    That site goes far enough for Apple to have a case of copyright infringement.

    remember the Xtrem-mac? the 1.2 ghz g4 mac that was announced around the time when the 500 mhz. g4s finally started shipping in bulk(after being downgraded to 450 for a while)







    I'm reminded of that.

    The site just disappeared before my eyes - I was surfing around trying to decide if it was serious when - poof:



    "HTTP 404 - File not found

    Internet Information Service"



    Very interesting...

    Well I just called their toll-free store number and got a plain old answering machine instructing me to call back during "regular business hours". 9-6 M-F, 10-3 Sat, PST.



    So their order department closes every day at 3PM Eastern?!



    The answering machine then let me leave an actual message "at the sound of the tone"!



    Fake? Joke? Scam? Incredibly poorly executed launch? Anyone with any real experience with this "company"?







    P.S. Their "vast crew of young talented creative people" apparently does not include a copyeditor as their site is absolutely riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.

    What the heck is THIS CRAP?!?! Ooooh, you can sculpt a rock into your silly little logo and stick it to my computer. I'm impressed.

    It's definitely a rip. On the same technology page linked to earlier (here) all the icons are rips from popular OS X icon sets. Hell, you can even see the RAD E8 on the last one:

    While just trying to be different, and hopefully original, we unwillingly re-wrote the book on corporate imaging and product branding.



    Um, yeah.
