Black Friday for Mac Prices
Black Friday is a nasty name for a good thing: It's the day after Thanksgiving
when millions of American shoppers hit the malls in search of smokin' bargains.
Apple had been making noises about some sweet Black Friday dealios, so I checked
it out. The best bargain I found was $100 off its lowest-end laptop -- making
it still a hair under a grand.
As this bad economy continues, I believe Apple will have to lower its premium
prices. Kinda tough to shell out all that money for a Mac when you can't fill
your fridge with groceries.
Meanwhile, "The Simpsons" has soured on Apple, and in the last episode
spent six full minutes
making
fun of the company
. Since I gave up watching "The Simpsons" 10
years ago, I unfortunately missed this episode.
