Dick move from a butt-head fruit.
- not2b 5y agoMacWeek published an article about the code name, along with the code names "Piltdown Man" and "Cold Fusion" for two other Power Macs. That's how he found out. So, two well-known scientific hoaxes and him. Sounds like they were implicitly calling him a hoax as well, though I think they were just hoping to make "billions and billions", and putting those three names together was something MacWeek, not Apple, did. Sure, Sagan probably shouldn't have sued a second time, it just triggers the Streisand Effect. But it's understandable why he was pissed off. https://www.engadget.com/2014-02-26-when-carl-sagan-sued-apple-twice.html https://www.engadget.com/2014-02-26-when-carl-sagan-sued-app...
