  1. Arnie,

    MDN clearly states that they are an Apple Store affiliate. If you don’t care to read it, don’t click the article. Some of us are happy to support MDN since we enjoy the site for free.

    BTW: I bough an iBook for my Mom – an Apple refurb that looks like new and works like a charm. Replaced her Gateway. No more Windows support calls every other day for me!!!

  2. This stuff doesn’t pay for itself. By that, I mean that the articles that are posted here are here because the folks of MDN put them here. They don’t charge for people to access the site, but they do ask that we click their links from time to time, and heaven forbid, buy stuff if we are in the market.

    This is here to let those potential buyers know that there are some great deals to be had.

    I for one, don’t have a problem with that. I like reading the articles on this site. It is convenient to find them all in one place, and it is constantly updated.

    If you have a problem with that, go find another site to frequent.

  3. Actually, it is “news,” because I wanted one of the $699 iBooks that disappeared from Apple’s site earlier this week (because they had run out at the time, I suppose). So, I qouldn’t have known that I can grab one now…and support this site.

  4. Put the disclaimer at the top of the article.
    That´s the news.

    If this is news, so are all the ads on the right hand side.
    Why doesn´t Apple advertise on this site?

    Gee….next MDN will be listing all the macs for sale on eBAy.

  5. Dear MDN,

    Which “Apple Store” are you referring to the United States of America store, or is it the British one, or is it the Australian one which also uses dollars.

    Of course the non-American readers know which one you are referring to but there is more than one Apple Store and we “other” readers would appreciate greater accuracy on your behalf. Alternatively, you may not care about non-Americans in which case perhaps you should just call yourself Mac Daily American News. Come on MDN get your act together and recognise your inaccuracies.

  6. No other english language aggregators of Apple news and events (and there are plenty) are prompter with Apple coverage overall, than MDN. Very few others are as comprehensive. That said, most of the other sites which monitor and report on Apple interest items also make regular reportage of significant Apple sale events.

    I would speculate that anyone who perceives MDN’s reportage on this particular Topic to be insignificant, probably doesn’t follow Apple with any meaningful regularity.

  7. Hiya Wanker,

    >you can go to google and set up a news alert<

    Yup. And if you do go set up Apple news alerts in Google (I do it many times a week) you’ll learn that MDN is frequently prompter than Google News even, often by a wide margin of time. MDN is also definitey more comprehensive than Google News regarding the broader scope of Apple-interest coverage.

    Try it for a month, yourself. You’ll see that I’m correct.

  8. MDN is a FREE site which makes money to run by advertising and running the Apple Affiliate store. It is not impartial or without financial aims.

    The site provides not only news but information on Mac products – this article is definitely the later. Since MDN does not claim to be independent I don’t know what your problem is. It provides the best news service out off all the sites available for the mac. It needs revenue to continue and succeed.

  9. The MDN headline reads:
    “Apple offers special sale prices on PowerBooks, iBooks, iMac G5, Mac mini, iPods, more”

    When I read that I thought Apple was having new sale on new apples – then saw it was come on by MDN for old or recycled Apple products. Apple always has stuff for sale – this is not new or news.
    It is just a much news as all the MDN Apple affiliate ads that border this website.
    The headline would be better if it started with something like: “MDN Advertisement”

    ————–

    gwm – you either work for MDN or totally flipped out on getting Apple news. whew.

    neil – thank you neil for your wonderfully obivious words of deep thought, we would have never figured that out.

  10. Tony:

    You got it. I’m an enthusiasist and I do maintain a pretty close watch on Apple. Beyond that, I don’t know MDN from adam other than from being a reader and a respondent. Never met ’em, never talked to ’em. I’m also pretty sure that I post enough wise-ass Apple detractor stuff myself to prolly piss ’em off now and then.

    Me? I do want regular Apple sale reportage from MDN. I’m waiting with abated breath for just the right one to appear and bingo! .. I’ma buy me another groovy and newer Mac. Yes indeed!

  11. ^ Congratulations MDN, for apparently having the delinquent child demographic sewn up!

    Horsefeathers. If you’re going to call this a news article, then Amazon, eBay, Target and Wal-mart.com are all news sites too. After all, they’re giving information on products, right?

    Hey look, I want to see MDN succeed. I generally like their little editorial comments, and I find generally about a third of the people — well o.k. maybe a quarter — of the people here make useful comments that I enjoy reading (pretty high percentage for an unauthenticated news blog site). But as someone who has been a regular visitor to this site, it bothers me to see this sort of misrepresentation going on. There’s a lot of good stuff here. They can make money without resorting to misleading people. Just my opinion.

  12. Guide to bliss for the anal among us:

    1. Get a life.
    2. Get a blog.
    3. Get lost.

    I value this site- it’s one of the few I check daily. Is this page “news”? Sure it is- as a recent switcher and one becoming rapidly and rabidly Mac-crazed- the opportunity to save a few bucks on some Apple stuff to replace the last vestiges of PC-dumb (er, dom) in the household is welcome news to me… plus, it can support a site I truly dig!

    Rock on, MDN.
