Steve stole an iPod for himself!

Someone at Apple seems to think that there is a giveaway inventory of 51 iPods, as opposed to 50. Try hovering over the "To celebrate we're giving..." text on Apple's home page.

Steve, you thief! You stole the extra one!

It's a good sign when a company's CEO loves a product so much that he resorts to theft.

If you read the fine print, someone else stole another one then.

Look at the rules.

"Pink elephants" alludes to drunkenness...I forget the origin, but someone, somewhere, claimed to see pink elephants, perhaps flying, when he was very, very drunk.

Much like they do with this kid here.

Except that is tavilach (in his sig) and he creates self-indulgent graphics all the time (Taviladiumy? Something like that. Something scary. Make it stop!).

Of course I don't use Linux on my Mac. I don't have a Mac. I do use Linux on my PC, though. Debian, to be specific.

Yes, I know that I'm about to be flamed...again. Why is it that I don't care?
