Appearing on the front page of the Taiwan edition of today’s [Apple Daily](http://twimg.edgesuite.net//images/twapple/640pix/20120915/LN01/LN01_003.jpg) (the same guys who bring you Taiwanese news videos). In the print edition, the graphic is cut off on the right border just behind the first bulge in Uncle Sam’s hose, if you can dig it.

For those that get 403 Forbidden, the host site prevents deep linking, the way around it is to copy+paste the url instead of clicking the link.

Or just get rid of the double slash in the middle of the link after you click on it.
