On October 10, 2006, an Islamic website posted a message alerting Muslims to what it claims is a new insult to Islam. According to the message, the cube-shaped building which is being constructed in New York City, on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in midtown Manhattan, is clearly meant to provoke Muslims. The fact that the building resembles the Ka’ba (see picture below), is called “Apple Mecca,” is intended to be open 24 hours a day like the Ka’ba, and moreover, contains bars selling alcoholic beverages, constitutes a blatant insult to Islam. The message urges Muslims to spread this alert, in hope that “Muslims will be able to stop the project.”

Re: Apple's "Mecca Project" Provokes Muslim Reaction
another great example of narrow mindness! Why do muslims even let lil things like this bother them? Dont we have anything better to do and gossip and try and link every development as a consiparcy against muslims. URRgggHhhhh

** Some muslims just like to make up stories. **If anything, this is a pretty cool tribute to the kaaba.
Because it gives us something to talk about and those who like to cause problems can then utilize it for their entertainment.
Besides Apple seems pretty creative. I'm sure Makkah is not what they had in mind. I'm sure they're not interested in having Muslims stone/torch the building.

Great Example of Broad Mindness. Haha Kaba ky model main shrab bychny ky irady ho rahy hain or main sirf Hazrat Abdul Mutalin ky alfaz yad kr rahi hon jab Abraha ky lashkar ny hamla kia tha ky, " Yeh ont mery hain mujhy in ki fikar hy. Kaba Allah ka ghar hy or Allah apny ghar ki hifazat khud kry ga." So if it hurts Allah beleive me We don’t need to do any thing Allah will take car eof every thing and Duniya dykhy gi :insha: Yeh mera Iman hy.

The glass is transparent actually. I think that’s how it looked when it was under construction. That picture in the first post was taken sometime in April. Here’s theoriginal link.
This is how it looks now after its opening on 19 May '06:
