    So did they just put physical constraints on its growth area (ie, put it in a heart shaped box) or did they actually get a plant to grow to that shape on its own.


    If it's the former, lame; the latter, cool.

    Apparently, this is just like any ordinary (and much cheaper) apple corer, right? You push it in, twisting a bit as you go and, voila, your apple has been reamed...er...cored!


    However, since you don't want to completely core the apple--remember, you want it to hold liquid so it needs the bottom to be intact--instead of plunging all the way through you stop it a little short, right? So, then...how does this also remove the still-firmly-attached plug you just made?

    @bosskev: I'm guessing it's larger than the standard coring unit. If I had to guess, towards the bottom, it might be divided into quarters. When you get to the desired depth, you grip the apple and twist using the t handle. This would break it off at the bottom of the cut and allow you to get the pieces out easy. I think.

    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!!!!!

    @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.

    @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.
