Barcelona “La Maquinista” Apple Store Opening [Video]
Every Apple Store is an event. People waiting in queue for the whole night, discussing the latest Mac tips or Apple rumors together, Apple employees bringing them coffee and water to help them having a great experience. Even in queue. I would say, that is magical.
The good f0lks over at Bloc d’Apple en Català shot a great video of the latest Apple Store opening: La Maquinista in Barcelona, Spain.
A Sliding QWERTY Keyboard for the iPhone 4

Spring Is The Best Way To Access Formspring
There’s this neat web service called Formspring which lets people ask you questions - and of course allows you to answer them. All you have to do is sign up for an account, or connect using your Facebook profile. In fact, I remember the service being extremely popular amongst my Twitter followers a few months ago. Then I don’t know what happened, but the service slowly disappeared from my radar.
I think that the lack of an official iPhone client surely played its role in making users forget about Formspring, and Spring by Taptivate is here to solve this problem.
Ping: The Woz Approves
I don’t like Ping, but who am I to go against what the Woz says? After Wednesday’s Apple Music Event (where Steve Jobs surprisingly mentioned Wozniak by calling him his “partner in crime”) some journalists met the Woz and asked him a few questions about the stuff Jobs announced on stage.

Apple Will Provide Live Video Streaming of September 1 Event
Finally, the wait is over. Apple will provide a live stream of tomorrow’s music event: of course, we’ll be here ready to discuss everything with you.
This is something we’ve been looking forward to for a very long time, and my guess is that Steve Jobs wants bloggers to blog less at his keynotes using MiFis. Maybe. Maybe they just thought is was about time.
Anyway, the video stream will be available at apple.com tomorrow. Great news.
