I know I trot this out every April Fool's Day, but it truly is one of the best pranks that's ever been caught on film. Bryant here is in for the scare of his life.

As much as I want to believe that this photo of an Apple netbook (appropriately titled Macbook Mini) is real, I'm betting that these are just some seriously Photoshopped images meant to fool us all into jumping on board.
