X-Cop Fly Company

You might have heard of computer supplier Newegg accidentally shipping computer builders boxed “processors”.

This is no ordinary counterfeit import issue – I found a nice article describing the shipments – the CPU was a piece of lead, with a sticker of a fan attached to a “heatsink” piece of molded plastic. And, of course, the usual translation issues.

Check out the article at PCMag’s Gearlog for pictures of this early April Fool’s joke.
