We have an excellent deal of the day for you guys! Especially for those of you who like to understand how things work, love to learn new things and maaaaaaaybe a bit of a nerd. Like the good kind of nerds, the charming good looking ones.
Straight from the wonderful humans over at Slickdeals.com, we have ‘The Complete iOS 7 Course’, the iOS Bootcamp that teaches the tools needed to develop iPhone and iPad applications for iOS 7. You learn by building 14 apps along the way with the final app being a full featured dating app: A Tinder Clone.
This course from BitFountain is usually – wait for it – $499 – but for a short time only it is – wait for it – FREE!
Today’s deal of the day proudly brought to you by Groupon! You guys should totally jump on a couple of the stellar accessory deals they have on sale right now.
For instance:
The BassBoomz 2.0 Portable Bluetooth Speaker. for $29.99
And last but not least, and our favorite of today’s deals – is The Roku Streaming Stick with 2 Months Free of Hulu Plus for a miserly $49.99. Although it’s competitor to Apple TV and we do prefer the latter, the price of Roku with the addition of 2 months free Hulu plus is a great deal.
Merry Friday!

Apple will begin it’s annual ‘Back To School’ Promotion tomorrow, Tuesday, July 1st, with a likely offer of an iTunes Store/App Store gift card to students that purchase a Mac, iPad, or iPhone.
If similar to last’s year’s promotion, the offer will be a $100 App Store gift card for the purchase of a new Mac or a $50 App Store gift card with the purchase of an iPad or iPhone.
So if you’ve been waiting for a good time to make that Apple purchase, now might just be the right time! Tomorrow in fact! The same exact right time that the US is going to beat Belgium in the World cup!
One important part of getting that deal is something that we want to make sure everyone is aware of, because it can help you in so many more purchases in the future!
It’s the Best Buy 10% off any single item purchase coupon from the Movers Guide Coupon Book. This book is free, convenient, and anyone can get one. Just go to your local Post Office, if it’s not lying around, you can ask any one of the lovely USPS employees for one and they’ll get one for you, no problems.
Again, 10% off any single item purchase at Best Buy! We’ll bring you all the great deals on tech stuff that Best buy have in the future so you can combine and stack those discounts too!
Right now you can get a brand spanking new MacBook Air for as little as $585. We know, it’s the best deal we’ve ever seen, AND it’s from a triple stacked discount, which is all kinds of extra fun.
So here’s how you get it:
Best Buy currently has a $100 discount on all of the newest 2014 MacBook Air
This is awesome, but it only gets better once you combine that deal with the second deal that Best Buy is offering – if you have a valid .edu email address, you get an extra $150 off.
This is what this means, broken down:
– 11.6″ MacBook Air, 4GB, 128GB SSD: $899. With the $100 Discount – $799. With the extra $150 discount, the final price is $649
– 11.6″ MacBook Air, 4GB, 256GB SSD: $1099. With the $100 Discount – $999. With the extra $150 discount, the final price is $849
– 13.3″ MacBook Air, 4GB, 128GB SSD: $999. With the $100 Discount – $899. With the extra $150 discount, the final price is $749.
– 13.3″ MacBook Air, 4GB, 256GB SSD: $1199. With the $100 Discount – $1099. With the extra $150 discount, the final price is $949.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
Would you like an extra 10% off that already heavily discounted price? Yeah?
Ok, here’s what you do. Go to your local post office. You’re looking for the Movers Coupon book. They’ll usually have them lying around, but if they don’t, you can ask them for one. They’re free, and inside you’ll find a coupon for 10% off any single purchase at Best Buy.
And yes, this further discount can be combined with the two discounts above. The only caveat is that in order to use the Movers Coupon you need to go in-store to make your purchase.
If you choose to take up the first two deals without the 10% Movers Coupon, you can make your purchase from the online Best Buy Store and shipping is free. The combined Best Buy deals will last until June 21, 2014. The $150 off deal for students lasts until July 12, 2014.

Last but not least, Happy Valentines Day Guys. We… well, it’s hard to say this but.. we really, really, um, like you.
Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. What are we to do with you? Not a lot of people know about you, far less understand you or how you work, you’re super unstable and yet you’re growing. You’re the new in thing to talk about in media and that somehow continues to be the new in thing to talk about as if you know what you’re talking about.
Honesty corner: We don’t really know what we’re talking about when it comes to Bitcoin, but this is what we do know: It’s a cybercurrency that is created, distributed and authenticated outside of banks or governments.
People mine for them using their own computers by assisting other people’s Bitcoin transactions. And then they have them, and they can spend them. Right? We’re learning! We feel like it might be a thing we really need to learn, because it’s moving from a thing that you read about on the internet, to a thing that people are using as proper currency on the internet quite quickly.
Case in point: Online discount retailer Overstock.com is now accepting Bitcoin. In fact, more than 800 purchases, equaling $130,000 were made in the first 24 hours the company was accepting the cybercurrency.
Patrick Byrne, the company’s chariman and CEO had this to say:
“Digital currency will be an important part of the future and Overstock is excited to be the first major online shopping retailer to accept it,” said Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com chairman and CEO. ”As one who believes in limited government, this attracts me because it is a form of money that no government mandarin can will it into existence.”
More retailers are saying they will be accepting Bitcoin – most recently the Sacramento Kings, making them the first professional sports franchise to accept them starting on March 1st this year in the team store and in ticket sales.
Kings owner Vivek Ranadive says accepting Bitcoins is the next step in allowing fans to leave their wallets at home. Solving situations like this one, at the very least;
Other companies such as Paypal are considering making the move to accepting the currency in the future. In the meantime they are perhaps waiting for it to stabilize, perhaps they too are unsure of what the consequences are of accepting the currency. On Thursday, one Bitcoin was worth approximately $850.
Meanwhile, Kanye West has sued, and won against similar cybercurrency Coinye for using his image. Silly Fish Sticks. Doesn’t he know it’s the way of the future? We could’ve all been using Coinye!
But don’t worry! Why not? Well, because the only things you need to worry about Friday the 13th is avoiding ladders, black cats and ridiculous superstitions.
