Unless there is an obvious incentive to purchase a giftcard -- critically for a store/vendor which you already have near-term plans to spend money at -- then avoid them. Eg. I recently purchased one which had an effective 20% savings due to some holiday promotion and will be done spending the balance some time next week. Even then I barely decided to do so.

I don't know how we got conned into trading our money for giftcard balances at par.

I wonder if this is simply a rebranding so that the original no longer appears for "Angry Birds" searches in the app store. Namely that subsequent versions make more $ per install, and having the original at a low price point is cannibalizing sales of the newer more profitable titles.

Definitive, eh? Qualifiers like this are amusing, as they're generally self-proclaimed.

However, having a domain like applerankings.com, as well as a comprehensive, in-depth and entertaining library of apple reviews, definitely helps make the case.

What other heuristics have you seen out there that help make a self-proclaimed "definitive source" become an indisputable one?

Edit: looks like the site came online last year with that same claim, so time is not in their corner.
