It's parody. It's legal.

All the links go back to Apple, it exactly duplicates (is a copy of) Apple's pages, and does not explicitly state it's parody. (Though there is a comment waaaaay down at the very very bottom.)

Nonetheless, it's legal. Links don't matter (I'd think Apple would be happy for any and all exposure they could get), and it is clear that it isn't official (it's stated right on the page - location doesn't matter).

Maybe it uses the iCore system (internal nuclear reactor core)?

The i4 commercial was the best with Bill Gates and the blue screen of death. ROTFL

I particularly like the graphics performance:

The GeForce4 has 73 million transistors, and can perform 96.3 billion floating point calculations per second. Translation: you kill three enemies before the light from the screen reaches your eyes.

As long as it's not from the Church of Satan. They 'think (too) different'. I think this has been discussed here somewhere before, though.
