Oh I thought this was a project name from Apple Computer. These guys have made people mad before with a project codenamed "Sagan". Carl Sagan sued and they renamed it to project "BHA" for Butt Head Astronomer. So he sued again..

At least they're offended by it, and not using it as a symbol of conquered land.

Why don't all these easily-offended Muslims just go back where they came from, where there aren't any buildings, stores, bars, coffee shops, technology, or anything else modern to "offend" them.

It also resembles a Rubik's Cube without the stickers.. Should nerds be insulted too?

Yep, it's a plot. Non-Muslims all over the world sit around all day thinking up ways to insult them.

Is there anything that DOESN'T offend Muslims, other than murdering anybody who doesn't agree with them? (That was a rhetorical question)

IslamoFeces get enraged at ANYTHING.
Islam is not a religion. It is a form of institutionalized homicidal paranoid schizophrenia.
To: absalom01
Mohameddans are offended?
I am shocked, truly and deeply shocked!
....or it could be one of those days ending in "y".

Apple's marketing has been the black box with a white apple for a number of years. At the trade shows, their area is walled off with black walls. I've worked with Apple at the shows and have never heard their marketing scheme called "mecca."
