Apple Thoughts: Black Friday This Week, Are You Prepared?

"Online and retail stores are already starting to promote their upcoming "Black Friday" sales. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States and marks the traditional start to the holiday shopping season. The day brings early store openings and deep discounts from many retailers, and ranks as one of the busiest shopping days of the year."

I avoid Black Friday sales like the plague, but if you are a brave soul then these ads will at least help you plan out your attack for the day after Thanksgiving. I prefer to shop online, so I wait til CyberMonday, or poke around at Amazon since they will have a sale online on Black Friday. So too does Mac Mall or Mac Connection. And this year Living Social is getting in on the act with deals sent out several times a day on Friday and Cyber Monday.
