Great story write-up. Just superlative. Let's re-write and make it clear:
"A group of students won the Apple [Computer] Design Award in June for a program called 4Peaks. For winning the award, they received a 'trophy,' which is a metal cube with an Apple logo on top. When you touch the cube, it glows. Curious as to how this works, the students decided to take their 'trophy' cube into a CT scanner and have it scanned to see what was inside. The linked pictures (in the Slashdot writeup) are what the inside of the cube looks like. Neat looking."

Okay, I understand the gaming thing.
But a couple of things:
It's "Mac" - ease off the capslock key...
And if you can take half of Microsoft's cash, remember to keep enough to buy a nice Mac before giving it to anybody. Preferably... me.
And if you're using multiple Opterons for... gaming... then maybe you can afford to have less of a problem with the cost of a Mac.

The infamous Apple G4.5, in the shape of a football, was pulled off the market after numerous high school jocks mistook it for a sports object and put the hard drive through the goalpost. Sadly, the data did not survive.

Whew...that wasn't so hard, was it?
