I HATE APPLE

it's really nice, the old ipad 4 feels big and bloated by comparison

i traded in our family ipad 1 for 200 off the new one at target

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7460/apple-ipad-air-review

new one is about as thick as an iphone

Do you have to spend the $200 on an ipad or is it a generic gift card?

depends on your target

they gave me a gift card though. there is nothing wroth spending money on at target so we just got the ipad air

you could've bought like 25 of these

I could buy groceries

when they swiped the trade-in card they gave me they had to manually type in the amount that it would deduct. so idk if it was a regular gift card or what

Wait they gave you $200 off for an ipad 1?? was it ever used?

Yes

left hand side

has to be a target w/ a 'target mobile'

sunny about to break some little kids' hearts.

oh this is a promotional $200 on ANY ipad??

thats awesome. i have $400 worth of cracked ipad waiting!!

they might not take it if the screen is cracked, idk

our ipad was dinged and probably had scratches and stuff but the screen was fine

Yeah, it specifically says the screen cannot be cracked

bloody hell

STUPID TARGET

i took a bag of garbage to kitchen scraps and they wouldn't give me $25 for it

Target gave you $200 for the original iPad? Their website is quoting me $75 for a 1st-gen iPad 64GB wifi/3G :-/

Yeah they'll do it regardless of what the website says

Unless you're in chicago

Read the link -- $200 minimum for all iPads in-store until the 9th

OH I SEE

Oops. Thank you.

No locations in Chicago. That sucks. I guess it would be worth borrowing a car to drive to a suburb for that deal.

Just run to evanston

huh. might be worth driving to Concord I guess. stock up on...underwear and non-perishables?

don't forget monster mix.

there is nothing wroth spending money on at target

cmon dude gtfo

things I will get at target: archer farms potato chips (cool and exciting flavors), archer farms coffee

things i will not get at target: everythinge lse

When you need a new vacuum cleaner or whatever do you go to a farmer's market and cross your fingers

when i need a new vacuum cleaner i live in my own filth like a dirty fucking pig

I haven't cleaned or swept or vacuumed or touched any part of my room in over a year

Since I moved in, actually

underwear, paper towels, bathroom tissues

I haven't cleaned or swept or vacuumed or touched any part of my room in over a year

cool

Guess what, neither has Target.

I just did the target trade in. Got 200 for my ipad 1 with a scratched screen. Deal ends tomorrow

hm. well they don't sell the one i want at target!

taking in my mom's iPad 1 sometime in the next day

Did you get a vacuum cleaner xxp

$200 gift card, no strings

I might buy a MacBook Pro as soon as my Lenovo breaks.

Someone dissuade me.

you don't want a a good computer, you want a piece of shit. keep the lenovo.

speaking as someone who has a macbook pro and a lenovo twist

Unexpected double whammy.

I give you a +1, the late great.

it is upsetting to me to have to use the lenovo

i don't even know how to begin talking about how much more i like the mbp

I actually like my Lenovo, but somehow the bottom part where the keyboard sits has suddenly lifted open, by the corner of the screen's hinges or whatever.

Did you get a vacuum cleaner xxp

haha. I bought a vacuum cleaner there like two weeks ago. Missed opportunity!

this new desktop ibooks app is absolutely terrible. it's hidden the library of books I had in iTunes. It's fucked up the metadata on that library. I can't edit that metadata back. It seems permanently confused about what to do next - spinning wheels, crashes. It feels really insultingly half-arsed.

The iBooks is at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books but I have nfc on how to decode file names yet.
