    Quote from Mac World Article:

    "contrary to rumors around the Internet, Apple has told Macworld that you can even do it yourself without voiding your warranty "unless you break something when you open it.")

    On that subject, I'm confused what the article author means by: "As we've said, it could be an error, but with two separate files both using containing the sub-string _g5_, one on Apple's site, the other on Avenue A's, this seems unlikely."

    I'm guessing what he means is that the file "apple_g5_powerbook" appears to exist on the target server.

    Well, "http://switch.atdmt.com/action/i bet any damn string will work here and the register is just freaking stupid" works, and "http://switch.atdmt.com/action/tony smith is a wanker" seems OK too. Obviously they were already prepared for this story!

    Or, of course, the bug accepts any input string and just dumps a 1x1 transparent GIF.
