We've reviewed the Powis iCase for both the first and the second generation iPad. It is an impressive case that offers a great deal of functionality even as it protects your iPad in style. We got word that Powis is celebrating Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a 3-day 50% off sale on iPad and iPad 2 cases. This deal is good through Monday, November 28. You can see what is available and in what colors here on the Powis website. &nbsp Continue reading on Gear Diary ...]]> http://www.geardiary.com/2011/11/26/save-50-on-the-powis-icase/feed/ 0 Black Friday Giveaway #6http://www.geardiary.com/2011/11/25/black-friday-giveaway-6/ http://www.geardiary.com/2011/11/25/black-friday-giveaway-6/#comments Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:00:44 +0000 Dan Cohen http://www.geardiary.com/?p=171088 It's Black Friday and that means you can save some cash on things you want for yourself or to give to family and friends.

I heard on the radio this morning that Old Navy will be open on Thanksgiving. Target and Walmart are also planning special hours on Thursday. Personally, I will be avoiding all these stores, but it is not an anti-consumption stance. I just feel terrible for all those employees forced to work on Thanksgiving. I've been there. When I worked at Borders I worked July 4th, Presidents Day, Martin Luther King day, Easter, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, New Years Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and pretty much any holiday I forgot to list. The sacred days, the two where no matter how exhausting or stressful the year had been, the two that were a Continue reading on Gear Diary ...]]> http://www.geardiary.com/2011/11/23/why-im-not-shopping-on-thanksgiving/feed/ 1 Apple’s Black Friday Sale Details Revealed!http://www.geardiary.com/2011/11/23/apples-black-friday-sale-details-revealed/ http://www.geardiary.com/2011/11/23/apples-black-friday-sale-details-revealed/#comments Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:30:51 +0000 Michael Anderson http://www.geardiary.com/?p=170886

"Robot Santa will show you the real meaning of 'Black Friday'.  Ho ho ho ho!"

Look, don't blame me, I'm only here to help! Yes, Black Friday is right around the corner.  I don't know about you, but being both Jewish and the child of a messy divorce, I'm not a big fan of "the holiday season" (to me it's more a holiday of "which parent am I going to disappoint this year?", rather than "peace on earth, goodwill towards everyone", ya know?).  I'm more like the folks in "Futurama", dreading the coming of the Robot Santa, with his rocket launchers and exploding Christmas balls and whatnot.

In an obvious attempt to get everyone into the holiday shopping mood way early, Amazon is holding a 48 hour HDTV and video sale. One of the featured items is the Haier L32D1120 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, which usually retails for $349.99, but through November 7th it is on sale for $197.00. That's a great price on its own, but Amazon upped the ante and added a $200 gift card for those who sign up for DISH Network.
