    I have GOT to think someone would've noticed a weight difference. I own a Macbook Pro. I have held a brick. They do not weigh the same.

    @OCEntertainment: I don't believe you. There's no way possible that you've actually held a brick.

    It's traceable. Whoever bought it in the first place had to use a credit card. Second they can trace the serial # and wireless network # on the box, which I'm sure the swapper didn't bother to swap out. Yea you can say you bought it from some dude on the street but if the credit card or surveillance pic matches you, bye-bye to you. I'm sure the person is gonna get caught.

    @strider_mt2k: You're just saying that because on every note printed (in the USA) it states "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE"


    And just because they ask for your name, zip code and phone number, doesn't mean you have to give it to them.

    Even when it smacks them in the face, some people refuse to recognize good fortune like this. After 23 years of relentless hounding from his shrewish wife, this unexpected paving stone could have served as the fortuitous catalyst to finally remodeling their ramshackle home and simultaneously achieving the marital bliss that always eluded them. But, noooooo, he wants his damn computer.

    Thanks to you, Mr. Real Commentor of Genius, we can now unabashedly burst out in laughter in the middle of our dull and monochrome cube farms each and every day.

    Mr. Real Commentor of Genius, with your wit and savoir faire, we can enjoy the relentless bashing of Internet trolls and send them back under their Linksys WET54G bridge.

    And yes, Mr. Real Commentor of Genius, only your tact makes us all proud to be a member/reader/(lesser) commentor of the blog that OMG! Ponies! frequents.

    @Geisrud - MS150 fundraising time!: That deserves some recognition. You get the "Adam Curry Song Of The Day Award". Here's a blond wig and weathered leather motorcycle jacket.

    Or he stole the computer, replaced it with a brick, and pretended it came that way. Otherwise, it's probably some disgruntled employee who found out he or she was getting the can.
