Onion FTW!

Instead of Jobs saying that people were "standing in the way of human progress," they should have said that Steve Jobs was quoted as saying that keyboards were a "bag of hurt".

[Jonyah @ Jan 5th 2009 10:07PM]

this made my day. the funny thing is that if they actually did this, they'd have lines of people waiting to buy one. I'll take two of the ones with 40gb for nearly 10k each!!!!

[Pip @ Jan 5th 2009 10:21PM]

Fuckin' Hilarious, simply put.

[RoboDan @ Jan 5th 2009 10:58PM]

Me like Onion

It's funny

[John @ Jan 5th 2009 11:05PM]

There is so much greatness in this video! The promo poster headlines and the box design with the wheel spotlight underneath the laptop are so perfectly Apple. Bravo!

[Alex @ Jan 5th 2009 11:18PM]

@brandon:

Not funny. Just stupid and disgusting.

[霽月瀛台 @ Jan 5th 2009 11:22PM]

so it takes a minute to type an URL?

[CleverEndeavor @ Jan 5th 2009 11:40PM]

You know, this would be a very great product, hell, it could even beat windows because that what apple does--innovate!
\sarcasm

[a ham sandwich @ Jan 5th 2009 11:52PM]

damn! they put a LOT of work into that! bravo! golf claps, onion network, golf claps.

[Mecreyes @ Jan 13th 2009 10:42AM]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha...

well captured idolatry! oh our dumb world....

[Lego @ Jan 6th 2009 12:03AM]

rofl...."the aardvark admitted it was wrong."

[Sardonic @ Jan 6th 2009 12:20AM]

A lot of work for a joke, but just damn good stuff. Should take a poll to see how much time it took for anyone to say "yea right". Took me till just about the time I hit "submit" on my amazon order for $2600 for the damn thing.
Ok, now I want to see a poll of how many people went and search amazon for it. :)

[ONN FTW Yes @ Jan 6th 2009 12:25AM]

I second that. Love this line....."The Macbook Wheel is virtually unbreakable unless hit or dropped"..haha

[Poom @ Jan 6th 2009 12:40AM]

I was a bit worried this is real at first because the video is so well made!!! Now I think I'm stupid...

[xValentine @ Jan 6th 2009 7:51AM]

ROFL.

I bet some people believed this.

[jle2199 @ Jan 6th 2009 3:51PM]

Wait... so, the doing away of the laptop makes it so you have to search for the letter, and then your sentence, if said sentence exists?

Sounds like a lot more work than it's worth....

[jaime @ Jan 6th 2009 8:28PM]

I hate all things apple.
I thought this was real because i found it somewhere else. I realized it was not real looking at these comments.
Apple could actually make this and it's idiotic followers would rapidly eat them up.
Sorry but its true! hence it took me a few secs to realize it was a very well made prank

[FilmGuy @ Jan 15th 2009 3:49PM]

What can I say this was by far the best "Spoof" I have ever seen and coming from the Onion Network they play it to the bone.
All I can say is "Job Well Done on Steve Jobs."

I am getting two when they go on sale...........

[nsdcx @ Jan 5th 2009 9:52PM]

lol "keybroads"

[Flashpoint @ Jan 5th 2009 10:09PM]

Had the ipod touch not had a virtual keyboard - THIS is what you'd have gotten !

[sj.lee36bc @ Jan 5th 2009 10:48PM]

I WANT IT!

[joe23521 @ Jan 5th 2009 11:04PM]

MacBook Wheel, the perfect gift for the keybroads in your life.

[Newone @ Jan 6th 2009 6:13AM]

Think how funny this will be, if apple releases iPhone nano with wheel :)

[Patriks7 @ Jan 6th 2009 7:06AM]

Haha yeah xD
This is thing pure genius!

MacBook wheel 8GB

Typing an e-mail

[manray @ Jan 5th 2009 9:54PM]

[Cargo Jack @ Jan 5th 2009 9:54PM]

Like the girls in South Florida, the Wheel is pretty, very pretty but dumb

[dandaman @ Jan 5th 2009 11:01PM]

my mom's from south florida. wait....

[Ahmedz @ Jan 5th 2009 9:54PM]

[Alex @ Jan 5th 2009 9:55PM]

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.

[finnith @ Jan 5th 2009 9:56PM]

Hilarious.

[garrenteed @ Jan 5th 2009 10:01PM]

did you really laugh?

[dark star @ Jan 5th 2009 10:27PM]

i did laugh! because i know there are suckers who would buy it. people bought the macbook air didnt they?
for around the same price, they coulda bought something better and weights lighter from toshiba or lenovo, maybe not as thin.

[Rosario @ Jan 5th 2009 11:07PM]

I didnt really laugh at the wheel but I lol at the Sudoku killer, that was unexpectedly funny.

[CraigJ @ Jan 5th 2009 11:53PM]

the last time I checked the x300 is more, not less expensive than the MBA.

[thatfenderstratguy @ Jan 6th 2009 3:20AM]

@darkstar

Yeah... Toshiba.... and Lenovo.... because everyone wants deep down inside are masochists begging for a piece of Vista ass-rape pain.

Toshiba ought to stick to fridges and freezers, Lenovo should join them.

It's like the fool buying cheaper shoes Because They Were CHEAP. They fall apart in a year, and you have to buy new ones or fix them.

I welcome my low ranking like a martyr!

[Constantine @ Jan 6th 2009 10:25AM]

@thatfenderstratguy

lol, just how long do expect shoes to last? nice analogy, buddy...

[emilo_O @ Jan 5th 2009 9:56PM]

LMAO! wow that would make typing impossible :S

[rpahk @ Jan 5th 2009 10:28PM]

and typing mistakes!

[Kiza @ Jan 5th 2009 11:14PM]

That's what the predictive sentence technology is for!

[Shinigami @ Jan 6th 2009 1:32AM]

"...spent 45 minutes typing an e-mail to a friend" xD

[Jack @ Jan 5th 2009 9:57PM]

That Zack guy or w/e who got to play with it is Clak!

[clak (im really not 'ocean', HONEST!!!!!!!) 84th account STOP BANNING ME @ Jan 5th 2009 11:07PM]

[Rob Conway @ Jan 5th 2009 10:25PM]

I don't know what's funnier, the video or the fact that some people watching it don't realize it satire! lol.
The Onion rocks.

[Troels C @ Jan 7th 2009 5:57AM]

It's obviously a MacBook Air with a wheel look-alike placed over the keyboard.
