Sorry, the only thing that chrome will ever eat is its own butt.
Where are Lessig and his fellow self righteous zelots? according to their logic, this should land google in the supreme court. That’s funny, I said lessig and logic together.

Not hard to find if you have Firebug. Not that you’d be looking for this kind of thing…

That, and the guy foolishly used a definite article when referring to (an) iPod.

Its an old-school type of humor that very few will appreciate. Nowadays easter-egg means a 3D game pops up after a combination of painless keystrokes leaked out through media. Anyone remember Infocom’s text adventure? Gosh. Luckily I am old enough to be amused.

You are the first person to ever write this comment on any story ever on the Internet.

Congratulations on your originality.

At first i thought “your app stopped working” referred to the fact that Apple rejects iphone apps that use undocumented apis, but come to think of it, it’s a generic cautionary comment not to override unofficial apis.

Actually, this particular class-dump comment has been around in Mac OS X for quite some time, even going back to NeXTStep days.

It can be surprisingly amusing at 3am.

Note however that said person has a nice job at Apple, and you don’t.

Just sayin’.

That method doesn’t sound very funny. It sounds more like someone being a douche.

Just sayin’.

The only thing I find funny about Apple is iTunes. It’s a joke to think that in the 21st century you can only purchase some content/installs through a single provider for a device, much like there was only one place you could buy butter in Stalingrad.

Ah, but it doesn’t have the same connotations, something like “Ve haff vays of keeping you from using der zekret methods, dey are VERBOTEN!” (Read in a Colonel Klink accent for optimum effect.)

They fired him when he re-designed iMovie.
