That’s right: The Macworld Expo Survival Kit (gas mask optional!).

But we’re not bitter, so here’s the picture below of the new feature:

We love those clever cartoon dudes–Nitrozac and Snaggy–over at Geek Culture’s Joy of Tech, so much that we hope to showcase them more on the AllThingsD site in the future.
