heheheh! Apparently these definitions are from http://www.dictionary.com . You can go there and get the same definition. So, as much as we would like to believe this is an Apple easter egg, this is really just the people at dictionary.com having a sense of humor. Sherlock just happens to be the conduit.

Funny, though.

The new Evil Empire (the old one was IBM). Thebasic complaints are, as formerly with IBM, that (a) their systemdesigns are horrible botches, (b) we can't get source to fix them,and (c) they throw their weight around a lot. See also HalloweenDocuments.
