A message or a warning?

In an extreme case of ignorance being bliss, the entirety of Earth appears to have been blinded to the appearance and re-appearance of one man's name through all Mac time and history: Daniel Jalkut.

It is said his name appears within System 7 (codenamed Big Bang and widely known to be the Mac OS most vulnerable to ripples in the time-space continuum), MarsEdit, FlexTime, Black Ink, and has even been spotted hanging about all over red-sweater.com, twitter, and the likes of Facebook.

The mysterious appellation was also seen to appear simultaneously on computers of all Mac users who were installing Security Update 2008-002 at the time and had been spotted floating about the world for years prior, appearing as early as 1974, as much as 10 years prior to the introduction of Macintosh.

Jalkut himself seems to have gone to great lengths to obscure the facts of the case, going so far as to blank out his biography page on imdb.com, leaving in his wake a mere mention of his tantalizing appearance Trekkies 2.

Insiders theorize that Jalkut may be using the power of dilithium crystals to push his name through folds in space and time to make it appear at his will.

Those in the know also acknowledge his name appears in neat lettering on the inner waistband of his underpants.
