Apple Computer is posting time-lapse movies of the first 24 hours of the exterior of their newly-opened Apple Store Fifth Avenue. At approximately 5:40am this morning, an ingenious man stood before the camera and – shades of Apple CEO Jobs’ fav Bob Dylan’s groundbreaking video for “Subterranean Homesick Blues” – held simple messages long enough to be easily read in the time-lapse footage:
The cards read “Uschi Lang. I love you. Will you marry me?”

To everybody that is putting this guy down, you just don’t get it.
This Apple Store, aqn APPLE STORE for crissakes, has become an instant landmark/destination, on the same scale as the glass pyramid at the Lourve.
As if Apple needed more brand recognition, this store is going to provide it in very large bucket loads. There isn’t anything Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett/Packard, Gateway, Sony, Toshiba, etc., can do that won’t be viewed as copycat and inferior.
This store is going to draw Windows users like a moth to a flame. The media is going to look for reason to do segments on it, and what they are going to write is how cool the store is, the number of tech support personnel on hand 24 HOURS PER DAY, and how wonderfully everything just seems to work.
The value of this store, to Apple Computer, is immeasureable.
haha that is neat. Maybe they’ll get married in the store itself?
Man, my hat’s off to this guy. His idea beats my marriage proposal to my wife several years ago. I had my wife see this article, and she thought it was absolutely sweet.
All I did was propose to her at the very spot where she first saw me. Nothin too fancy. Every marriage proposal is special, though, considering that you’re basically telling them that you want to be with them forever. It should be at least a little inventive.
To that guy, I say “You GO, dude!”. I hope she says yes!
gregg is rite
I say to the man…..RRRRUUUUNNNNNN!!!
best. apple. store. video. ever.
ps.
This is the first time i’ve ever told the mdn magic word, and hopefully the last: “husband”
Yeah, I’m with Realists on this one. Apple totally needs to work this into a commercial. “Apple. Making the impossible possible.”
Even today the store was PACKED with a line to get in.
Not that that didn’t stop me from coming home with a black MacBook today…
” You don’t know the history of Uschi Lang, I do! “
” You don’t know the history of Uschi Lang, I do! “
Ahh, the insecure people always make comments about the persons looks or appearance or speculate what sort of woman/man would go with them.
You are just supposed to notice the the act and the meaning. No one wants or needs your other comments.
They are negative and show you as a shallow person, with little feeling for your fellow man……

A few minutes later his lawyer had him hold up the obligatory pre-nup sign for her to look over as everyone knows that Uschi is a former model golddigger with a fake leg starving for publicity.
Holy crap, there are 495,000 Google references to Uschi including an SEC filing. That name sounds like she could be Superman’s girlfriend in a thrilling new Bavarian version. Clark Kent in lederhosen. The Daily Planet and Bier Garten.
Whereas I think the guy has to be given credit for…
a) figuring out the opportunity
b) getting up at 5am
c) standing there like a yutz, for minutes at time, with each sign
Good on him. Better a romantic fool with a dream than a cynic with a chip on your shoulder.
a) figuring out the opportunity

Wouldn’t it have been just as effective to ask her in person?
It’s like those idiots who peck out text messages on cellphones. You’re on a PHONE for crissakes! DIAL the thing and make a call!
Anyway, IMO if you’re distanced enough from someone that you need to propose via security camera, yikes. This is as romantic and gutsy as it is stupid. Why does the term “Vegas weekend marriage” come to mind?
” . . .than a cynic with a chip on your shoulder.”
Unless it’s those really tasty RUFFLES KC Masterpiece Mesquite BBQ Flavor Potato Chips. In that case, I’ll take cynic.
I know I’m a little late in getting into the conversation, but I said YES! It has been great reading all your comments…thanks for the good ones, and I got a laugh from the bad ones. =)
