The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers?
Nice2Cats asks: "So after buying another piece of computer hardware, I am stuck with more of those stickers that some silly person in marketing actually thinks I'm going to slap on my computer. The problem is, I'm running out of other places to put then (throwing them away would show a lack of creativity, and is out of the question). I already have one on my drill ('Sound by Hercules') and my table saw is 'Dual BIOS'; I also probably have the world's only vacuum sweeper and lawn mower that claim to be made by Apple. I don't want the stuff on my car, my wife draws the line at our toilet cover -- where have other Slashdot readers put these stickers? Where is the most awesome place you have seen, say, that white Apple?"
I'm fond of putting "Designed for Microsoft Windows"
stickers on trash cans and shredding machines.
while visiting a friend I noticed a 'Designed for Windows XP' sticker at the :)
toilet flusher button. I couldn't think of a better place
I visted a Holiday Gas Station in the middle of Minnesota (about a year ago) and while using the restroom, being astonished to see a poster with all the java classes / packages on the inside door of the restroom.
What was funnier, was that someone had updated it by drawing in a couple of new additions and other made-up classes (javax.swing.phonesex). I remember thinking - WTF? Who thinks about java while taking a dump... talk about an extreme programmer.
There is always a frontier where there is an open and willing mind
Don't you know a benchmarked kettle never gives output?

I used to have a "No User Serviceable Components Inside" sticker on my motorcycle helmet.
