When I say "best," I mean, "the best deal you can hope for is £81 off a MacBook or iMac." Really, you'd be better off collaring the nearest student to buy your iGadget for you.

Awww isn't that nice, Samsung's giving the first 100 Galaxy Nexus buyers £250s worth of media and a £100 voucher, plus it's put them all in touch with each other -- by accident. Oh dear Samsung, bit of a privacy blunder that one.
