Sorry, Apple. These deals just don’t cut it. Your so-called Merry Monday deals makes a mockery of the whole Cyber Monday institution. Edifier Prisma 2.1 Speakers $116 instead of $129. Intense! Micheal Kors Wallet Clutch $71.95 rather than $79.95. Epic! Twelve South Compass Portable Stand for iPad $35.95, down from $39.99. What a deal!

Where’s the iPad deals? Can we not get a few bucks off a MacBook? You did get the memo that today, Cyber Monday, is the biggest online shopping day of the year so you’re supposed to mark down all your wares in order to propel your holiday sales into the stratosphere, right? You did Black Friday right, but today is Cyber Monday~! HP has the right idea. They have great deals on notebooks and desktops today. Newegg got the message and dropped the prices on a bunch of products just for today. So what’s your deal, Apple? Do you hate us?

Oh, what’s that? Your sales are good enough that you don’t need doorbustering prices to move product? I see. Oh, well, fine then. I guess the deal on the Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox isn’t all that bad.
