OK, @tvaziri, please tell us how Apple spook-ified Johny Srouji‘s lab.

@jamesthomson @siracusa Instead of using rays of light, they used rays of dark.

Very disappointed that Srouji’s lab didn’t have a Jacob’s ladder. No respect for the classics.

@siracusa @tvaziri My theory is that it always looks like this. They unspookify it for all the other events.

@siracusa tipping my hat to that orange iMac in the corner. Very well-placed.

@siracusa didn’t you just loved that he called it “his” lab? I do, very much.

@siracusa @tvaziri They didn't, it came through the evil universe portal that way.

@b3ll @siracusa @tvaziri Their attention to detail is spectacular. Anyone remember the blue iMac during the Nov. 2020 introduction of M1?

@siracusa I see three Mac Studios, an original orange iMac!, and a mystery box—PC? Even Apple doesn't use Mac Pros :(

@siracusa @tvaziri Replaced every white table with a black table.
Replaced every chair/stool with a dark one.
The walls look darker too, but that could be lighting.

The floor is the same.
