Headlines that include the word "Apple" for no reason are much cooler than headlines that don't
- erikpukinskis 8y agoIs there another computer hardware store you think would be a better comparison?
- jaabe 8y agoI think the point might be that you don’t need to trash something else just to say the Pi store is cool. I personally think the comparison is silly. Because you get to play around in the Pi store I think it’s much more similar to a games-workshop or board game store than an Apple store. Even if the aesthetics are similar to the latter.
- darkpuma 8y agoMicrosoft has stores now too, don't they? But the apple store comparison is probably more appropriate.
- setr 8y agoThey failed to even make the comparison beyond the headline, and oddly, don’t really say anything about how the raspberry store is cool... just that it (might) make sense, contrary to popular intuition
- User23 8y agoAs far as I know since the demise of Radio Shack, Fry's is the only hardware enthusiast shop with a real retail presence.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoAlso Microcenter
- Arn_Thor 8y agoLiterally any tech brand or concept store. Samsung, Microsoft, Xiaomi just off the top of my head. A comparison to anything is not made anywhere in the article. It's literally just a clickbait title
- earenndil 8y agoNot that I'm defending the title, but would "the Raspberry Pi store is much cooler than a Samsung Store" sound better? No, because samsung stores are far less common and iconic.
- darkpuma 8y agoAlso that would sound like damning with faint praise.

- sangnoir 8y ago> feint Incorrect - it's not damning with fake praise - it's damning with super-light praise; the implication being the subject of 'praise' is not that great. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/damn_with_faint_praise https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/damn_with_faint_praise

- rusk 8y agoFor some strange reason, paper with light lines on it is called feint ruled which is the source of my confusion going all the way back to my school days ... but every day is a school day, evidently.
