Poetry For Pirates

Submitted by baudot

Edited by Shal

Apple computer is ramping up the tactics versus the influx of pirates that are expected now that their OS runs on Intel hardware with a blistering new salvo: Poetry.

Your karma check for today:

There once was a user that whined
his existing OS was so blind
he'd do better to pirate
an OS that ran great
but found his hardware declined.
Please don't steal Mac OS!
Really, that's way uncool.

(C) Apple Computer, Inc.



Existence of the poem was reported by hackers and confirmed by Apple.

One poem was pirated in your name to bring you this article. Performing a Hail Mary may clear your conscience and karma.

Their poetic meter sucks. I mean really sucks.

Doesn't even have the word "Nantucket" in it.

Sheesh....

I'd say a wee bit of sarcasm was being employed there.
