      When I was working in Suzhou, China in Jan '11 some colleagues and I went into an Apple store around the corner from the hotel. We concluded that it was most likely to be genuine, but we had a bit of a debate about it first! However this news story doesn't surprise me in the least!

      One thing to look out for is the real stores don't have "Apple Store" in the signage like the one in the above photo.

      You're right - they're extremely convincing. Even the staff had no idea (apparently)
