Site gives you info on your Mac vis Serial Number
#1
Looks like someone's figured out how to extract information from the serial number of your Mac.

If you go to this site, and then enter the serial number of your Mac (found under the Apple Menu: About this Mac: More Info: Hardware), it'll spit out a few pieces of info.

Not quite sure if there'd be any value to this, but there you go.

We should have a button for a list of handy "Tech-Sites" with a little explanation on what it is for.

all the side does it attempt to decode the Apple serial number. It doesn't always work. Register your serial number with Apple instead.
