Ask Slashdot: Top Black Friday Tech Picks?

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-pick-hiding-at-home-from-all-the-crazy-people dept.

theodp writes "Take a gander at the 2013 Black Friday ads and your head will be spinning with deals that seem too good to be true. And while the WSJ will try to slap you back to reality with a story on The Dirty Secret of Black Friday 'Discounts', it's still hard not to get jazzed over the prospect of picking up an iPad Mini w/$100 gift card for $299 (Walmart), a 16GB Nexus 7 for $199 (Staples), or a 32GB Microsoft Surface for $199.99 (Best Buy). So, if you're playing the game this year — either online or in-person (hey, what could go wrong?), — what are your top tech picks for Black Friday? Any strategy for improving your odds of getting them?"

    Black Friday represents everything about America that the Terrorists hate, so help fight Terrorism by fighting your neighbors over a $300 TV. And remember to report any suspiciously non-American activity to the proper authorities, such as Fox News.

    Otherwise. I'll probably be masturbating, drinking, eating turkey, and enjoying my family.

    That's a very weird way to spend time with your family.

    What is it with people like you who assume that posting as AC means someone is "afraid" ?

    Did you miss the part where the AC acronym is for Anonymous Coward??
