Fake "proprietary screw" experiment shows how easy it is to hoodwink the Apple blogosphere

The only thing that surprises me is that the screw wasn't 'rumored' to be a telepathic link to Steve in the hereafter. I guess the requisite number of participants in the game of Telephone wasn't reached.

People will believe whatever when they hear the words "proprietary" and "Apple" linked together.

Actually it just shows how much people use companies like Apple to fill their lives somehow. Those people are often not very critical nor intent on looking pass what is there. So sad.

Apple has already sent it to his local patent office

This is really nothing to do about Apple.. and all about the internet bloggers that do NOTHING to substantiate any stories before reporting.

This just highlights irresponsible reporting!

anyone else notice that it looks a lot like the computer input ports that R2-D2 accessed and spun left/right in the original Star Wars movies? :) just immagine an access hole right in the center, and boom.. its a replica.

Dont even ask my how I remember that lol.

Wow! People wetting their pants over a fake screw just cause it's invented by Apple?
Ridiculous. Don't give Apple any more ideas to patent!

Most people who buy iPhones don't know or care about these BS rumors. The impact of bloggers and tech sites, and the so called "reaction" from readers, is all overblown. The same two people going nuts in the comments section does not constitute a movement.
