  • Becoming A Beta Tester Of The New Apple Ipad – And Keep It Free!

    Major corporations such as Apple need actual consumers to test their new products at home. Of course new products go through a battery of tests in labs and by professionals, but until actual consumers try them out, the company doesn’t really know if they have met the consumer expectation.

These answers assist Apple with making improvements for new models.

The league sent a memo Tuesday informing teams it had "no expectation of concluding a timely labor contract." The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, follows the latest failure in negotiations.
