Yes, I know many of you already know this so this is simply a reminder. It's time to go back to school. The summer is nearly over. Dust off your books and brains. Groan.

The Deal: Buy a Mac with an education discount and receive an 8GB iPod Touch or Nano free after a $299 rebate.

>> MacBook starting at $1099.
>> MacBook Pro starting at $1999.
>> MacBook Air starting at $1799.
>> iMac starting at $1199.

Shipping is free on all deals, and this promotion is valid till 9/15. This is a good opportunity to snag a fresh Mac and iPod to boot! I think I'm going to pass this year, maybe take them up next year. Wonder what they'll give for free. 32GB iTouch? Damn!

The $1000 iPhone App

7:00 PM / Posted by Nico Atienza / comments (0)

There has been a heated discussion recently about the iPhone App "Iamrich" which costs a whopping $999 and does nothing too mind blowing. Critics ridicule the 8 people that actually purchased this application, while those 8 people simply want them to stop hating on their benjamins. You can argue on both sides of course. However, Apple took it on their own hands and pulled the application out of the store. You know what? This could be a collectible now!

Here's a guided walkthrough of the application. You decide. Would you buy this for $999?



Personally, I don't need a $999 app to tell me this. It's not my money, so I'm not hating.
