New teen hangout?

Malt shops, roller rinks, malls…they’ve all had their moments in the teen universe as popular hangouts.
So, tell me exactly when the Apple Store became a hangout?!
And a hangout for pre-pubescent girls, no less? Every one of which was on their MySpace, except for the gaggle of girls huddling around one Mac with a webcam.
I guess I’m showing my age by expressing my surprise at this development.
Now, I realize that this was an Apple Store in an Orange County mall – and everything is so chichi in the OC. But I’m still blown away…
