Angela Ahrendts, new Apple Senior VP of Retail and Online Stores is from New Palestine, Indiana and is a Ball State graduate.
This will be a huge bonus for Ball State.
She was previously CEO at Burberry and bought Reggie Miller's house on Geist a few years ago.
It sounds like her husband and kids might live in the Geist house from this line in the Marie Claire article:
"The couple had a long-distance relationship for 17 years while Ahrendts lived and worked in Manhattan and Gregg stayed in Indianapolis."
Hopefully, Indianapolis will get a new Apple Store now!
We got a Burberry store when she bought Reggie's house.

Gauging iPhone 5c demand
Could demand for the 5c be lower than Apple had hoped? It's certainly possible. But there's no way to tell for sure right now. And it's equally possible that the 5c's availability is a function of Apple's ability to manufacture enough units of it to maintain a plentiful supply in the face of strong demand.
