    Snowball's chance in hell, what credibility does this site have anyways? I say many things on the street, but that doesn't mean they're true.



    [edit: Oh, and I really hope you're not just ramping up traffic for your own site with baseless rumour.]

    My god that site is an awful mish-mash of misspellings, bad rumors, inaccurate facts and potentially illegal stock tips (no disclaimer statements).

    You have to give them credit for trying... but they could at least have read the forum rules here.

    this website is owned by a friend of mine. this rumor has been going on for a while in UCF, where I got to school. Everybody has heard it. most people say they heard it on tv. how true it is i don't know. he finally wrote the story on his blog and i saw it so i linked it there.....about the stock picks, he is a graduating finance mayor!

    This rumor is stupid beyond words. Even refurbished, you won't see such drop in price for an Apple product.

    I guess the inability to spell correctly is a school wide problem, his friend the upcoming Finance Mayor didn't spell "San Fransisco" right either

    Well just for the record if you walk in any apple store this weekend, it confirms a thanksgiving day sale... "The feast after the feast sale"



    So it's sorta true, usually 30-40% on some stuff..

    On one or two things sitting on the open box table maybe.

    If Apple offered 30% off PowerBooks, I'd buy one. No, two.

    I was sure that I got one of these emails about a day after Thanksgiving sale from Apple that MacMinute is talking about. However, it apparently self destructed after I read it. The power of suggestion.

    Wow, but think about a 50% discount! Wow! A quad G5 for under $2K! Come to papa!



    More likely it will be wireless keyboards & mice, iSights, Airport Extreme basestations, iWork and other slow-selling stuff.\

    Hey watch it , UCF is some of our Alma Maters here. In fact the Computer Science department is fantastic there in Orlando. But, as far as Mac rumors, I can't vouch for it.



    Anyhow, Go Knights!

    Well the grammar in that post didn't help you [sic] cause a whole bunch.



    The 50% thing seems to be a 50% off a MS product via mail in rebate when you buy a Mac at the Apple store Friday (+longer???). While I wouldn't call that teh suk, it's hardly worth getting worked up over.

    I'd call it "teh suk" after envisioning a $2K quad.

    Not really Future Hardware.... and posting a new thread and link with little or no original commentary from the poster is frowned apon around AI.



    Closing.
