The first image is good because the calculator is squared up with the screen and the contrast levels are even. The second image is not so good and IMHO gives away the secret. First, it shows the calculator rotated counterclockwise a few degrees. This made it very clear the calculator was very likely just a printout of a calculator held in the left hand. Second, the right hand of the second image is darker than the left hand which leads me to believe it's a composite. I think the calculator and left hand were photographed with the right hand holding the camera; the image is displayed on the computer, and then the right hand points at the calculator while the left hand takes the final photograph.

I've seen a bunch of explanations and the ones that seem to have no flaws are those that explain it like this. You've got a laptop. You take a picture with a normal digital camera of your hand pretending to hold something; this is how the hand can extend outside of the edge of the computer. It is a picture of your hand, the laptop, and a little bit of the surrounding area. Now you take this picture and put it on the desktop of a different computer. This would mean the edge of the laptop shown in the pictures above is only the image of the edge of the original laptop. Now bring up calculator, and move it so it looks like you're holding it, and point at the screen. Take a picture with a normal camera, and crop out the sides of the second computer, so you can't tell that two computers were used. Any flaws in there? Okay well I think I’ve got it.

You take a picture with your hand in front of your ocmputer screen so your thumb is over the top of the screen. then you set that as your desctop and it will look like your computer inside of your computer with a hand in front. Then you open calculator and place it on the hand so it looks like the hand is holding it. Then you take a picture of your desktop of just the computer your hand and the calculator and it will look like you are holding the calculator infront of it.
