Long-term readers may recall the strange case of Microsoft's "rock-in-a-box" anti-piracy campaign, apparently exhorting honest citizens to stone to death those involved in disseminating illicit copies of Redmond apps.

Here too. Readers are invited to suggest what exactly is the symbolic meaning of the mysterious cardboard laptop. ®
