For those that have been paying attention to Mac's series of computers, from the iMac to the Macbook Air, here's the latest thing they've managed to create. They are truly on the cutting-edge of technological computer wizardry.

That's pretty freakin cool! I think it would be great for certain uses, but like the lady said at the end, I'm not sure how practical it is for common work-related usage. It looks like their system for typing is rather tedious, and since a primary use for computers is still word-processing, then their device is impractical.

Heh...well, in case you hadn't realized, this entire 'story' is brought to us from the fine folks over at The Onion, and is completely bogus. You won't be MacWheeling any time soon. :(

I actually really love The Onion. It is so damn funny, those guys get me every time....

Here's more examples! :D

Okay, I'm an idiot :oops: .

I watched it quickly with the sound off yesterday at work, not even paying attention to the captions, and completely glazed over what was truly going on. My initial confusion at your reply caused me to watch it again more closely, with sound, and clearly saw that the entire story was a blatant joke.

Good stuff. :joker:
