MacBook Air stabbed to death

This young fella hated the MacBook Air’s cheap build quality so much that he decided to stab it to death and then praise the construction of a nearby IBM Thinkpad X300. [via]

If this turns out to be a viral marketing scheme for IBM, then it’s a pretty damn brilliant one at that.

Supermandolini sells this 2-part pin made from gold matte-finish acrylic that looks like a bird took a crap on your jacket. It is hand-made and costs just over $25 USD. [via]

I think it’s a wonderful modern alternative to the much overlooked lapel pin.
