Giant iPod Spotted from Orbit

Just how did the giant iPod end up on Google Maps? Well, apparently Steve Jobs won an abandoned mineral mine (western Australia) from billionare Kerry Packer a couple years back, in a poker game, and wanted the first advertisement to be visible from space built there.

Guy, he's joking. Steve Jobs didn't build it. Get over it.
