    You do realize that "The Onion" is satirical news site, right?

    Come on dude! 45 minutes to send an e-mail? 20 minute battery life? $9K+ for the 40GB model? Future model with no screen, hard drive, or wheel? A news anchor saying "just dicking around?" None of these tipped you off?

    Rofl.

    What the heck is wrong with Apple? They keep making things that's useless.
    Why
    -would i spend so much $$ to buy a macbook with no keyboard
    -would i want a circle pad
    -would i want to type a letter in 45mins
    -would i want to type an essay in probably 10 hours

    waste of technology

    that was pretty damn funny, and i'm not much of an onion fan. the predictive sentence completion feature cracked me up, as did "i'll buy anything as long as it's shiny and made by apple". good stuff.

    those responses on this thread depress me. hope you guys were joking.

    "nothing's more simple than a giant button."

    "everything is just a few hundred clicks away."

    In unrelated news, I got kicked out of the local Sony store yesterday for going around and opening www.sony-sucks.com on many of their computers.

    It's true. Sony does suck.
