The Monkey

Nums, happy birthday! Eat 100 cupcakes.

Posty is right. Especially because the iPhono connects to teh interwebs (i.e., a series of tubes).

I won an iMod from Vinnie at the NYC Meet. Well, not exactly won. I bought it for $100. I currently have a 5.5G iPod, but the LCD screen is starting to flake (I bought it refurbed from Apple) and Vinnie informed me that I would need to get an ALO LOD, which I think is $85 to use the iMod. I'm not a huge fan of that arrangement. Would it be wiser to find a cheap 4G and get that done?

I can't believe I find that "mars" color tempting.

+10 invisibility points?

Mike, remember that this has to be done inconspicuously.

^Heh, I once worked on a merger between two pork producers. I needed to a lot of research about ham and bacon production. Delicious.

The Spud amp sounded sweet. And that thing runs hot! I didn't spend too much time with it but I like that amp.

Shouldn't we be calling tkam's The Menace Heavy (or The Heavy Menace)?

Which full-sized headphone(s) do you prefer?

Close, but I think leaving out the word "all" changes the whole ballgame. This one I wouldn't object to if clearing copy.

I object!

And they should be giving me free stuff.

I don't like to talk about my brief acting career.

Agreed, but then they shouldn't offer discounts at all. The 5% nonsense is insulting. Especially in this climate.

Dammit for us. Hopefully good for you and the family. Is it for a set period of time or open?

Ah, benevolent Apple looking out for us.

I get particularly cranky with Apple because their "discounts" are always so lame.

Yes, I think "from 5 to 25% off" is better. What was the full text of the ad you received?

heh, DACses.

No. But I like getting angry.

No it doesn't. As the advertiser, they are responsible for are reasonable consumer interpretations. It certainly is reasonable to interpret "Up to 25% off all macs" as the opportunity to save 25% on each mac in the lineup. Nate's post shows the deception at work here. It's bullshit and Apple shouldn't do it. More appropriate language would be "Up to 25% off selected Macs" or something like it.

Oh boy. If real, and each Mac model does not have the ability to be discounted 25% (maybe through a combo deal), then that "up to 25% on all macs" claim is false and misleading.

Bitch!
