Are You Going to Wait in Line for the iPhone 5?

Will you be outside an Apple Store waiting for the new smart phone?

People in New York have already started waiting in line just to get their hands on the iPhone 5. The Apple fanatics have been camped outside the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue eight days before Apple and other retailers will sell the iPhone 5, Fortune reports.

Pre-orders sold out in just one hour, with 23 iPhones purchased every second for a total of 2 million sold, according to CNET

Though there are several other retailers, like Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Radioshack and BestBuy, that are selling the phone, the hype is definitely around the Apple stores themselves.

Here is a list of Apple Stores in the San Francisco Peninsula, in case you won't be around Burlingame:

  • Palo Alto, 451 University Avenue; (650) 617-9000
  • Stanford Shopping Center, 183 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto; (650) 798-6180  
  • Burlingame, 1301 Burlingame Avenue; (650) 340-1167
  • Hillsdale Shopping Center, 340 Hillsdale shopping center, San Mateo; (650) 645-4800
  • San Francisco, 1 Stockton Street; (415) 392-0202

They want your credit card information to process an order that's free. Sorry, that's not going toRead More happen. Call me paranoid, but is that just an oversight or is it their way of tracking their customer's buying habits? I like my privacy, how about you?

Who will respond to emergencies at Hoover School? I measured the width of the two small bridgesRead More near the bottom of Canyon Road today. One is 17’ 10” and the other is 18’. Emergency response vehicles are 10’ wide, landscape pickup trucks are 8 feet wide and SUVs are 7’ feet wide. Consider what will happen every school day when children are dropped off at school. Traffic will stop on these two bridges and no emergency vehicles will be able to pass. This will happen every school day, twice a day even when there isn’t an emergency. Consider what will happen during any real emergency. The school is located near the San Andreas Fault. Two 30” high pressure gas mains are even closer. The fire department plans to close the fire house on Hillside near the Hoover School. Who will respond to emergencies at Hoover School? How will responders get to the school?

Has anyone read the safety/disaster plan for Hoover School? The fire department admitted that theyRead More did not take Hoover School into account in the EXPENSIVE consolidation study they commissioned. On April 9th, 2013 I attended a Burlingame City meeting on fire department consolidation . The fire department has paid for a study that recommends closing the fire house on Hillside. They plan to build a new station near Trousdale on Skyline in close proximity to two 30” high pressure gas mains (http://www.pge.com/myhome/edusafety/systemworks/gas/transmissionpipelines/) and within half a mile of the San Andreas Fault.
