Black Friday 2012: Macintosh software / hardware deals [updated]

My suggestion to everyone is to just go to work on Friday. Highways are empty, clients don’t call, and since it’s likely your coworkers won’t be there, you can wear that “Dragon Commander” t-shirt you have without fear of repercussion. If you do have to spend Black Friday shopping, here are some stellar Mac software and hardware deals, most of which you can take advantage of from the comfort of your own home…or office, depending upon whether you followed my advice.
