    This past week, Apple detailed plans to introduce an interesting new program that gives its retail employees a chance to "check out" iPads like they would a library book.

    Wow, just think of it...A twenty year overdue iPad 2. That's a sh*tload of late fees. :D

    Apple used to give a computer to all employees on their one year anniversary. Maybe they should do the same thing again with iPad's or Mac Minis.

    They also gave employees a free 1st-gen iPhone back in 2007.

    Wouldn't most of them already have one?

    That's what I was thinking... and why would they need to "try" them out seperately? They use them plenty at the store, and they get big discounts on them (I'm pretty sure they do anyway)...
