Buddhist iPods -- HOAX!


The Buddha Gates monastery has ordered 1,000 custom iPods engraved with the image of the Buddha. Leander sez: "The Buddhist iPods is a great story but it's an old April Fool's joke. The original story was written by Bryan Chang and posted on "FrostyPlace" a Chinese-language IT news site, on April 1 earlier this year. The image was photoshopped using Apple's product shots and a stock image found on the Web." Link (Chinese-English translation here) Discuss (Thanks, Leander!)
