Have you ever looked inside the case
of the original Macintosh? No, we’re not talking about the motherboard or the
disk drive here — we mean the case itself. On the inside of the case, in raised
plastic, were the signatures of the Mac division employees.
Do you know? why would
Apple do something like this? Simply put, the Mac was special. Specifically,
Steve Jobs felt that the Mac was a work of art. Artists sign their work, so it
only made sense to have the signatures on the Mac.

included the signatures on the original Mac and continued this practice part
way through the production of the Mac SE. Several years later, Apple again
included signatures on the inside of 2 Macintosh models.
7. Domain names are being registered

8. The Dovrak Keyboard is more
efficient than Querty. 20 times faster infact.
Dvorak is a keyboard layout
that is more efficient, faster, and more comfortable than the standard QWERTY
layout.
It has 70% of the most commonly used letters positioned in the
home row — QWERTY has only 32% — so your fingers move
less. This makes typing less work on a Dvorak keyboard.

Later in 2005 the company dropped "The" from after purchasing the domain name "facebook.com" for $200,000.
