Found Footage: Baby Chipmunks Prefer Macs Too!
Well the evidence is in, small rodents prefer Macs! I think this one was mislabeled by the original poster. I'm not at all sure, but that looks more like a baby chipmunk than a squirrel to me (please correct me on that one). In any case, it's good to know that the heat generated by the MacBook makes somebody happy.

Update: Okay, I admit it: I don't know the difference between a squirrel and a chipmunk.

I had them as pets as a kid and saw thousands of them every sumer while camping.

Yes, it is a chipmunk. Chipmunks have stripes on their backs, squirrels don't. Squirrels have strips on their tails usually.

An amazing number of people think it's a squirrel, when it's a baby chipmunk, which is also known as a ground squirrel. Just open OS X's Dictionary, type chipmunk, and look at the picture. See the stripes? Squirrels don't have stripes.
