New users of the Hotel Tonight app, which is designed to find deals on last minute hotel bookings can get a $25 credit by entering the promo code "TONIGHT" during account sign-up.

Before making a purchase of a Mac or iOS device, make sure to consult our Buyer's Guide to find out if it's a good time to buy. For example, since a new iPod touch variant was recently released, it's unlikely another update is in the works for the near future, making it a good time to buy.

That is strange, although we'll probably see them come up with some reason for skylake delays as they have with other recent generations.
I folded and bought a 13" Retina Macbook Pro.

The Retina Macbook Pro has reached "Do Not Buy" status but I do not see any rumors. I have 2,345 days with this Macbook.
