That is retarded. I couldn't live without a keyboard. Who wants to scroll to each letter? That's a stupid idea. I appreciate them trying to find something new but meh.

Sad thing is, this sounds like something Apple would do, however thankfully this is the 0nion, and thusly this video is just a joke.

I think the ONE time I was fooled temporarily by a fake article was Game Informer's annual Game Infarcer when it was talking about Madden 08 and how people would have to pay real money to use everything in the game, like the football, jersey, etc.

It's a gutsy move, but we can adjust. After you write your first 2-hour e-mail, you'll get much more used to it. The only weakness is battery life; I would've liked to see a full 25 minutes, but I can live with 20.

It's been awhile since I've been to their site, I didn't recognize it at all.

I laughed. It is something Apple would do. If you didn't think it was farcical at the end when they mentioned "has no use in an actual buisness because people are actually off their asses doing real work" then nothing can help you.

hahah, I didn't watch it that long. I caught like the first few seconds of the video then closed it, due to Raw.

The only time I was faked out by a fake piece of news was two times:
1) The reported strain of malaria that cause people to die and then their corpse reanimated(cause damn it, I'm willing to accept anything that can lead to zombies) 2) Before Far Cry: Instincts Predator came out on the Xbox 360, Ubisoft ran an two page ad in gaming magazines that looked like a genuine article about the game and has almost no signs of being an ad.

This is indeed something Apple would do, make a computer less a computer Despite this being a joke, sadly, the Macfags would be masturbating all over this

Man, before clicking on the link, I totally thought this was real. It's something Apple would do.
It'll be especially funny when they somehow make this work without it sucking.

Am I the only one who's confused as to why "this is something Apple would do"?
Sure. They've done some really stupid excretory matter, but really so has every other major(and minor) business.
EDIT: I'm no mac mark, but my sis has a mac, she likes it. Same with my friend. I've had the same Ipod since 05, and its worked like a charm

EDIT: I'm no mac mark, but my sis has a mac, she likes it. Same with my friend. I've had the same Ipod since 05, and its worked like a charm Well let's put it like this. Apple is always trying to innovate technology in some way. Such as the spin wheel on the iPod, and then the touchscreen + accelerometer combo of the iPhone and iPod Touch. They also continue to make the MacBook smaller and smaller, and now they even released an environmentally friendly MacBook! So them adding the spin wheel from the iPod to the MacBook is something that one would expect Apple to do, and honestly I would be shocked if we never see a MacBook that is without a physical keyboard. And the only logical ways for Apple to do that is to either put the spin wheel on, or a touch screen.

I liked the 'predictive sentence' feature. I don't know how many times I've had to type "The aardvark asked for a dagger" and pulled a muscle typing the double-a.
EDIT: ooooo, a battery life of almost 20 minutes!
