Apple announces free holiday shipping for online orders
Apple on Monday revealed that all orders for any product placed at its U.S. online store through Dec. 22 will ship for free, while customers in other countries can also receive free shipping for one day only.
The announcement was made on Apple's online store on Monday, also known as "Cyber Monday," or the first Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. Apple does not have any Cyber Monday deals, though it did participate in Black Friday, the largest shopping day of the year, last week.
Apple's free shipping promotion through Dec. 22 applies only to the U.S., but customers in other countries -- including Canada, the U.K., France, and Spain -- receive free standard shipping on all orders placed Monday. The free shipping offer in those countries does not extend beyond Monday. Additionally, Monday's free shipping offer does not extend to all other countries.
Of course, many resellers of Apple products also offer Macs and other products at discounted prices with free shipping, including MacMall, MacConnection, B&H, Amazon, Best Buy and DataVision. Discounts available from these resellers can be seen in AppleInsider's Mac Price Guide, included below:

Its $50, not $100. I didn't think there was anything on the store that wasn't over $50. :P
Adapters are about it. Nothing like getting an adapter in your stocking!

I never thought about socks as humanizing Apple, and the audience is clearly laughing at Jobs calling them a "revolutionary new product" so hopefully that will prevent any trolls from claiming Jobs was serious with that statement.
Jobs mentions the case makers profiting from the iPod's success. Was this there first entry into the "case" market? I think it might have been. Thankfully they're designers have stepped up their game since then. I love the iPad 2 Smart Cover but I do want more magnets for two specific changes. One, make it strong enough that it will stick securely to the back when holding on the edge with your left hand. Two, add a magnet in the Smart Cover and sensor in the iPad for the second-to-last panel are, along with appropriate software, so you can flip up a single panel and see the time, weather, stocks and other simple notification data quickly.

No - Jobs was having fun... but he spent plenty of time on it and it does have the effect of making the device 'friendly'. But he had fun at other times. For instance when he introduced the iPhone (slide of iPad with rotary dial).

I like it! And give developer's access to this. I can just see a cute little 'Hello!' as you lift just the first flap. But seriously - a great feature. Opening up the whole thing just to see who just emailed / sent a text / weather etc. is laborious.
That socks!
(Can't think of a reply that involves a pun) Perhaps that a good thing.

I'm glad my idea came across. I felt like I made it sound overly confusing and pointless. Certainly not my best effort at writing.
