Apple: Webbriddle on Apple.com

I first noticed this on http://www.macrumors.com and the link is still present on Apple's pages.


The (white) text on the linked page says:

"Je sais que vous avez un endroit spécial dans votre coeur pour beemers. Vous devez voir mon noir 1974 2002 coupe. Vérifier le NewYorkTimes a classifié premier le 14 août, 2002."


...which Alta Vista translated for me as:


"I know that you have a special place in your heart for beemers. You must see my black 1974 2002 crosses. To check NewYorkTimes classified first on August 14, 2002."


:confused:
 
beemer: BMW

There is a car called a 2002 BMW that was built in 1974.

The translation from Yahoo was slightly incorrect:

"I know that you have a special place in your heart for beemers. You must see my black 1974 2002 crosses. To check NewYorkTimes classified first on August 14, 2002."

Remember that written French is quite formal and flowery compared to English. A better translation would be something like:

"Everyone loves BMWs. Check out my 1974 BMW 2002 coupe. See it in New York Times Classified from Agust 14, 2002."

It sounds like an Apple employee is advertising his used car or something. That's rather amusing.
 
The http://www.august14.com poem reminds me of an apple hole. APPLE hole?!

Pinochle is a card game.

On a slightly different (but related) note, I was also surprised by this when looking up info about Darwin for a friend:

*link edited because of pornographic content


...keep scrolling down.

This is from the children's book Scary Stories. I know this because I remember reading it when I was little. I dont know why it would be on the Apple site though.

bbloke - since you have your pm and email functions disabled, you are hereby publicly warned about violating site policy by posting a link to a site containing pornographic links. any further violation of site policies will result in removal of your membership.

see the site rules if you have any questions.
 
Today the Apple page this all started from (1st link in 1st post) had ":q:" at the bottom, and it links to the QT download page.
 
Well, it's safe to say that I'm completely baffled by all of this.

Please do not edit my posts without stating they have been edited, and why. There was another line after this commenting on the bizarre site bbloke mentioned, but it's vanished. If you must remove information, make it clear it's been done, so my statements are not misrepresented.

Anyway, does anyone have any new leads on that weird uncaptheride.com site? The backwards text suggests constructing a domain name from some kind of anniversary date. My curiosity is at its peak... :)

Ed,

I publicly apologize for the previous post. I wish to make it very clear I was not advocating the content that was linked to on the site I mentioned. The only reason I displayed the URL was that I was very obviously surprised that a site about Darwin would have such links and indeed questioned whether or not they were "supposed to be there." My post resulted from the immediate surprise of the discovery rather than any sort of premeditation, but I didn't realize I would be breaking any rules by posting. Perhaps I should have thought it through a bit more and I assure you my intentions were utterly innocent!
 
Personally, I wasn't offended. I assumed that was why you mentioned the site. I thought the juxtaposition of technical information of an OS and pornography links was quite funny, myself.

And I'm still holding my breath for someone to crack this strange mystery. I certainly haven't had any useful epiphanies in these past few hours. But that's probably because of all the calculus I've been working on. :)
