    if you download the hirez photo and look at the second pink box from the left and the 2nd down. Zoom in to max percentage. Look closely, they have etched in the following text. "dear moto, get bent. - SJ"

    That is one large chip.



    I think Apple need a major case revision.

    That is the size the image was scaned in at, not the physical size of the chip.

    just relax a bit...that is the space where steve jobs himself places his thumb for 37 seconds, thus embedding his RDF on to each and every die for the life of the board...

    Picture #89 is pretty cool. It is a good shot of the top of the CPU.

    Seriously, what the hell are the those feather pictures all about? Are they supposed to be marketing shots? I mean, c'mon, what's the deal?

    OK, now Mac Rumors is calling the feather photos "pseudo-erotic". This makes my brain hurt. Someone please explain what the hell these pictures are for.

    Maybe they hired Dr. John as a branding consultant?



    I think this demonstrates the very fine line between genius and madness.

    Hmm. This is indeed odd. I thought IBM was full of black haired men walking briskly yet stiffly around in freshly pressed blue suits, carrying identical briefcases. Now it appears they have hired hippies with supplies of acid. Cool!



    I just pray that this new generation doesn't infiltrate the R&D sector. :eek:

    That's my new wallpaper on my PeeCee at work (so that I can taunt the PC fan boys).
