If he really did buy a Macbook Air and he really did allow himself to get injured to protect it - THEN HE IS AN IDIOT.]]>Mar 18th 2008 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
Who'd have thought they were telling the truth when they said they fell. I still think it's hard to fall on your eye :P.

The guy in this article is an idiot. I'm sure he makes more than enough money to buy a new one. ]]>Mar 18th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
Do you even know who Charlie Rose is? You're the fucking idiot.]]>Mar 18th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/

On another note, I've smacked my knee a hundred times while trying to keep electronics from hitting the ground. Never my eye though...how is that even possible? Nose? Sure. Eye? Give me a break. To hit your eye, the only way I can imagine, is if both hands are above your head, holding the macbook air as you face plant with one side of your face pointed down, which then magically hits the corner of something, right in your eye. That scenario makes him a complete idiot, because that type of fall right on your face could mean thousands of dollars in reconstructive surgery later :p not to mention that you'd look like a complete moron during.


Wow...bravo sir...protecting a replaceable (insurance?) piece of electronical equipment, that you could probably say is a business purchase anyway....instead of your own face.]]>Mar 19th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/

I don't understand a damn thing.

Sorry if this offends you, Thomas Ricker, but you've got bad puns and allusions out the wa-zoo. One would think this is crap like The Inquirer.]]>Mar 18th 2008 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
Basically... Guy trips, protects macbook air instead of his face.

If I were him, I say screw the notebook - just buy another one on his way to work.]]>Mar 18th 2008 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
that's probably why they have money: because they're not going to just willfully throw it away.

besides, would a brand new computer have all his data on it? your "if i were him" has no base in reality at all.]]>Mar 18th 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
And seriously, it's not like he was horribly maimed, he has a bruised eye that'll heal up in no time.]]>Mar 18th 2008 3:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/

There must be a better way to portray Apple products in good light for no reason. Engadget is simply hunting for far-fetched excuses.]]>Mar 18th 2008 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
A - How does this portray Apple products in a good light?

B - This is an unusual story involving a famous gadget and a famous person... sounds blog-worthy to me. You are reading a gadget blog, not CNN.com's tech page.

C - Something tells me that if this story was about how Natalie Portman lost an iPhone in her vagina, not as many people would be complaining here.]]>Mar 18th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/The first one being getting one at all.]]>Mar 18th 2008 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/

It hurt alot, my camera was unharmed, so I guess it was worth it, even if it took me 2 months to recover..

I'd probably would have done the same thing.

I don't care how much money you make, i think the vast majority of people would answer the same to the question: "would you rather have me smash your $2k laptop with all your data on it, or punch you in the eye?"

doesn't seem like a tough question to me. (...you know, if it's not someone known to kill people with a single punch.)]]>Mar 18th 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/Mar 18th 2008 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/charlie-rose-sacrifices-face-for-macbook-air/
But since his laptop was obviously closed... maybe not. Who knows.

Ask yourself a simple question.

If this was a Dell or an HP or a Lenovo or any other laptop or product other than one from Apple, would Thomas Ricker even have bothered posting this?

Give it a break, if a prominent personality on TV like a Charlie Rose got bruised-up trying to save a gadget, Engadget would cover it.
