It's an Easter Egg in the OS somewhere...
I've seen this somewhere...
Here�s to the crazy ones.
��The misfits.
����The rebels.
������The troublemakers.
��������The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They�re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can�t do is ignore them.
������Because they change things.
�
They invent.����They imagine.����They heal.
��They explore.����They create.����They inspire.
����They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that�s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
�
While some see them as the crazy ones,
���we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

If you dont know where this is from, you're not a true Apple advocate.
it's from a "Think Different" commercial. It was narrated as pictures of "Think Different" inductees (Picasso, Ansel Adams, etc). It was a very moving commercial. You can usually find it at www.themacad.com.

It's a commercial.
it was also an Easter Egg in OS X DP3.
In the Finder, go to "About this Computer" while holding some modifiers (I believe Option + Command).
You will get a window with a Graphite Apple logo on the regular striped plastic (as on the side of a G4) with the poem scrolling, fading in at the bottom and fading out at the top of the window.
