What would you do with a $10,000 iTunes gift card?

Apparently I’m a child…according to microsoft
by Justin Horn on Apr 10th, 2009 @ 9:33 amI own a Mac, so according to Microsoft’s latest “laptop hunters” ad I must be a child. Fine with me…I don’t want to grow up, I want to be a Apple Store kid. This third ad in the series features a mother / son duo searching for a good gaming computer under $1500. As usual in these commercials they hint about the high price of the Macs. The funny thing this time is something the mom says, “Let’s go see the Macs, they’re kind of popular with this age”, referring to her 11 year old son. Seems like MS knows that they are losing their grip on their future customers to me. 
Another day, another laptop hunters commercial

AppleCares about my cracking macbook
by Chiyin on Apr 9th, 2009 @ 11:58 am
Apparently I’m among the lucky, or rather unlucky, ones to have a cracking MacBook… At first I thought it was a somewhat isolated case, but it seems that it’s a big problem among white MacBooks if apple is addressing the issue the way they are now… For me the casing cracked along the bottom edge of the computer, right where the speakers are… And this is my story…
