    What's the best way to buy the new Mac?

    Because I have an event on the mid Nov. So I need get it as quick as I can. If the Mac is available right after the event. Should I order it online and pick up in the store? I live in an apartment so I think it's not safe to put the product in front of the door. Thanks for your opinion!

    Buying iTunes Music vs Spotify Premium

    So I'm stuck in a bit of a problem. I'm not sure whether I should buy iTunes music from the store or get Spotify Premium, what do you think? If I chose the iTunes route I'd buy an iPod Nano. If I chose the Spotify premium how much GB would it take up in storage if I had a lot of music? Thank you :)
