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. That was my favorite part of the whole video. "The abortion went well." |

I have said this before, and I will say this again.
The Onion is awesome.
PS Go watch The Onion Movie. I can wait.

My favorite part was one of the sentence predictions being "the abortion went well".

Man this gave me a good laugh, a battery that can now last 19 minutes before charging. A sentence predictor, how it took the guy 45 minutes to send an e-mail... all said in a positive tone.
Gold.

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 Well, Mac seems to have a thing for giving their computers completely impractical features. I'm pretty sure they came up with a square mouse at some point and either way, they still insist on keeping mouses with only one button for some reason. I'd also like to understand what is the point of having their scrolling menus split in two parts, one part being on top of the screen and the other part at the bottom of the screen (and I'm not talking about the menus in the windows, just the basic menu that you see when you boot your computer and see your desktop. That's why i really hate using Macs. Their computers COULD be good, but they're so damn unpractical and needlessly complicated. So yes, that's something they'd do, and they'd try to convince us that it's way easier to use than a keyboard. |

That's why i really hate using Macs. Their computers COULD be good, but they're so damn unpractical and needlessly complicated. Yeah, the first mice were rectangles, but I think you're thinking of the puck like mouse they debuted with the iMac, which was... weird. It's funny watching Steve Jobs shill the thing. And now they have the Mighty Mouse! That can right click, but there's no button. So, I guess the only reason why Apple refused to add the right click was because they thought it made the mouse look ugly, or un-mac like (or, ugly). |

I guess certain people just think Apple loves to be so different, they'll do absolutely ANYTHING to achieve it. Or they just hate apple and macs, for some stupid, lame ass reason. |

It's because macs are riding their reputation that they've had since the 90s that they're better for creative applications, when nowadays there's really no difference. It's just a question of becoming accustomed to a certain user interface. That, and the wonderfully smug commercials they keep putting out. |

"I'll buy anything that's shiney and made by Apple...."
"I like how the e-mail tells people its sent from a MacBook Wheel....so they know you own one."
"It remains to be seen if the MacBook wheel will catch on in the Business World where people actually work, and not just dicking around."
I love The Onion and I know people who are like what they're skewering. Hilarious.
Reminded me to go buy Our Dumb World, too.

I know, my sentiments exactly. But why HATE it? It's a computer, for f***s sake. I'm not talking about people who don't like macs. I'm talking about those who HATE it macs, just because it's an apple product. Then again, I don't get the die-hard apple fanboys either! |

Why do people get in fights over graphics cards, CPUs, computer cases or anything else? Why do people get in fights over cars? Why do people get in fights over cell phone providers? Because they're stupid and decided that they'll waste their lives over such meaningless crap instead of just buying what suits them and enjoying it. For whatever reason, humans got designed with a flaw that makes them have to justify their purchasing decisions on message boards and other forums of communication by fighting a Holy War against made up enemies and/or rivals who didn't do the same thing they did. |

Hey, I'm not an Apple hater. *cough*I own a MacBook, an iPod Shuffle, an iPod Nano, and a iPod Touch*cough* I'm just pointing out the kind of moves Apple likes to make. my so many ipods? The only one I actually bought myself was the Shuffle. First one I bought. I got the Nano for Christmas one year, and the Touch I got from Apple's "heading off to college" promotion during the 08 summer where anyone who bought a Mac or MacBook could get either an iPod Nano or an iPod Touch(you got to choose). So two of them were free for me. |
