Pretty cool. The burning Apple needs to be on the 17" MBP...

Dumb.

Just put a regular screen and have it show the apple logo glowing.

That way you get an external screen that is actually useful and isn't completely gimped by a corporate logo right off the bat.

Call it art, because otherwise it's a miss.

I hate the morons that post comments like: "nerd" at a nerd website. What a tool. Anyways I really do like the mod it's an approach I have been waiting to see from Apple Mod fanboys for a long time now.

I know our Washington apple growers are awfully close to Redmond, but still -- we make a tasty apple, and those Italian ones are always sleeping around with different varieties on the side. So, I say Apple should sue 'em just to keep those foreign fruits out of our country!

So, since there's absolutely zero suggestion, either in this article or at the source link, that Apple is the least bit interested in taking action against these folks, am I correct in understanding that the entire point of this article is to let us know that a fruit company is using a picture of fruit as its logo? 'Cause that's some serious gadget news right there.

@ron2112: Do a google search for serious gadget news.

Let me know how long it takes you to get to Gizmodo.

Or, actually, feel free to go to any of the places that do come up.

Apparently they have exactly what you are looking for.

@92BuickLeSabre: I think by serious, he meant ACTUAL gadget news. Are you going to tell me to search google for "actual gadget news" now? Such a funny guy, you are.

I think he was just trying to point out how frivolous, pointless, and useless this post is on top of all the other sometimes frivolous, pointless, and useless articles that get posted. I mean, really? If the editors and contributes of this website weren't such blindly-raging apple fanboys, no one would even care that a GODDAMNED APPLE COMPANY IS USING A PICTURE OF AN APPLE TO SELL THEIR PRODUCT. OMFGZ. APPLES. THEY SELL THEM. AND GASP! THEIR COMPANY LOGO IS AN APPLE!!!!! THE HUMANITY!!!!!

Give me an effing break.

@marm0lade: I'm just saying that if this is not what one is looking for I'm sure there is somewhere else will be.

For example, if I want fine Italian, I go to a fancy Italian restaurant. If I want a cheap slice of pizza, I go to a good local pizza place.

I do not go to the fine Italian place and scream and yell that they do not have greasy pizza. I do not go to my local pizza place and scream and yell that they do not have squid ink pasta with fresh ground pepper and little tasty pieces of grilled squid.

This is largely due to the fact that I'm not an idiot.

@marm0lade: Actually, Gizmodo is neither a pizza place nor a fancy Italian restaurant. I'm not sure how you could have confused them actually. They are quite different.

Equally importantly, there are few things in life I think of more highly than my local pizza place. If only I could live up to the standard it sets.

@Kaiser-Machead: Hell to the fuckin' yeah! IT IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!! OUTRAGE!!!!

@92BuickLeSabre: huh? You said:

"if I want fine Italian, I go to a fancy Italian restaurant. If I want a cheap slice of pizza, I go to a good local pizza place."

Then you went on to explain how you do not expect the local pizza place to have fine italian food, and you don't expect the fine italian restaurant to have cheap pizza.

Is that not an analogy to excuse Giz for having irrelevant articles ("chepa pizza")?? Please elaborate.

@marm0lade: You're simply taking the analogy too far.

All I was saying was that you don't go somewhere that has something other than what you want and then complain that it has what it is supposed to have.

Doubly so because you are assuming a value judgment between the fancy restaurant and the pizza place. It's not about which is better. It's that they are similar but different. And each has what each has. Or to bring it back to your reading, I do not actually prefer the fancy Italian over good local cheap pizza anymore than I prefer CNET over Gizmodo.

@Kaiser-Machead: I do however love garlic knots.

Sorry Jobs I don't think you want to mess with the Vanzetti Family, last I heard they were in the the business of concrete shoes, if you know what I mean...

And by that I mean they made horrible conrete shoes, failed and went to selling apples

Is it really worthwhile to file a lawsuit and go through the routine to *try* and get some other company that has nothing to do with yours to change their logo? I propose a cost-benefit analysis!

@BeerManMike: You never know when Apple will decide to enter the Apple business, so it is probably a reasonable move for them to start suing companies that actually sell (ahem) apples.
