[11/23] [Updated] Ready. Set. Shop. Apple's "Black Friday" Shopping Event is Today

"Black Friday" is the day after Thanksgiving Day and by tradition it signifies the day that retail businesses start to make a profit for the year, i.e. they move from being in the red for the year to being in the black.

Today Apple is having a special one-day "Black Friday" shopping event called "Ready. Set. Shop." at its online and retail Apple Stores. Apple says you'll find dozens of great iPod, Mac, and iPhone gift ideas -- all with free shipping.

Update: You can save up to $101 off a MacBook or iMac, $21 off an Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset, up to $31 off an iPod and up to $201.95 off various non-Apple products.

Good luck shopping! [Bill Fox]
