Huh, I would have thought that there were little elves inside.

I'm waiting for version 3.5 to come out near Thanksgiving. I heard it has a phaser in it.

Ah, but there is a point. A news article said people were cracking it open to see what components were being used so as to invest in those companies. And in fact their stock prices went up a bit. (Apple's fell a bit at the same time.)
