Pranksters Post Giant Windows Logo On Hamburg Apple Store

Posted by timothy on from the city-named-after-a-delicious-sandwich dept.

theodp writes "Working calmly in broad daylight and filming their efforts for YouTube posterity, a fake construction crew attached a large Microsoft Windows logo to the black facade of a soon-to-open Hamburg Apple Store. Neat hack in the MIT vein, but next time the crew might want to take along a pic of the Windows logo — with the adrenaline flowing, some of the colors got rearranged and were hung upside down."

    What? They didn't include the video when, 20 minutes later the whole black facade turned blue with cryptic text all over it?

      Worse than that after the first two minutes the entire store was infected with viruses and malware.

    It is also mildly amusing for those people who can spell juvenile.

    I just place all "Designed for Windows" stickers that I find onto dumpsters and trash bins of various capacity. Does it mean that my sense of humor is far superior to those pranksters (not to mention that I make a valid statement)?
