Good choice to translate it. "Molla" is a sweet little word all Albanians love. I think it's a good marketing move. Heck, we already know the fruit-brand works well in english.

It is good for taxes as well. If the name is in a language other then Albanian you pay more.

Haha, love the translation. Molla sounds better to me rather than Apple.

Great to see Apple in Albania. Looking forward to when McDonald's arrives, NOT.

Why we cann't be happy that we have smth new and nice in our city but we have to take care if is leggitime Apple store or no. I think you have to be more interested in the products because those i am sure that are not produced in Albania or assembled in Allbania.

in fact, peeps, it is a legitimate Apple store. you can get all manner of Mac computers, iPods, iPhones, iTouch and all the other gadgets to go with it and, thankfully, you can get your Mac products serviced there, as I had to do with my Macbook. it ain't cheap, but it's real.

Albania and the Perils of the 21st Century

Another article on religion in Albania appeared yesterday. Patrick Poole, writing in the American Thinker , argues that Saudi funding for the construction of mosques and the training of imams is a threat to Albania, since these mosques and imams reflect the fundamentalist interpretation of Islam dominant in Saudi Arabia.

Big in Albania

Ask me how much I knew about Albania before coming here and my list would be a short one: Enver Hoxha, bunkers and Sir Norman Wisdom. I have no idea when or how I acquired this extensive body of knowledge, but the association of Norman Wisdom with Albania was by far the most interesting part of it. I remember watching Norman Wisdom's old films on British television. My parents were fans of his wholesome, slapstick comedy, but apparently missed the ideological significance of Pitkin's relationship with Mr Grimsdale. Pitkin, the downtrodden and oppressed representative of the workers, triumphed every time over his capitalist oppressor, Mr Grimsdale - and he got the girl. It took a theorist of Hoxha's insight and profundity to discern this deeper political message. It always seemed tremendously unlikely, yet the story of Sir Norman's fame in Albania has been reported in worthy sources like the BBC , the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph .
