I'm waiting for Apple's lawyers to arrive with the attitude of a school of hungry piranha any time now...

Am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious if every model they shipped out contained a faulty motherboard, with signals rerouted to hide the fact everything is running from a Mac Mini stashed in the "powersupply"?
That would be great.
I've got to say, for a scam they are really committed.
At first, I thought this was all interesting and going to have an interesting legal battle attached to it. Then it was clear this was a scam and there would be no fun to watch. Now I'm starting to wonder if I'll get to see the legal fight after all. Maybe it's not a scam?

Surely it would have been easier just to buy one and find out, rather than to go to all that effort?

You sure about the sober thing? I find Apple's visual effects much more entertaining when I'm not sober.

That's easy:

Girlfriend looked at new computer. "That's not a Mac," she commented.

Later that night, while asleep on the couch, he dreamed of marketing slogans.

"Hi, I'm a Mac" "and I am a PC" "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR and I be a MacCLone!" (the Mac guy wearing a pirate outfit).

I've already saved myself the trouble of doing either by buying a Mac Mini and installing it inside a loud PC case with crazy glue.

Oh wait...
