The Apple iBox Gaming Console

Friday, March 30th, 2007

So everyone has heard all the haha jokes mocking Apple Mac users. “You can play games! I’m a PC, I can run games”. Now I won’t go into the complications of someone actually being a PC, or the inconsistency in the way Apple use the abbreviation within their advertisements.
