<p>Remember that classic Sesame Street song “Everyone Makes Mistakes”? Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too? Well even Apple does too, at least in regards to their website stock photos.</p>

<p>In an amusing <a href="http://store.apple.com/us_edu_417940/product/H5105LL/A">picture featured on the Apple Store’s Parallels Desktop 6 page</a>, the Parallels USB installer stick is jammed into, well, the Ethernet port, which is several ports away from the proper USB location on a unibody MacBook Pro 15″ model. Oops. </p>

<p>This is almost as funny as the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/30/ipad-engraving-error-ascii-cat/">four-eared cat engraved on the iPad</a>. I’m sure the image will get fixed quickly, and to be fair, this could be a generic product shot provided by Parallels or a third party, so it may not be Apple’s mistake at all. </p>

<p><em>Thanks for sending this in Scott</em></p>
