An Apple Store a Day Keeps the Muggers Away?



For those of you old enough to remember West Side Story, one of the gang members, in trying to understand why he ended up in a life of crime, came to the conclusion:
"We're depraved on account of we're deprived."


That may be true. And for all of you struggling to get by with just a PC, maybe it's your lack of a Mac that made you go bad...

STOCKTON, CA - Forbes Magazine, which earlier this year marked Stockton as the most miserable city in the country, has new data to share.

Forbes reports that eight of the "Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities" in the U.S., where Stockton is ranked 8, don't have Apple stores.

...The two cities on the top 10 list that do have Apple stores are Anchorage and Las Vegas.


Of course correlation does not equal causation. In this chicken and egg McMuffin comparison, it is likely that Apple simply tries not to locate their stores in higher crime areas.

Still, it is amusing to consider the possibility that PC users turn to crime for wont of an iPad!
