David Beckham must be the happiest boy on the England squad seeing as he has just been presented with a new golden apple product. The English team members pitched in to buy him a special present for achieving his 100th cap for his country. David Beckham who is just 32, has already played in his 100th game for England last week against France. Although the game was a friendly, he still came away with a prize in Paris. These pieces of machinery can go for over $20,000. And here is the fine piece of gold

If you have suddenly become unhappy with your desktop wallpaper, why not try something more creative. Make your own !

more of these can be seen here, sadly they are not all Macs, so you have been warned !
