What's Apple up to on Black Friday?
There's a lot of scrambling going on -- among businesses and shoppers alike -- in getting ready for Black Friday. Stores are putting tons of sales out there in the hopes of salvaging reasonable holiday revenues from a slumping economy.
But this is the one ad that totally caught my eye.
Is Apple really having a sale? As this story on cnet says, the company's popular tech products are rarely discounted. And one analyst in this story thinks there could be discounts up to 15 percent.
I know I'm tempted to check this out. My nearly 3-year-old Nano and its lithium battery are starting to show their age ... I just wonder if there's any possibility that so many people overrrun the site on Friday that it crashes.
Comments:
They had one last year, and no, the site didn't crash.

I passed by the Apple store this morning about 4:45 a.m. Not sure if there were any sales, but 19 people were sitting outside waiting for it to open at 5 a.m. More Black Friday craziness here.

Hopefully customers at the Apple store managed to keep their cool, unlike a bunch of New York Wal-mart customers, who actually managed to kill a Wal-mart employee.
