The rumour that Apple was building their largest retail store in New York’s Grand Central Terminal was always a little odd. Where would it all go? Why there? Aren’t there rules against altering landmarks? In any case, a source close to the MTA has confirmed to BetaBeat that Apple has backed out of its preliminary plans. Guess Manhattan will have to wait a bit to get their fifth Apple Store. [BetaBeat]

Oh, did I mention Apple invented the train as well?,…

Monday, March 21, 2011 at 8:22 PMBuilding an Apple Store in one of NYC’s most notable landmarks is horrifying. Didn’t Apple have a 1984 theme for their marketing some decades ago?
Yeah. Steve Jobs’s mug looking down on you from 3 story window screens is any less unsettling.
