This is really clever. The reflection seals it
lol actually i think that was just a clever use of laziness seeing its a pic of Jobs at the keynote with Hitlers head pasted on.
Funny nontheless
What a rude ****ing loser. What a POS article, I think he was trying to directly insult every MacBook Air owner - nice journalism bud.
Not trying to derail this into a PRSI kind of issue but MSNBC is not really known for its unbiased journalism.
Funny, seeing as they were supposedly in the tank for Obama/biden.
Even funnier when half the staff at MSNBC uses macs.
^^^^^We are all stupid sheep. No one saw those. It never happened. And if you did, those were test units for review(s).
Some of you guys should hit your local shopping mall this week and see if some sense of humor is on sale - you badly need it.
Maybe it comforts you a bit that the Blackberry folks got an ever stronger broadside from the MSNBC folks. I'm sure that many of my former colleagues would hate the author with a passion for his remarks about Blackberry users. Just like the MacBook Air users here on this forum seem to hate the guy.
However, the descriptions why those seven devices make you look like a jerk could have come straight from Scott Adams' Dilbert cartoons. Sometimes it's hard to laugh about the Dilbert strips because they are depicting corporate fact, not fiction.

There's a good old quote: "If you're going to tell people the truth, you'd better make them laugh. Otherwise they'll kill you."
It's at the beginning of CSA: The Confederate States of America, at least.
Ah, even if you don't agree, I found the concept amusing. Plus I'm annoyed by friends on Blackberries. I get a kick out of Segway cops. Most of the people with pulsing blue ears DO look like they're talking to themselves. And $1799's way more than I'd ever pay for a MBA (personally!).
And I bought my Air at the Jerkstore!
"the jerkstore called, theyre running out of you."
"whats it matter, youre their all time best seller"
the article is pretty accurate. The macbook air is most assuredly a jerk device, which is beaten in nearly every category by the alu macbook. The physical dimensions of the macbook air is nice and so is the screen, but the price is really high for such a limited device. Add 1.5 pounds to the macbook air's weight you get a device that is much more portable imo. The air is cool but is really is a fashion statement.
I don't think everyone that owns it is a jerk but as a jerk device it is owned by more jerks. I don't think the article said anything about mercs and everyone knows that beemer drivers are the jerk car owners
What makes it a jerk device?
