Apple Reverses iPad "No Cash Purchase" Policy

Posted by timothy on from the so-it's-free-now dept.

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."

    Another stupid comment from Ballmer's cock jockey. Apple isn't telling anyone they can't sell their device you stupid fuck. Way to take the quote completely out of context to make another one of your dumbassed rants.

    God you are the dumbest person on slashdot, and every time you post it makes me angry. Do you honestly believe that the reason they made people use a credit card was because they assumed no one had high enough of a credit limit to buy more than two? How the fuck did this get +3 Informative. If you're really still too dumb to get this, obviously your credit card company won't stop you from buying more than two BUT APPLE WILL. And they know how many you bought because YOU USED YOUR FUCKING CREDIT CARD.

    Try reading what you quoted again. Does it say "they limit sales to two per credit card" or does it say "they limit sales to two per customer". Or does each of your 6 or 7 credit cards have a different name on it?
