That's great, wonder how it got there?
When you install OS X on any Mac that has a built-in webcam it takes a photo of the person sitting at the computer and uses that photo as the ~user login icon, which is also copied into Address Book along with the name, address, phone, info that was provided during the setup process. It's strange that Apple places small arrows beside some of the setup/registration info fields and seems to indicate that these fields are "required", but in reality you can skip or leave everything blank except the "short name", which is the only requirement (yes, you can not have a password, i.e. <blank> password field, but it still requires you to hit a <Return> or <Enter> rather than just skipping the password process). I think the installer actually asks about taking a picture, but the default state is to take the photo, and it happens when you press "Continue", so some people probably don't notice when it happens.
