@Settings: I bought a fake wallet for like $5 in Hong Kong simply because it was an awesome mashup of Gucci and Coach (Coucci?) to get around any of the vendor's legal logo issues.

@What We Talk About When We Talk About Squalor: Pulitzers in the Gawker family. That would be cool.

@aprather: I'd be interested to know that as well. It seems like a fairly one-horse category when separated from netbooks.

@pdubs1087: Ahhh, yes, that would be a not-legit-Mac attribute.

Make it a stapler and I'm sold.

@octasquid is now closed beta: Agreed. The brushed look clashes with the anodized look.
