This is a link post How to upset the fanbois...
Swedish design agency decided to see how easy it was to start a rumour about Apple developing an "asymmetric screw" to keep you out of the hardware. Interesting.

This is a normal post Haha, quality.
The days of proper journalists relying on primary sources for their materials has long gone. But then why not just repeat what everyone else is saying. It's all about 'traffic' these days. It's like the purveyors of this crap have no responsibility over the stories that they spread, as long as they're out there saying it as well. If you've not read Nick Davies' Flat Earth News yet, it's a belter of a book. It'll destroy what little confidence in the media you still have, but that's no great loss, is it?

This is a normal post Hey, Bitchtits. I also recommend "Flat earth News"
It flags in the middle a little but the last chapter on the Daily Mail is outstanding.
I also highly recommend this book.

This is a normal post Knew it wasn't a real design as soon as I saw it
No engineer would create a screw with a round profile thread,

The only point I could see of a screw head like that is one that is destroyed on closing.

This is a normal post You see similar things all the time in public loos
The screw has a head like a straightened-out cam so that you can tighten one with a flat head screwdriver but need a special tool to loosen it. This is pretty much why I figured it was a hoax: there are less moronic ways of making one-way screws.
