Apple Reverses iPad "No Cash Purchase" Policy

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."

Well, it's just the never-ending story of Apple wanting to control everything. This is what she said:

"Mr. Jobs, give a sister a break," said Campbell. "I'm not going to go sell my iPad."

Not only controlling all the applications and what you can do with the device, but controlling if you are allowed sell your device too? Everyone always says Apple is not a monopoly, but exactly how is this good for the market or people? You don't need to be a monopoly to abuse customers.

Nobody's buying an iPad for $1100. It's a joke, just idiots fishing. There are iPads on there for only slightly more than you could buy them for at the Apple store.

Plenty of sold iPads on eBay in the US for far more then retail. But that's as nothing compared with if you look on international sites for eBay.

But you keep whining like an idiot that the truth must be what goes on in your imagination, entirely unsupported by any evidence.

Are you retarded? I mean are you actually retarded?

Just because something only stops most people, and not all people, then we shouldn't do it.

Every comment from you lately has been complete and utter stupidity.
