  • Apple to hold one-day Black Friday sales event after skipping 2015

    macgui said:
    The AirPods are the only thing that would tempt me at the moment. Normally I'd want a 10% discount to offset the tax break I'd get from ordering from B&H or Adorama. In the past Apple discounts weren't very deep at all– something like 5–10% IIRC.

    If I could get the AirPods, I'd pay full retail, if only just to try them out.
    Honestly I'm holding out for the BeatsX instead. The features of the W1 chip are really all I want...and I'm allured by the in-ear buds, the cabled design with magnetic buds, and lightning charging.

  • Super Mario Run for iPhone coming Dec. 15, unlocked for $9.99

    why do people keep calling this an endless runner when from the very first showing it's clear there are stages like a regular mario platformer?
    Because it is an endless runner.

    There are stages, yes. There are jumps, yes. But Mario runs automatically and does not stop. The game is called Super Mario Run. It is an endless runner.

  • AT&T will entice users to sign up for DirecTV Now OTT service with free Apple TV or Fire TV

    I'll sign up for 3 months get another $150 ATV for $105. Best Buy periodically offers them for $100/$150 which is what I paid for my 32GB and 64GB Apple TVs, but it's worth $5 for 3 months of programming - even if that's all its worth.
    Are we certain they won't charge you for the AppleTV if you cancel? 

    If not I'll do the same...I still have a 3rd gen in the guest bedroom and no real motivation to upgrade it...unless of course I get it for free for trying 3 months of this service. Sounds like it could replace Sling for me, but we'll see what the official launch package looks like.
