Looks like Apple Official site? If you are carefully enough, then you will notice the logo is not an Apple with a bit, but a pear. More info after the break.

The knockoff portal is opened by a Chinese online game company named Giant Network (巨人网络), and the company decided to use it as their official website for one of its famous online game “Zhengtu 2”.

There are concept shots of iPod, iPad, iMac, Macbook Air and some other iproducts displayed on the website, but the company does not intend to sell any of them. Their core message is to promote its online game “Zhengtu 2″. I was confused when I visited the page at the first time, as I expected it is selling knockoff Apple products or Apple products from the grey market.

Brief background of Giant Network’s founder — Shi Yuzhu (image above on the left)
Shi YuZhu used to be a successful entrepreneur who ranked No.8 in Forbes rich list, but he faced a significantly large failure, caused him to lose $2.5 billion yuan at one night. He did not give up due to the failure he had, the company comeback and makes him is one of the billionaire entrepreneur in China.
The experience that he had is quite similar to what Steve Jobs been through, only in a different scenario. Success – Failure – Comeback. So is this knockoff website a salute to Steve Jobs? Will Apple sue the website?
