Re: [iPad] Apple store in Atlanta denies ipad sale...

said by Fronkman:

2.) An Iranian citizen who is here on a tourist or student visa will EVENTUALLY return to Iran. If the Apple employee had some reason to believe that she would return to Iran with the iPad, Apple is in the clear. All it would take is for the woman to say "I am so excited about getting this iPad, I would never have been able to buy one in Tehran!" and it is game over.

I am betting on #2. Considering that Steve Jobs himself was part middle-eastern, it would be a stretch to say that Apple has a racist corporate mandate against middle-easterners...

I'm betting there are already iPads in Iran. From what I've read, iPads are encountered in North Korea.

And about being against Middle-Easterners, everyone in the Middle East hates everyone else in the Middle East, so your reasoning is weak. Remember, that's the only place in the world where people regularly wear bombs.

Good thing Iran isn't part of the Middle East.

Stupid Apple. Just let her have her iPad. This is ridiculous.

And they're all loaded with Angry Birds ready for an impending attack on South Korea.

"Middle East" is not a continent. Iran is part of Asia
