UPDATE: I’m kinda late to clue into this, but as Trent Lapinsky of AppleXnet pointed out in the comments, this looks suspiciously like one of Apple’s Design Award trophies. Thanks Trent!
MacDailyNews has a totally fishy but intriguing picture of what purports to be an Apple-branded media cube.
Supposedly, the blurry picture was snapped with a camera-phone and sent to the site anonymously with the following note:
“I was only able to snap one quick shot of this as I was only in there for about 30 seconds. I sort of stumbled upon it – can’t say more about how or why. I only got about half a sec to look around back – there are a bunch of ports (and maybe a button or two) neatly arranged on the back (?) of the cube in a line along the bottom edge. It’s about 8-inches square and 8-inches tall – a perfect cube. It seems to be made out of a similar material as a Power Mac – aluminum perforated with a round hole pattern, but they’re smaller holes than found on a Power Mac. The top is the same material as the sides with the addition of the Apple logo, even though it doesn’t look like it in the photo – I had to snap it quick, sorry.
I don’t have any real detail on exactly what it’s designed to do, but I know from other things I can’t mention that it’s media-related. Apple “Media Cube,” maybe? Anyway, thought you guys would be interested.
