Kathy Landin — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:00:15 +0000

Anyone who has anything they're trying to peddle to the American people is truly blessed when Oprah Winfrey gives them a shout out. Being one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things” is the retail equivalent of having Jesus himself turn your paltry water into the finest of wines.

Texas Woman Scammed, Buys Fake iPad

Jen Austin — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:45:11 +0000

Something to keep in mind as the holidays approach: People are selling things everywhere! They're even trying to sell iPads at gas stations. But it doesn't always turn out to be legit.

A Texas woman was scammed out of $200 after a man approached her at a gas station and asked if she wanted to buy "an iPad worth $800 for $200." Apple hasn't even shipped the highest-priced iPads yet, with retail price ranging from $629 to $829, but if you're at a gas station pumping gas, you probably have other things on your mind besides retail releases and ship dates. Did the scammer get caught?

There have been a number of strange tactics employed when it comes to teaching babies and toddlers all there is to know about numbers, shapes and letters. So when Utah dad Mike Wilson decided to purchase an iPad for his two-year-old son Bridger to assist with that very job, it was only a little strange.

He later admitted that the purchase was primarily an excuse to splurge on a pricey iPad he'd probably end up using for himself, but the teaching tactic actually worked.
