CALIFORNIA (OCN) — Apple just announced to a packed forum of select-trendsetters in a secret location in SF’s most exclusive venue that they are changing the color of the packing peanuts used on iPads.

As a breathless hush descended on the audience Tim Cook announced that this revolutionary move would further distance them from the ‘me too’ Samsung crowd and reflects the core design ideals that lie at the heart of Apple’s ecosystem.

Wild cheering ensued and a gray-market sprang up in reselling ‘prior-owned’ peanuts. Apple stock shot up.
