The Consumerist has a wild, unsubstantiated rumor going that Apple sold a MacBook with porn on it.
RKH: me mate just bought a “refreshed” Macbook from the Apple Store here in London, turned it on once he got home and found porn on the desktop
fakeout: how refreshing!
RKH: apple sells “refreshed” machines at a 15% discount
fakeout: It’s supposed to be clean of everything I assume, including porn
fakeout: What kind of porn was it?
RKH: didn’t say
fakeout: how much porn?
RKH: just said there was a “desktop full of JPGs”
fakeout: How does he feel about it?
RKH: he’s pretty shocked, he bought it for his 11-year old daughtre
RKH: daughter
Oops. I think Apple was onto something here. They just sold it to the wrong audience. Then again, considering the story ends with the hard drive being reformatted, I think it’s probably just bull anyway.
