Sony and Apple form like Voltron and PS3 is the head?

All week there has been a quiet rumor floating around that on the Official US PlayStation site, the infamous Apple logo flashed over the image of the PS3 for just a second as the site loads. In this instance as odd as it may sound the rumor was true.

But what does this mean? Checking the Official US PlayStation 3 website now reinforces the original idea that this was all just a slip-up. The site no longer flashes the Apple logo, and the smoke that accompanied the image in the background is now gone. Today a video that shows just what's going on behind the scenes of the flash file popped up thanks to the keen use of a flash decompiler program, when contacted about the phantom logo Sony's PR people were apparently just as surprised at the appearance of the logo as the rest of us.

There are theories floating around the inter-web about what happened, everything from viral marketing tactics by Sony and Apple to thoughts that Sony may have used a trial version of Apple's "Shake" and forgot to remove the watermark, what ever the case it was great hearing some PS3 rumbling going on that weren't negative...
