Apple poetry
Members of the OS x86 Project recently discovered a hidden message to hackers within the hardware restrictions of Mac OS X, and have now unearthed a poem from Cupertino-based tech giant. One hacker named Maxxuss has discovered that a few pieces of Mac OS X search for a secret message in "commpage" which gets decrypted via the TPM (Trusted Platform Module).

But Steve pondered awhile, grabbed the phone with a smile, and said "Bill, there’s a thing to discuss..."
