MacBook Airror

Apparently some audio can't be turned up to F11.

[John @ May 22nd 2008 12:08AM]

wow... just think, if I had not checked engadget one last time before getting some sleep, I might have missed this development.

There but for the grace of God...

[imacmatt09 @ May 22nd 2008 12:19AM]

I have a feeling this photo was taken at the apple store and the Macbook air next to it has two F11 keys now....

[K @ May 22nd 2008 12:29AM]

truth above me, this is just the f10 key from another air put in place of the volume down button (volume down has a small sound wave coming from it). My guess it it was someone doing it as say a joke not an apple manufactory mistake. However I did enjoy the pun and all the bitching was pretty enjoyable too

[The Dude @ May 22nd 2008 12:36AM]

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. This is the kind of news I live for.


...
But srsly.
It's a blog. Lower your expectations down to "Dismal."

[V3LOCIP3D3 @ May 22nd 2008 1:39AM]

many a day have i stumbled upon two f10 keys, rarely when i'm sober . . so this is a very exciting moment for me

[Preston Ursini @ May 22nd 2008 1:59AM]

Step 1: Switch out F keys
Step 2: Claim it is a rare manufacturing error, post on eBay
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

[BuddyBoy @ May 22nd 2008 3:38AM]

I think this was posted simply cause it rather amusing especially with the caption underneath.

Remember this is a blog! not a news site, people need to lighten up!

[ben @ May 22nd 2008 7:19AM]

Clearly Apple has reinvented the keyboard. The lack of a lower volume button will bring back a sense of teen-like wonder as everyone with everyone listening to music as loud as mechanically possible. I for one, congratulate the engineers at Cupertino for this revolution in sound level technology.

[dck @ May 22nd 2008 12:09AM]

Bah! Manufacturing error....

*goes back to sleep*

[brando_commando @ May 22nd 2008 12:52AM]

Some posts are made simply for the hilarity of the comments. If you can't see that, we all prefer you sleeping.

In other news, Bill Brasky killed Wolfgang Hunt with a trident.

[Jordan @ May 22nd 2008 12:09AM]

OH MY GOD! APPLE ISN'T PERFECT! Call the presses! Gather the masses! Send out the cavalry!

[peekinde @ May 22nd 2008 12:11AM]

u sir r lame,

thats like getting 2 thumbs on the same hand

[Waveblade @ May 22nd 2008 12:12AM]

Way to be defensive :D

[E71 @ May 22nd 2008 12:12AM]

Gum is perfection.

[JLTate @ May 22nd 2008 12:19AM]

WITHOUT F11 I DONT THINK IT CAN PLAY DOOM!!!11

[Jordan @ May 22nd 2008 12:22AM]

...Doom jokes are a little old, don't you think?

[walli @ May 22nd 2008 11:37AM]

only losers use "u" and "r" while typing

[Matt @ May 22nd 2008 12:38AM]

Oh the irony :D

[JLTate @ May 22nd 2008 1:03AM]

But... but... Jordan's profile icon had the Doom logo... My comment was at least mildly relevant at the time... :(

[Le Master @ May 22nd 2008 10:04AM]

I love you JLTate. Scissor?

[Zed @ May 22nd 2008 12:10AM]

i can sleep now. thank your for this revolutionary journalism.

[Chicksta @ May 22nd 2008 12:10AM]

Well maybe they just made 10 louder and made ten the highest number...

[Wally @ May 22nd 2008 12:13AM]

hooray spinal tap

[Wiigee @ May 22nd 2008 1:27AM]

...........these go to F11.

[r3loaded @ May 22nd 2008 2:31AM]

Spinal Tap is soooo passé....mine goes up to F12!! Beat that!

Oh wait...

[Jack @ May 22nd 2008 4:38AM]

mine goes all the way from F1 to G18! beat that!

[Tracy in Cary @ May 22nd 2008 2:20PM]

Mine goes from B1 all the way to O89. Beat that!!!

Oh wait... It's just a bingo card. Never mind.

[hrt @ May 22nd 2008 12:11AM]

Does it make me a noob if I don't get this at all?

[Jordan @ May 22nd 2008 12:12AM]

Yes.

[Jordan @ May 22nd 2008 12:12AM]

No.

[Wolfticket @ May 22nd 2008 12:18AM]

Maybe? I don't know. Can you repeat the question?

[LegendZ28 @ May 22nd 2008 12:36AM]

There's nothing to get, so no.

[Wiigee @ May 22nd 2008 1:29AM]

yes.
Spinal Tap, google it.

[hrt @ May 22nd 2008 1:31AM]

Oh, I know that joke, I have the motivational; It's older then the internet. I just don't get what in the picture relates.

[Young_Optimus @ May 22nd 2008 11:42AM]

If I'm reading your comments right, you get the Spinal Tap references but not the relevance of the picture? If that's true, then follow the steps below:

1.) LOOK at the picture
2.) Notice there are TWO F10 keys
3.) Look at your own keyboard
4.) Notice that there is only ONE F10 and ONE F11
5.) Laugh at the oversight, then return to sleep.

[Rogue_Genius @ May 22nd 2008 11:44AM]

+1 to wolfticket for the Malcolm reference. If I could reply to your reply, I would.

Well played.

[ian @ May 24th 2008 4:25PM]

yes

[Lein @ May 22nd 2008 12:11AM]

Someone needs to suspend somebody's license to blog.

Next we'll be reading about a new purple sweater. Or vacation photos.

[MeatyPi @ May 22nd 2008 12:14AM]

or their trip to the Apple store and the fantabulous service they received.

[Autopsy15 @ May 22nd 2008 12:36AM]

So...basically Kotaku?

[Jayden @ May 22nd 2008 12:12AM]

ZOMG APPLE MADE A MISTAKE

ZOMG
ZOMG
ZOMG

lets write a whole blog post to let everyone know...

[Wally @ May 22nd 2008 12:13AM]

Can't you just make the 11 spot 10, like on every other amp, and it be just as loud?
But.... This one goes up to eleven.

[jazir @ May 22nd 2008 12:14AM]

wow a tiny manufacturing error. whoopee

[Jason G. @ May 22nd 2008 12:14AM]

Hypocritical commenters. First to complain about Engadget's journalism, then they return on Apple keynote days for some of the best coverage in the industry.

[JLTate @ May 22nd 2008 12:17AM]

I consistently bitch about Engadget's love for all things Apple, thank you very much.

[Jason G. @ May 22nd 2008 12:20AM]

Then you're an idiot. Shut your trap and go for Engadget without Apple news.

[Gnaget @ May 22nd 2008 12:21AM]

I think there is some validity to this being a completely un-noteworthy event to blog. I am surprised they wrote about it myself. Someone must be stoned tonight

[Jason G. @ May 22nd 2008 12:24AM]

For what it's worth, I agree this is pretty lame. At least it wasn't in the middle of the day. I just don't see any reason for people to bitch about Apple news. However, bitching about LAME "news" is perfectly acceptable.

[JLTate @ May 22nd 2008 1:01AM]

You are absolutely correct: Why remember the word "engadget" when it's so much more convenient to remember "NruNDIYf3BGe7iZ_l7okhQ"? I humbly bow to your (needlessly angry and scathing) wisdom.

[Jason G. @ May 22nd 2008 1:52AM]

Bookmarks, heard of 'em?
