Rahul Sood, the CTO of HP’s gaming systems division (formerly VoodooPC), has found a new use for the MacBook Air: slicing cake.

Handed a MacBook Air as a “present” at his birthday, he wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. So he tested its razor-thinness on the cake.

“It’s so damn sharp, it did a fine job,” he reports. Probably not what the folks at Apple had in mind. PhoneTag CEO James Siminoff was on hand to take this grainy photo.

My only question: Did Sood lick the MacBook afterwards, and can you send us that picture also?
