Just imagine the jokes you could make.
Scene: It's the day after release no one knows you have an iPad because you haven't told them (or you told the trickily that you wouldn't get one) still they ask
Person: So, did you buy an iPad?
You: Yeah
Person(excitement makes a face like a retarded monkey): OOOH Can I see it?
You: Sure (pulls out iPad case with iPad in it)
Person(gets made at you laughs)
You:No for real, you pull it out.
Talk of the office/school for weeks

You know Adobe doesn't want people to use the word "Photoshop" that way (I couldn't care less but it's funny) From http://www.adobe.com/misc/trade.html
Adobe the grammar Nazi said:
@ The guy below me
I gave the size and weight on page 3 or 4.
As you wish.
As much as I like this.. it is not an accurate representation.
You have to include the "Broken Flash" plugin somewhere on there lol
I think what's in the box are the new toilets by apple. Seems that would make sense considering the weight....
h
ha
zzzzzzzzzzzzz.................
Quite a few ex-Apple employees have admitted receiving orders to call some blogger and mention, that there is something comming soon. No traces, no proof, but a lot a of fuss.
I don't think that they have ever done the Black Box prank. Their creativity is endless... That's why it's Apple
As you wish.
Sweet!! That's more like it... I remember going to the drive-in with my uncle, aunt and there kids to see 2001 when I was a kid.... (Yes I am old) ... lol
This is more like the movie now...
The Apple mystery box is like one of those Russian nesting dolls. Open the box on the 23rd, and there's another box that says "Do not open until March 24". The box inside that is to be opened on March 25. And inside that is a box to be opened on the 26th, the supposed iPad launch date, containing iPads and the "special gift" Apple is bribing campers with to buy the thing.
My dad would consider you lucky, he hates delivering to our Apple Stores because they are in malls.
Ugh. I hate FedEx.
They try to deliver at 10AM when nobody is home. The won't leave it on the porch, despite the fact that I live in one of the quietest, safest, neighborhoods in my city. They give up after three tries, after which I have to wait on hold with a call center, then drive 30 minutes to the central facility (in a not-so-safe part of town) to pick up the package. Really, FedEx, is there no better way in 2010 to get my %@#* package?
Could be worse, though: it could be US Postal Service... (shudder)

If you leave a signed note on your door they will leave it there.
Except when they just drive by your house assuming you're not home at 10 AM and never see the note.
That's never happened to me before, I'm not saying that it does not happen though. For us they just leave a note saying they left the package at the door and that's it.
Ok so i have a problem with this whole thing
I have worked at Best Buy and currently work at FedEx. FedEx typically to my knowledge does not ship product to store such as BestBuy, they have their own shipping department. Im NOT calling you a liar im just saying that i find this hard to believe. HOWEVER i would be more than happy to help validate your statement IF you would like. Just PM some proof of your dads employment at FedEx. Once again i mean this in no offensive way at all just stating my insider opinion.

Actually it's happened with one UPS driver in my neighborhood. Never with FedEx.
