Video Report Highlights Anonymous Apple Store Workers

Video Report Highlights Anonymous Apple Store Workers

by , 9:30 AM EST, December 26th, 2007

BusinessWeek has published an online video report that highlights not the beautiful interiors of Apple's new New York City store, but rather one of the anonymous workers that helped make the building ready for prime time.

While much attention has long been given to the look and feel of Apple's fleet of retail stores, few mainstream stories have cared much about the tradesmen who work to produce that look and feel, and we thought you'd find that interesting.

Ironically, perhaps, the sponsor of the video segment is Microsoft's Windows Mobile cell phone operating system.

You can play the video if you click the link to the Business Week site. The video image above doesn't function, though.

The above says "a screenshot from the video." It's just a screenshot. Whoever said "It will play," it's not true.
