Apple has a little fun with the fine print
The product pages for the iPod shuffle and the Mac mini have their own little easter eggs, which aren’t really
hidden. But how many of you actually noticed gems such as:
(2) Do not eat iPod shuffle and
Keyboard, mouse, megaphone and display sold separately.
If you look really closely at the packaging of Apple products lately, you’ll also see that they all say “READ THIS
BEFORE OPENING PACKAGE: According to Certain Suggested Versions of the Grand Unified Theory, the Primary Particles
Constituting this Product May Decay to Nothingness Within the Next Four Hundred Million Years.” (ok, so I
made that one up)
Three cheers for truth in advertising.

I cannot believe no-one has mentioned the 'hands sold separately' comment. Go to the bottom this page: http://www.apple.com/macmini/design.html "Keyboard, iPod mini, dock, hands, AirPort, Bluetooth and PC sold separately."
