That's funny considering that the Apple store has a limit of 2 iPad purchases and if you manage to get more, you can be banned for life.

Over at ProtocolSnow there is a story on one man's struggle to bring joy and happiness via the iPad to international customers, only to be banned for life from purchasing iPads. As a member of the NeoGaf gaming forum he noticed an interest from international users who wished to purchase iPads, and with the month delay they just could not seem to wait any longer. He decided he would do the noble deed, purchase the iPads for them, charge a little extra for shipping, taxes, and gas, and send them to these loyal Apple fans. What he didn't realize was that there was a limit to how many iPads one customer could buy. The magic number is 2. Every customer is able to purchase a maximum of 2 iPads.

He was able to get his hands on 5 in total, 1 for himself and 4 for NeoGaf members. Upon another trip to the Apple store however the jig was up, they had finally noticed he had purchased more iPads then the two he was allowed to own. So how did the retailers decide to act? Banning him for life from iPad purchases. In fact when he got home he was treated to an e-mail saying his other orders were cancelled as well. The real question is does this mean he will be unable to purchase the 3G model? Will he be able to purchase any future iPad versions? I can only imagine the grudge will not be held for long, but at the same time it is a pretty entertaining story. Hit the link to read the story for yourself, the dialogue is definitely good for a giggle.

Spoiler: show

One of the eleven boxes below may flicker slightly. The a/b variants are the same, except that they depend on the position of your browser window. Strong flicker indicates that the voltages in the monitor are misadjusted. Unfortunately, this is probably not something you can adjust by yourself. In practical situations, a visible flicker here means that plain colors show "pixel walk" when watched from close-by.

My cable box (htpc) runs win 7. And it's a hell of a lot better than any dvd,bluray,tv,dvr, and stb i've ever used. I can even tape it to the back of my TV and call it a Windows 7 tv and it would beat the hell out of any tv.

Pass me the bottle, I got to page 5.

They all flicker for me 7a 7b not so much

Edit: not so much 4a and 4b now that I look at it even less that 7a 7b

[Denchi]

only 4a flickers

[Pirian]

2 of my monitors are fine, the 3rd monitor is more of a stream than a flicker in 2a (best way to describe it is static that starts from the bottom and goes up), and 4th monitor flickers in 4a or 4b depending on where on the screen it is

[Kurokikaze]

Flickering on 7a. Gateway FHD2400 :/

[Chun Liroy]

Only 4b, and even then only towards the middle of the screen. near top or bottom it stops. Is that good or bad? :<

[Heavencloud]

No flickering whatsoever on either of my monitors, yay I passed?

[Seanr]

same.. none for me

[Shenrien]

:D no flickering for me
