Smoke Different An old Mac gets overhauled as an iBong, and sparks some interesting hypothesis about where does Apple's creativity spirit really comes from.
Didn't you watch Pirates of Silicon Valley? That bit where Steve Jobs is rolling on E looked suspiciously like an Apple advert..

Still, "the Mac bong is the best thing to have around when you're listening to the first four Burzum albums," he added.
Is it my possible my enjoyment of Burzum could be increased through drug use? What would Count Grishnack think?

I wasn't expecting much from this article, but anything with a sentence like:

All I can say is, I hope the engineers you know don't work for a company that makes heavy machinery. ;)
