Black Friday 2005 - Apple (and others) After Thanksgiving Sale

Me thinks thats lame. So students and govt get no discounts? That sucks.

I might be wrong, because you're right it isn't really fare. But then, is it fare that they get discounts the whole year, and we only get it one day out of the whole year? - I don't really think that way, just looking at the other person's point of view.

For real, are they going to launch it at 6am or something lame like that?

My local store opens up at 6 am, is that the same for all Apple stores? If 6 am is the universal time nation-wide, then what time zone will they go by for the Online discounts? Then I'm guessing 6 am EST.
 
I would think that 'Day after Thanksgiving sale' ad would disappear or change as well.

Doesn't seem likely that it will change until later on in the morning but I could be wrong.
 
Do we know for sure that there will be online discounts?

The online poster says "Come back to the Apple Store on the day after Thanksgiving for a special one-day-only holiday shopping event. You’ll find dozens of great gift ideas for everyone on your list, and you’ll get free shipping on all items."

"Come back to the Apple Store"
-Does that mean Online of Retail?

"Free Shipping on all items"
-Why would we need shipping unless it was online?

wow, its only begun and im already scared. I went to compusa at like 12:15 and they opened at 12. It was mass chaos and I ended up leaving because they were already sold out of the speakers I wanted. Now I get to repeat all this again when I get up to go at 5, thats when it gets real crazy.

Doesn't sound like it exists in the States, but here (Belgium) a store has to have enough stock of a promotion to service a "foreseeable" number of clients. If they don't have enough and the item is worth more than $30 (roughly), they have to give you a voucher that you can use to pick the item up for the same price when they do have it back in stock.
 
Where did everybody go? I'm starting to think they know something we don't, and are shopping at some secret Apple site where everything is 90% off! :eek:

Nothing like that here. (I wish) In ads they will either write " while supplies last." Today I saw one that said "15 store minimum." If it didn't say something along these lines, I think they would have to give us a "Rain check." (similar to your voucher)
 
Hey, not to change the subject or anything, but if your waiting on Apple Discounts, and your on Tiger check out Frankfurt, Germany on your Weather Widget!

I'm sorry. That's bad weather. Right now it's about 12˚ C where I live. And it is going to start to rain soon.
Why are there several Frankfurt, Germany's?

Can someone tell the the difference between these graphics?

I think it's like
1- Is snowing- Just started
2- Is snowing has been for a while
3- Stopped snowing, but there's a S**tload of it on the ground

Thanks
I've always thought thought the 3rd one looked like a slug. :p

EDIT:
Oh, I just figured it out, I never looked at the widget as if the snow was actually falling on it. Now it all makes perfect sense. It's kinda like a Window seal. (sorta, like how the snow builds up on it)

Does anyone else think "Black Friday" sounds kinda racist?
Click to expand...

No. It's referring to a company 'moving into the black' which from what I understand refers to a color code that means profit (hazy memory due to late hour sorry).
 
Soooooo what are ya'll getting today?
I'm getting an iSight, and a PowerMac Quad from the Apple Store. and a new lense for my Camera from Sony Style.
