Looks like this became quite a mob scene:

"$50 iBooks cause stampede!" (tuaw.com)

"Panic ensues in rush for cheap laptops" (cnn.com)

Wow, that's dedication!

Why didn't they just give the computers to the kids to take home?

If their goal was money, hell, Ebay them.

(As of now, there are not any iBooks from VA posted on Ebay today)

If anyone from XOC went, I heard there was a stampede of 5100 people for the computers. Some lady pushing her baby in a stroller got trampled. Sad.

Yes, that did happen. Along with a grown woman, with two small children, publicly pissing on herself so she wouldn't lose her place in line.
