1.5ghz Mac mini in the wild?

Reader David sent in this tip via email earlier today. Apparently, he received a 1.5ghz Mac mini from Apple, in a box that described it as having a 1.42ghz processor.  He writes,"I just set up my coworker's new Mac mini, and discovered that it has a 1.5 Ghz processor, 64meg Radeon 9200, and 8x superdrive. Not sure if Bluetooth has been upgraded or not. The box lists it as a 1.42 Ghz model, but the system profiler says otherwise."

Take a look at the screenshot above, as well as what follows the jump. Is it the real thing? Photoshopping? Overclocked? A simple glitch in the System Profiler? We report, you decide.
