I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions…

…Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple’s website next week. Stay tuned.

We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.

Steve Jobs
Apple CEO

There’s word out that if you bought your iPhone with an American Express card, you’ll get the total price difference plus tax (around $210) back. I should probably try that soon…

For the full letter, go here

So last night around 11:30pm I was in Rodrigo and Teeter’s room smoking up some hookah. That’s actually a stretch given that the hookah was broken that night and all efforts to fix it that night failed miserably (but Rodrigo did manage to fix that shit today.) Teeter mentioned something about being hungry and tossed Steak and Shake out there. For some reason, Ben and I looked at each other and knew what we were thinking: White Castle.

During our freshmen year, we both wanted to go to a White Castle around Emory after watching Harold and Kumar. Problem is…there’s no White Castles in Georgia. The nearest one is 4 hours away in Nashville, TN. Being freshmen without any mode of transportation, that plan never went through - until last night. Out of everyone in the room, the only other person willing to go with Ben and me was Rodrigo. We called around asking whether people wanted to join up but we met pretty much the same response - fuck no. That is, until we called Barbara and her Italian cousin. This is pretty much how the conversation went down.
