I don't think they forgot, stuff like this isn't forgotten but rather not implemented for specific reasons.Of course, the other reason is Apple just plain forgot about this year.. But no, we won't think about that one.

So many opinions based on zero evidence. The only thing we know for sure is the the Back To School promotion hasn't been announced yet. Nothing else.
Who cares what Steve Jobs would have liked or not? Go buy your "other computer" or pay the price we all pay but stop embarrassing yourself with this "you are disappointing" crap.Some of us (and I'm a shareholder since 2005) having been waiting for this promotion for months! Apple if you are not going to have it can you please let us know so we can buy other computers? Seriously you are really disappointing. In more ways than this . I don't think Steve would like this one bit.

I guess, whole states canceling contracts with apple to include iPads in all schools, overall dwindeling sales in iPad and mediocre acceptance of iBooks have nothing to do with it. I'm sure.
If you are $20,000 in debt, maybe you should visit your university's computer lab for free rather than buy a $2000 Mac.

So many. If anything they need more because we're failing the next generation hard. Either you never attended college, graduated back when tuition, fees and books were actually affordable; or you're a trust fund baby. I was in the middle of college in 2008 when all hell was breaking loose in the economy. I couldn't even find a steady job that summer. When I was reapplying for loans for the 2008-2009 school year, they suddenly weren't approving loans anymore even though my credit rating hadn't changed. Luckily I was able to find a cosigner and a lender who was able to loan me money at 11% interest. I'm a reasonably smart guy (I design and code websites for a living, design app interfaces and do photography) and even I couldn't find work without a degree (not even as a bagger at the grocery store) so I had no choice but to keep pushing forward. I was one of the lucky ones who ended up landing some internships and a job post-graduation. I'm also a half-way decent entrepreneur so I pad my income with freelance work. One of my close friends (who is smarter than I am) graduated and could only find work at Target. He couldn't even become a manager because he didn't have a business degree. It's ridiculously competitive out there and our economy will fail eventually just because these students who are graduating have absolutely no money and are in debt up to their eyeballs. They don't have any money to stimulate anything. No money for cars, houses, or much of anything besides rent and food. So to answer your question again: These students need all the damn discounts they can get.How many damn discounts do students need ?
I reported it to Mac Rumors but they didn't bother to print it, but Apple pulled all cashback a few months back too - they used to offer 1.5% through sites like Quidco and Topcashback, so it really does appear to be a tightening up everywhere....
A lot. Have you ever been to college? It costs money and you don't make money for doing it.How many damn discounts do students need ?
Umm, so the end result may be: Apple products won't be so 'ubiquitous' as this next generation of potential buyers goes elsewhere
What happens if you've recently purchased a Mac and they decide to implement the back to school promo late (like August)? Is there anything preventing someone from returning their mac (if within 14 day window) and purchasing it again to get the promotion?
