Apple’s battle with Epic is a reminder that today’s tech companies behave like 19th-century monopolists. Installing democratic control over these modern throwbacks to Gilded Age robber barons is the only way to curb their power.
lol, I used to work there. I sold David Blaine an iPhone 3G standing under that thing. I saw Seal climb up on a display case and sing Kiss From A Rose (and hype up a huge crowd) 3 times in a row until we had to make him stop. I sold Eddie Izzard 3 pairs of the same shitty Skullbocks headphones that kept breaking, but he refused to buy a better pair because he really liked them. I got Jonathan Groff’s phone number at the genius bar. He was wearing an Epcot T-shirt, and I had no idea who he was.

Working there was fucking wild.
