Another Mac user here! G5 Dual 2g :)

I noticed that myself. Made me chuckle, although I wrote it off to being literal.

And another (bows) Mac dude.

And I still think it was deliberate in the sense of having two meanings: the helpful one for those wondering about its shininess and a Firefly reference. Although I find the useage and placement of "All shiny" as a reference for the colour of the iPod enclosures a strange one, unless you're an FF fan. Were I writing that description, I would have used "shiny" as an adjective in front of the word colour, as in: ". . . one of five shiny colors" instead of ". . . in one of five trend-setting colors: silver, gold, green, pink or blue. (All shiny.)"

Didn't the phrase "Shiny" first show up in "The Tick" cartoon, because the Tick really really like shiny things.

Mac user, Mac lover.
shiny :)

here's a quote from the tick on shiny things:
"Sorry I haven't been around much. I'm easily distracted by shiny objects."

and from there on, the world was shiny. ;)
