Talk about product placement! Now you can run a Mac that thinks it's on Coke?

I notice it's Coke Classic; does that mean it only runs OS 9?

I'll say this: If Apple is smart they'd take a page from the iPhone 5c, and offer color options since they were able to do a one-off red for an auction. In fact, I could see them adding choice of color other than black as a $100 upcharge in the configuration menu: I'd think red, blue, chrome, and white would be good starting options.

What I've read is that the 5c isn't selling all that well. Which is a good thing. Maybe then apple will stop this pastel coloured madness that came with iOS7.

PS - I love the look and design of the new Mac Pro!

Cheap plastic phone for $99? I wonder why it isn't selling so well...?

Well I was really only bringing up the 5c in terms of the color options... not the cheaper aspect. I knew at the time I posted I probably should clarify, but I didn't and here we are. :)

Yes but if U2 endorses it, doesn't it cost more? I know, the extra $100
goes to charity... :lol:
