Apple is expected to open a of the Apple Store Walnut Creek over the weekend as well as brief report:
"Overall, a very nice experience -- I'd recommend at least once in your life experiencing the 'coolness' of a new store, as well as that hey-we're-400th-in- line-chatting-with-a-stranger-yet-also-fellow-Mac-enthusiast feeling. It felt like lining up for a rock concert (and everyone gets to wear the t-shirt the next day). This Apple Store is pristine, very hands-on, and just had that exciting "1st Day / 1st Hour" feel filled with people who you knew were there for more than just a free t-shirt.
"I think my favorite things were the inclusion of the new iSight cameras activated in various corners of the store (and roaming atop powerbooks, too), the iPod / iTunes Music Store displays, and also the prevalence of dozens of (extra) employees -- many from other stores were there to help -- who really made an increased support presence and feeling of community throughout the store."

New Genius Bar design
This store shows an update to the wall graphics behind the Genius Bar. Instead of static photographs, it looks like Apple is now putting large, flat panel displays behind the Bar. Does it say, "Quick Tip"? Maybe these displays show a changing stream of various messages. Cool!
