Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop with No Keyboard (Satire, 2009)
- damiankennedy 3y agoCheck out the prices, $2600 for 8 Gb and $9960 for 40 Gb
- cempaka 3y ago"It is an investment," hahah. This is also really deft parody of tech press boosterism.
- bitwize 3y agoThought of this when the idiot bar debuted on MacBook "Pro"s.
- sillywalk 3y agoOr the macbook with the one usb port for charging, video-out, and general usb.
- postmodest 3y agoHey now, IIRC it had two ports but you had to use one for charging, and it had to be the left one.
- sillywalk 3y agoNope, the 12-inch macbook had one usb-c port and one headphone jack.
- postmodest 3y agoOh, right, the 12-inch macbook. That one was truly stupid: like it was designed solely to test if you could abuse users with "an iPad with a keyboard" at a laptop price point.
- cempaka 3y agoI feel like I don't see them much anymore but The Onion used to produce some hilarious video content. "Prague's Kafka International Named Most Alienating Airport" is still my favorite: https://youtu.be/gEyFH-a-XoQ https://youtu.be/gEyFH-a-XoQ
- deafpolygon 3y agoIsn't it basically an iPad? :)
- wkat4242 3y agoNo it's got a clickwheel:)
- wkat4242 3y agoI loved that one. "Everything on your computer is only a few hundred clicks away" :) And the predictive sentences shown on screen are so funny. There was also a great iphone 5 joke video about it becoming 2 feet long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNBP18nrRdw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNBP18nrRdw Is it just me or is this kind of parody a bit gone these days?
- robotburrito 3y agoThat era of the onion was amazing. I'm not sure if they had a ton of funding back then or what the reason for this was.
- pdpi 3y agoToday’s Onion is responsible for this[0] amicus brief with the Supreme Court, which is possibly one the best pieces of satirical writing in history. 0. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03%20-%20Novak-Parma%20-%20Onion%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/2022...
- sillywalk 3y agoI think parody is a bit gone. Conan O'Brien did a bit on the 1st iphone.. Wow, that's going back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N68_cp1vEFs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N68_cp1vEFs
