<blockquote><p>According to the message, the cube-shaped building which is being constructed in New York City, on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in midtown Manhattan, is clearly meant to provoke Muslims.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>The Register</em> <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/10/11/apple_ny_store/">reports</a> </p>
<blockquote><p>Sadly, it&#8217;s a bit late for that, since the store opened for business back in May. We do have some good news, though. As far as we&#8217;re aware it&#8217;s not called the &#8220;Apple Mecca&#8221;, it does not serve alcoholic beverages, and neither Jack Straw nor Salman Rushdie work behind the counter.</p></blockquote>
