Used iBooks Cause iFrenzy:
Would you hit someone with a folding chair to get a good deal on an iBook? Would you wet yourself to keep your place in line? These people did…for an old iBook.
A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.
I might hit someone with a wrench for an iBook, but I draw the line at folding chairs.
Conversely, I would probably hit someone with a used iBook to get my hands on a nice folding chair. (For sitting on, not hitting.)
I might hit an iBook with a wrench to cause a diversion while I fold up the folding chair and stack it neatly in the corner. Some people just don't know from fun.
