So much win. Imagine some RMA drone at Dell or something freaking out because there is some strange yellow square on their product and the manual doesn't "step 5a" to account for this.
 
Owned? Aside from some random dislike of the "term",

I worry about youth today.

Off topic here, but I have to say that I agree with you here. That owned or pwned terminology bugs me.

On topic, the story is good and I had to email it to a few friends of mine.
 
My wife said no too and this even includes my wish for one for my upcoming bday to get one.

Same boat. :( Birthday is Wednesday and all my hopes are gone. I just know I won't get one. If I'm REALLY lucky I'll get an AppleTV. But with the way things are going I'll most likely get an iCard.
 
^^ Not that the above arguments with said spouse can ever be won, but try pointing out to her that the amount of money she spends on hair appointments in just a few months would probably cover the cost of an iPad. If that doesn't work, then total up all the miscellaneous receipts that come from places like Walgreens, CVS, etc. If that doesn't work, remind her that you spent tons of money on her when you were dating ... money that she didn't have to spend on herself. When all that doesn't work, continue playing with your iPhone, as you sleep on the sofa.
 
Maybe if I send Apple a note saying, "My wife says Apple won't build a xMac" Apple will send me a note saying "Yes we will."
 
Sorry, but for me this story doesn't pass the sniff test.

Since it's a page 2 story, I think the editors think the same.

Great PR story if true...

I think it's actually true. It just seemed more casual/fluffy than our usual front page stories, which is why it got to page 2.

Why doesn't stuff like this happen to me.

I know right, a long time ago I took a friend to a grand opening of a mac store and they had door prizes...he won an iMac, he instantly became a PC turned Mac person, now he owns more Apple stuff than I do.

Oh yea, I got a door prize too...accounting software
 
I somehow doubt its true, but its a nice story.

When Ive returned a product, they have never asked for my name or address, and if I didnt give them my email address, there is no way they could contact me.
