MacBook Wheel

Total joke, but totally gets at the heart of many complaints about Apple.  Personally, I think their innovation and implied contempt for the stiff-shirted business world are refreshing, which is one of the reasons I own a Mac.  But that position leaves them open for ridicule, and nobody ridicules quite as well as The Onion.

That was pretty funny, well done too. I generally like apple products but the people that buy apple products just because everyone else has one is what annoys me. Especially like the iTouch. Pretty much every person I know wants one, even if they already have a superior (in sound quality) MP3 player

The cool thing about neat gadgets is that they are pretty neat.  An iPod Touch would not meet my mp3 needs, but they are damn fun to play with anyway.

What Apple needs is an iApp that uses military grade voice recognition. Then you could just talk to your computer.

Apples cost enough anyway. That should come standard. I wonder if there is any No Such Agency or Female Body Inspectors voice recognition software on a torrent somwhere.

Just hope that Microsoft does not port their speech recognition utility to OSX
