Dirt cheap Apple iBooks cause an iRiot
The Henrico County school system had a surplus of iBooks (about a 1,000) that they decided to sell for the drool inducing price of $50.00 a pop. The sale went down at the Richmond International Raceway with the doors opening at 7 am. People started lining up at 2am in hopes of snagging a cheap iBook but when the sale began, it didnn't seem to matter when or where you stood in line. All hell broke loose. Old folks got trampled and baby stollers got crushed and apparently, one woman was so excited, she wet herself. She didn't want to lose her spot in line. Madness. ¶ 3:01 PM
