AT least it’s spelt right...

The apple proportions are all f’d up, too. (huge bite, weird bite alignment, funny leaf...)

Come to think of it, I think that’s Adobe’s Myriad, not Apple’s custom Myriad.

There’s a presumably legit image here:

Images of the latest iPod Shuffle here, for comparison purposes:

The text for “iPod” isn’t as bold as it should be, either.

Nice doily though. LOL

Smart people don’t buy electronics off of eBay. ;0)

We got a Chinese knockoff iPhone last year (our Shanghai developers sent it). The best part was the Apple logo on the back had the leaf pointing the wrong direction. (And no, there was no Myriad in sight.)

Better images of the real deal:

It seems there is a culture of dishonesty in China—well, at least when it comes to intellectual property anyway. It steams from communism right?

There is dishonesty in capitalist countries too, Mikey, but that doesn’t mean it comes from capitalism.

Let’s face it, some people are dishonest. I’ve been burned buying CDs on eBay, and the CD was coming from someone in the U.S.!

Mikey, a culture of dishonesty surrounding I.P exists in America and England too, and Russia, Australia, etcetera. In China the communist thing may encourage it, or maybe not, but in the end I think dishonesty is a human trait, part of the human condition. Side note: Martina Navratilova emigrated from communist Poland (or whatever country it was) to the U.S, and when pro-communist westerners hassle her about it she says to them, “If you think communism is so great, why don’t you go live in a communist country?” As you’d expect they never have an answer for that.

@Oh Ricky you’re so fine: Let’s face it, some people are dishonest. I’ve been burned buying CDs on eBay, and the CD was coming from someone in the U.S.!

This is why. This is why I don’t buy any kind of stuff from Ebay. I get a much better deal on music CDs from a chain of second-hand CD retail stores here in Melbourne, Dixons. They sell used CDs for about half the brand new retail price, and there never is any quality problem.
