:shock:

Police say thieves staged a Hollywood-style heist to steal $26,000 worth of Apple laptop computers from a New Jersey store.

South Brunswick Police Sgt. James Ryan says the thieves climbed a gas pipe up the side of the Best Buy store and used some type of suction to lift a 3-foot-by-3-foot hole in the roof.

Ryan says the suspects lowered themselves 16 feet to the metal racks inside the store and remained about 10 feet off the ground, evading motion sensors :shock:.

The suspects used banners in the store to block themselves from security cameras.

Employees discovered the break-in when they saw debris on the floor and a hole in the roof on Wednesday.

On the other end of the spectrum... Some people near where I live climbed on top of a best buy at 2am. People saw them and they got arrested.

Jandurin

the absolute number one reason is that their products cost roughly twice what comparable (or even better) competitor products would

so you dont have one, nor plan on ever getting one. tell me why then do you hate them when they dont effect you in the slightest bit? are they attacking you are they trying to hurt you in some way?

alsomicrosoft charges more for the os then any other company, not to mention they have about 3 different versions 4 if you count starter. Why dont people get mad at that? not to mention they throw activation control on them and unless you want to break the law you either have to buy 3 different discs or a disc with more then one license.

Yes. I remember I was in a Best Buy and an Apple computer from the other aisle was giving me the dirtiest look ever.

What? Are they attacking you? What kind of argument are you trying to start here, because your failing at it. Also M$ may charge more for their OS but at least they dont make you buy everything you actually need! Apple does this incase you didnt no, their OS maybe cheap but you have to pay for all their little software programs that should come with it anyway.

no they are not attacking me i never set out attacking Microsoft unless it pertains to the hardware of the 360 :P. Im just sick of people hating on apple when they have never owned an apple computer. Sure the apple fanboys can get annoying but that comes up with any fanboy of anything. Also apple doesnt make you buy any software, when you buy a mac you get everything windows has plus ilife. You dont need ilife for anything if you dont already have it. You can relpace any of the programs with free alternatives if need be. But anytime you buy a mac you will have ilife on it no matter what, not to mention all the apps are usually backwards compatible.

Also please research before you comment, anytime you buy a new mac or refurbished from apple, bestbuy, powermax, almost any respectable reseller, you will get all the apps in ilfe. You dont have to buy them unless you want the newest version. Not to mention when you install the recent os you can import all your old apps.

Microsoft's OS costs pale in comparison to Apple selling 640GB HDs for $200. I can get one for FAR less. I paid $89 for my 640, and the difference on cost between the two pays for my Windows 7 OS. They increase the cost of the processors by ludicrous amounts, up to $400 extra with the Mac Pro machines. Their RAM costs are often abnormally high as well. I mean, I haven't checked their pricing in about a year or so, but Apple has always increased the cost for its components, simply because it's an Apple product. When I'm paying for a product, I want to get my money's worth, and when I can place the actual value on the parts I'm getting and I'm losing $600 dollars in difference, I'm not buying that computer. It isn't worth it. Do I pay the extra $600 to get a computer that's stable and efficient, or do I spend a few hours on a PC and get a computer that is just as stable and just as efficient, then pocket that $600 and put it into my savings account where it belongs? Apple products are fine. I've spent 8 years working on them, either in school or at work doing anything from video editing, to graphic design, to web authoring, to print mockups in Quark. I've rarely found them unpleasant, and those few times only cost me a few hundred dollars(Apple's OS has nuked 5 or 6 of my external drives). Apple as a company, is not fine, because they over-inflate the prices of their products because they know their products are "cool" and people will pay a premium for cool products that are supposedly aesthetically pleasing. Those thieves that stole those laptops will probably sell them off at 2/3 or 1/2 price and it'll actually be a lot closer to actual value than Apple's stock price.

Well you can say that for anything in life. Why buy coke when you can get a cheaper alternative that taste the same? Also welcome to capitalism, apple knows how to market have been doing really well the past 5 years, and made billions. So people hate them for knowing how to market, do they lie? yeah sure they do. So does every car commercial and makeup commercial on the planet. Your telling me if you could inflate the price of a 500$computer to 1000$ you wouldnt take it? If you say no your lying. Anybody in their right mind would want to sell something for more then it is worth. You seem to hate them for being smart, and being able to market and sell their products.

1st of all a bottle of coke doesnt cost hundreds of dollars so it is not comarible. And Apple is doing something wrong because they are so messed up over how much money MS makes that they make hateful campaigns about MS products.

"Your telling me if you could inflate the price of a 500$computer to 1000$ you wouldnt take it? If you say no your lying. Anybody in their right mind would want to sell something for more then it is worth"

That is not only unethical, but it is also immoral and wrong, you shouldnt ever try to rip people off.

[QUOTE="Fuhgeddabouditt"] Wow. You would think they would have the items bolted down in the front of the store :| They could of did that in the daytime with ease it seems.

Nah, chances are that store is packed with people all day. I would've gone for one of those Mac towers hooked up to a cinema display, but thats cause I'd use it :p They stole laptops most likely to sell, so it's a pretty huge return for how easy it is to swipe up twenty of them.

Well you can say that for anything in life. Why buy coke when you can get a cheaper alternative that taste the same? Also welcome to capitalism, apple knows how to market have been doing really well the past 5 years, and made billions. So people hate them for knowing how to market, do they lie? yeah sure they do. So does every car commercial and makeup commercial on the planet. Your telling me if you could inflate the price of a 500$computer to 1000$ you wouldnt take it? If you say no your lying. Anybody in their right mind would want to sell something for more then it is worth. You seem to hate them for being smart, and being able to market and sell their products.

1st of all abottle of coke doesnt costhundreds of dollars so it is not comarible. And Appleis doing something wrong because they are so messed up over how much money MS makes that they make hatefulcampaigns about MS products.

When you buy an Apple computer you're not paying for the hardware. You're paying for their whole operating system and the benefits of a very controllable system they've got going on. They know every component that goes into their computers and thus make a very fine tuned user experience. MS has a different approach where is licenses out its OS to hardware manufacturers to prepack on their computers. MS makes much more money with this approach but has less predictability when it comes to hardware issues.
