You know, I didn't think of that until now.
The same way that Steve was able to say that "such a person" would spend no
more time in the Apple store than did the actress when there is no evidence
to show she went into the store at all!

False, there is evidence she went in. The shot I saw (that Alan linked
to) shows her walking into the direction of the door of the store, to
the point where she would have had to break her final stride to not
cross the threshold... and I don't believe that's what happened. If
you feel you can prove she didn't cross the threshold but instead
immediately turned before crossing it and never did go in, feel free
to do so. Further... I don't buy the "proof" the bloggers claim as
proof. How long would it take her to see that there are no 17"
laptops in her price range? If she walked in and there was a sales
person right there to ask... it would literally take all of a few
seconds... (granted, if the person was you it might take a few hours
for you to figure things out;) As Tim Murray points out... it doesn't
matter if the two men in the shot are plants, film crew or whatever...
they are definitely not proof she didn't go in. In any event, it's an
*AD* fer crissakes... far more important is the message here... it
takes a good shot at Apple in a market area they don't touch.

Since when are TV commercials not staged? Are the facts presents in
the commercial not correct?

Gotta love Steve's "logic"... "yes" he says, "there is evidence she went
in". His evidence: he does not believe she did not. LOL! Look at the link
posted at the start of this thread. Look at the label on the movie:

Watch Lauren never really enter the Apple Store.

What about this confuses Steve? Ah, Steve is just playing an idiotic
semantic game: if she walked to the door and then turned around, as has been
suggested, she *at best* made it to the doorway and no further... something
that could only be said to have going into a store by the most pedantic of
people. There is *no* evidence she was, *in* the store in any meaningful
sense. I frankly do not care if she turned around right before or right
after the doorway. But Steve does not stop there: he claims that this act
of going "in" the store, which he makes clear he has no reason to think she
did in any meaningful sense, is as much as "such a person" would spend in an
Apple store.

But Steve has *another* version of his story... one not dependent on her
stride. He says she walked in, found a sales person, asked if there was a
17 inch notebook for $1000 dollars, was told there was not and, presumably,
that there was another notebook in that price range, and then she did not
even look at it! Of course, Steve also has to spew his normal arbitrary
insults, claiming that while this apparent novice could do so in mere
seconds, someone who knows about computers might take hours to get that same
info. Yeah, yeah, I know: Steve will say it is not just any person who
knows about computers, but a specific person he blames for his girlfriend
dumping him in 2004.

Whatever. He has no reason or logic or thought behind his comments... just
an emotional reaction to lash out against anything I say.
