whist we're on the topic of joke devices, who'd like to see the Motorola iTunes phone make a comeback this Macworld? anyone? 😛

I'm glad someone else noticed that. Seeing it click down during the video was so cool.
Pretty good parody. The Onion rocks! 🙂
You know, just for the fun of it, I would love to have that model and go use it different places to see the faces people make. 😀
It would be funny if something like this was actually introduced somewhere along the line...
...a sign of Apple's slow descent into Consumerism... in 20 years time, Windows will be the "niche", where people turn to if they want customisability, a better operating system, and matte screens.

It doesn't have Firewire..... it's scandalous. Apple are abandoning the Pros again.
I won't buy it thats for sure.
Unless... is it shiny?

That's the MacBook Wheel Pro. It also comes with a backlit wheel at no extra charge for $1,000.00.
I think the funniest part was,
"And the computer is virtually unbreakable unless dropped or hit."

You know what's funny about the Onion even though they lampoon and parody news, they tend to be right most of the time.
Apple is in fact coming out with a laptop with no keyboard, although instead of the scroll wheel, it will be touch. Perhaps this video showcased Apple's secret project.
Anyhow, I was in stitches the whole time watching the parody. FTW Onion! 😀

I think the predictive text could be quite usable. These are the kind of phrases I use almost every day...
I love the suggested sentences in the dropdown.
Anyway, I'm not getting it until the Macbook Wheel Pro comes out.

My favorite was the on-screen quote near the end:
"Jobs: People who use keyboards are standing in the way of human progress"

love the onion!
I think the best part was at the very end. The "up next" about the sudoko killer. 😀
