The supposedly 21 Dec 2012 Apocalypse came and nothing happened. To be sure we have even celebrated Christmas and planet Earth is still rotating as usual. So it’s only safe to presume we still have some decades to go before another Apocalypse theory emerge again (some said 2060?). If you’re one of the End-of-the-World “Doomsday Preppers”, it’s time for you to crawl out of that cave or bunker you’re hiding and perhaps reward yourself with some long overdue gifts – be it Christmas or New Year gifts.
If you’re Apple die-hard fans, go and get yourself an iPad 4 (if you don’t already have an iPad already), even though there’re rumours that iPad 5 will be released in Mar 2013. And if you don’t mind owning an iPad Mini for just a couple of months before a second generation retina-display Mini is revealed deliberately to make you mad, go get one as well. And do we have to remind you again about the tax relief for iPad that you can claim? Of course, if you do not already own a smartphone, go get yourself an iPhone 5. If you’re already a proud owner of iPhone, don’t forget to get yourself Apple’s generous 12-Days of free Christmas gifts from December 26th 2012 to January 6th 2013 – a free digital download from iTunes each and every day – songs, music videos, apps and books.
