Apple Reverses iPad "No Cash Purchase" Policy 377

ZipK writes "After a few days of bad publicity, Apple has reversed its no cash purchase policy, explaining that the policy was originally implemented to limit the number of iPads an individual could buy during the introductory period of short supply. Now that supply has caught up with demand — and the story has hit front pages and gained national attention — Apple has reversed its policy, and taken the opportunity to put a bow on the story by giving the formerly scorned Diane Campbell a free iPad."

Comment following in the footsteps of John Muir (Score 1) 100

Clever. John Muir did something like this as a kid in the 1840s. He built a contraption to eject him from his bed and wake him so he could read in the pre-dawn hours (see bottom of p.225 in The Story of My Boyhood and Youth). It also lit a lamp at the same time and after a few minutes books to be studied were pushed from a rack. Now that's impressive.
