l33t-speak is so far off my radar that I was wondering if there was some hot startup called '4 people 3' or somesuch. I doubt anyone at Apple remotely cares about l33t-speak from a branding perspective.

To be fair, I don't think I know anyone who "cares" about l33t speak.

H4xx0r j0k3s is all it is.

I never seen anyone go out of their way to defend or use leet speak all day long.

In some countries, it's the best that can be done for vanity car registration plates.

e.g. a site selling them in the UK is promoting "JO66 ERX", which is probably supposed to be read as "Jogger X". Current bid £750, for some reason.
