Saw the guy in the picture above on the train during my commute. He covered the original logo on what appears to be a Dell XPS laptop with an Apple sticker. Imagine being the product manager for that Dell laptop and then running into this guy. No fun. If people put stickers of your brand's logo over that of others to create the (very poor) illusion that they have a different product than they actually have, you are doing a good job. Apple: congratulations. If people put stickers of another brand's logo over yours, you should worry. They've got no love for you. Dell: maybe you should look into love in people-product relationships?

I think that what I saw is not an incident. There are numerous applications that let you make your Windows PC desktop look like a Mac (ok, guilty myself, back in 1998...). Ever seen people trying make MacOS look like Windows XP? Somehow it reminds me a little of this absurdity.

Did a small twitter search on 'Dell laptop Apple sticker'. Putting Apple stickers on Dell laptops seems to happen more often than I thought...
