<p>Simply brilliant. The guys at The Onion have done it again. The satirical online news network announces the &#8220;<a href="http://switchtomac.com/blog/mac-life/the-onion-have-an-apple-store-in-your-own-home-with-the-istore/">Apple Friend Bar</a>&#8221; in a rather amusing <a href="http://www.theonion.com/video/new-apple-friend-bar-gives-customers-someone-to-ta,17693/">video short</a>. The friend bar is a place where &#8220;obsessive Apple users&#8221; can go to find someone to &#8220;talk at&#8221;.</p>
<p>The report also mentions the upcoming in-home Apple store called the iStore to be available for only $6000. The video (shown below) puts into perspective beautifully the mannerisms of the Apple &#8220;fan boy&#8221;. Hey, if you can&#8217;t have a good laugh at yourself, it may be time to lighten up.</p>
