Apple Chromes Its Logo

Val42K writes "Personally, I like the original logo, but Apple has decided to changed their familiar logo in the latest release of the OS X operating system. It has the same shape but has a chrome finish, like the robots of Hajime Sorayama." Does it look anything like the image we're using for this story, the one on the outside of most Apple hardware and software boxes? What am I missing?

One good thing about the Apple //e was that here was no way that you could permanently mess it up short of physically destroying it. The Apple //e didn't maintain any data between power down and power up so if you screwed it up all you have to do is power down, wait 10 seconds and then power it back up. Yes you could screw up some diskettes and they would never work right again but the Apple //e didn't need a diskette to work.

So go ahead and mess up every Apple //e in school. I'm sure the administrator just powered them down and back up and they were fine. This is unlike the Commodore 64 which had a nasty bug where if you quickly toggled certain registers you could fry a chip on the motherboard and ruin the entire motherboard. I had a friend who ran a program which turned out to be a trojan horse of sorts and it did just this, toasting his Commodore.
