There's more men than women in the world, so that should earn us more respect.
I thought there were slightly more women? It would make sense that there would be as they live longer!
I would assume most people pay for these things by credit/debit cards and apple would therefore be able to obtain your info...
no kidding, I didn't have to wait in a line for 13 hours to get the chance to buy a wife, just for her dad to tell me sorry she's sold out and to try again tomorrow.
After using our ipad-2 since the 17th, we are pretty sure we are going to return it and get an Airbook 11" to go with our pro machines at home. We just can't get anything like simple productive tasks done on it without some form of rain dance, hoop jump session. I cant even email a photo with a file name to a client to comp in a layout, pretty laughable actually.
Maybe in a few years when Apple figures out there are actually people out there who do more than game or waste time on Facebook....

No doubt an urban legend!
Probably the real story is that somebody at Apple thought it would make a great story IF it happened. And, like the proverbial telephone game, it snowballed into people hearing it as if it happened, including the source "close to Apple".
Still, a heart-warming tale. The funniest comment, though, was this by Iceman
"My Wife Said: YES, But Apple Said: NO
She said Yes since day one, but every time I call Apple asking if they have any, they reply: NO!
Insane, isn't it??"
Now, that's the real story!

Take my wife...please. She's good at saying "no".
Me neither. This is a weird story. I want to laugh along with it, but something doesn't ring true to me.
What if "wife said no" because "husband" spent all of his time with gadgets instead of the family? Apple sending it back (even if "free,") doesn't address the situation properly (or even politely.)

Obviously total bollocks

Actually, I had recently purchased an iPad 1 last week and the wife was also upset. I did return it, but not really to make her happy-it was to make ME happy. Number 1: it was only a 16GB, and number 2: I like the iPad 2 much better.
Plus, I have the credit to buy one, but no job. And since I didn't need it, that helped make my decision.
But, AT&T had the 64GB wifi and 3G for $529...sooooo tempted!
