Remains of the Day: That's why they call it money

19.11.2010
Verizon continues to play coy about the iPhone, a surprising source is selling iPads at rock bottom prices, and--to our everlasting joy--Steve Wozniak is back in the news. I'm not going to lie: the remainders for Thursday, November 18, 2010 are looking forward to the weekend.

In an interview with the , Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg said that the company's shift towards the 4G LTE standard had perked up Apple's ears, but that at the end of the day, the iPhone will come to Verizon for one reason: "because Apple thinks it's time."

Yes, that's right: if you're looking for the best price on the hottest selling electronic device for the holiday season, don't head to the stores where you'd shop for electronics, like Best Buy, Target, or even Walmart. No, it's TJ Maxx, the discount department store best known for reasonable prices on apparel and , that's selling the iPad for $100 less than Apple. Following this to its logical ends, we'll probably be able to snag an iPad and a Big Gulp from a 7-Eleven for like $20 by Christmas Eve.

Apparently, I would be a entrepreneur. Because if somebody--even casually--offered me for a site comprised entirely of people talking about Justin Bieber and what they had for lunch, you can be pretty sure that the only thing I'm going to say is "Cash or check?"

"Whoa, you're selling the Microsoft KIN ONE and KIN TWO again? I thought that project was ." "No, no. As you'll see, this is the KIN ONE and TWO." "Are those different from the ones you were selling earlier this year?" "Well, yeah, obviously. I mean, they have the letter after them." "You just needed to move all that inventory, you couldn't sell, huh?" "Soooo, how about those Droids?"
