell of horse manure, and the vendors, and the tourists, it's a nightmare.
Steven Jobs finally gets his cube!
About time we got another Apple store in nyc. The Soho one is great but it's more packed than Trader Joe's.
Next stop Brooklyn?
Like next as in NeXT?
Yeah bring it on to Brooklyn! Screw Ratnerville, just plop a big ass cube down over those railyards.
Does this thing look big enough for a store or is it sitting on top of a building? I can't quit tell. Mayber there is a basement? Don't know.
The Cube will be the entrance to the Apple Store with a glass staircase leading down to basement level. I would imagine there will also be a glass elevator for wheelchair access.
24/7? Are they going to have an all night cafe? Or do they expect people to be buying iMacs at 3am?
It's New York! Of course you can buy iMacs at 3am. This ain't no Jersey mall, y'know. ;-)
Somebody says chalk.
Can you imagine the crowd? I mean, the tourists? And even worse, the fifth avenue and park avenue self-important money-coming-out-of-every-orifice priggs who will be seeking Genius bar service there?
Lordy! I won't be going anywhere near that thing!
It does kind of inspire daydreams of it being beamed up into a UFO or something Mars Attack-y.
Whoever hangs out around a Mac store past midnight should be beaten severely and have the word ‘LOSER’ branded to their foreheads.
I say this being a Mac user myself.
Get a life people.
The mac geniuses (genii?) in Indy were kind enough to keep the bar open until almost 11 pm as they resuscitated my powerbook.
So unless your laptop is dead on the table and brought back to life, don't underestimate the healing the power of the genius bar -- especially near the witching hour.
If you're listening, thanks again Indy Genii ... whoever you are!
So, when Steve dies, will he be embalmed and installed permanently under the cube, in a sort of techie cult of personality turn, a la Vova Lenin?
That is one ugly building. It doesn't fit in with the surroundings at all. Apple could have done better than that!
i can't believe no one has mentioned the borg!
I'm so excited I could just wet myself!
When do the Borgs come out of it?
"That is one ugly building. It doesn't fit in with the surroundings at all. Apple could have done better than that!"
This is a store selling products made by Apple Computer, not Dell or HP or some other nonsense. Apple doesn't fallow standards, it makes them only for them to be badly emulated by others.
Anywho... that looks pretty cool.
I am glad that the building was not built in Chelsea.
Then I would be forced to look at that retail cube all the time.
Truly Corporate Ugly and People Unfriendly.
Dehumanizing.
NOTICE TO WINDOWS USERS: YOU WILL NOT BE ASSIMILATED. YOU'RE BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS IS INFERIOR TO OUR OWN. RESISTANCE IS SILLY.
are we really this dorky?
eh, screw it. Go Steve!
I used to work as an Apple Specialist in NYC. Foriegners used to come and buy Apple products all the time because they were so expensive in foriegn countries. They would just throw out the box and say they brought it with them to avoid any duty tax. They are going to sell TONS of laptops and iPods to tourists with more money than they know what to do with at this location.
I can 't wait to go. PC's suck What a pc can a a mac can do better
They should have a coffee shop in the store... books a millios has a coofee shop, and Apple should have one also.
The secret behind the new Apple store is revealed at Funny.com:

I guess black is the new white for macs, with the new black ibook - the black cube - what will be next?
i know it's too late...to khafir,well u shouldnt insult ppl who happens to have different beliefs and refer to them as stupid persons...and i cant talk back with the same way cause it's not right to insult ppl because of their religion...and ur being discriminating...and by the way talking about weather in mecca is so lame
"It is a high form of doing good to others to ignore some of their faults or improprieties or bad manners, to tolerate their imperfections. Prying or spying into others' affairs and finding fault is rudeness and incivility, publicizing such affairs here and there is an unforgivable fault, and declaring them to the others' face is a severe blow to the bonds of unity between people, a blow from which, sadly, it is almost impossible for friendship to recover fully."
if apple really ment to build this building like the ka'ba then apple will be a great loser many muslims buy apple products and with boycotting all its product it will be a great loos for apple. it's real beleive it or not, u will gonna loose a loooooooot

stupid idea
apple isn't declaring war to muslims but to GOD himself
as my brother mohamed said
you're gonna loose a looooooooooot
wait, so this is just a building for apple items????
You will pay for building this.
A Muslim
You will pay for it inshallah. Because you people are declaring war not only against muslims but against God himslef. Allah punishes those who forbid him and this is the case now a days with you people.
well if its a computer store, and it resembles the Makkah thats ok. Its just an artist taking inspiration. In today's polarized world I see even on this page some folks making insults to Islam and then some Muslims who fire threats back. Sheesh!

you can do nothing with 'THE HOLY kaaba'.AND what you are trying to do...you will never be able to do it inshallah!it is an announcement of war against the whole muslim world and ALLAH ALMIGHTY will punish you in such a way that you will never be able to stand,but totally destroyed inshallah.so stop stop stop it.....!and never challange muslims and ALLAH

soon u will be lost everything bcoz u r declairing the war to god. Inshallah one moment will come and distroy your every bad planning against muslims.
Again i realy warn u and stop all these nonsense right now......
This is my cours that this building will distroy sooooon and god is with me and he will fullfill my desires sooooon.
yah allah please distroy this building very soooon.
hope whoeva was involved in making such a building which insults islam dies a bad death and is punished in hell for eva fu*kin wa*kers
hope whoeva made dis or was invovled in makin a insult to islam dies a bad death and is punished in hell for eva da f*kin w*nkers
Whoever has laid his/her hands to build this cube and insult the billions of muslims in this world by calling it "Mecca" will definetely ROT IN HELL.ALLAH WILL NEVER FORGIVE FOR SUCH AN ACT.
These Apple people have gone mad/crazy and need to use common sense which unfortunately seems to be rare in the architects/master minds behind this innovation. What does one get by hurting other feelings?. This to me is totally insanse and in appropiate and US goverment should immediatly take a strict notice of this non-sense and punish the culprits who seem to be enjoying playing with emotions of all the muslims all over the world.
No one has any right to make mockery of other's religion. Creating Cartoons, Coca Cola and now This Apple nonsense is only leading one to the extreme fires of Jahanum.
Wake up insane people and start using brains, Islam is the way, thats the right path. Adapt it and leave insanity, Allah loves to forgive for stupidness of his man kind, only if you ask him to :)
Lets live in peace and not smash each other emotions and make mockery of each other religion.
Being a muslim, I am saddened that there is so much outrage over a black square building.
Don't we have much more pressing things to worry about?
There is muslim on muslim violence, poverty and illiteracy rampant in our societies. Yet we choose to focus on something as inconsquential as this?
Do you really think they tried to copy the Kaaba on purpose? If you do, you are brainwashed!Stop listening to the mullahs and start thinking for yourself.
Wake up people.
buildin a store like a cube doesnt denote or connote tht its ka'baa
giving the name mecca to a store even doesnt mean its mecca.
oks!
cox the cube shape doesnt belong to mecca
do pentagon shape belongs to pentagon?
mecca means " a place that attracts a lot of visitors"
and wot im going to tell u is that tht apple mecca doesnt resemble ka'bah
n thts not a nice way to advertise yr store spreadin such rumours.
do find sumother way..
u americans or anyother anti-muslim nations can du nothing to our holy house. it will be under the protection of "the one and only god".
u can du nuthin eva n neva.
