An on-screen widget for the new MacBook Air showing a cool "brushed metal" analogue dial marked with a scale from "really thin" to "thick" with the indicator needle permanently pointing to "really thin".

Ha. About as useful as anything else borne from the 'widget' concept. |
|
| |
And surely it should be in that shiny plastic 'aqua' look - brushed steel is soooo 2003. |
|
| |
Bah, I thought it was for measuring pressure/altitude/CO. |
|
| |
What happens if the air thickens? |
|
| |
You might need an air thickness bag. |
|
| |
In parentheses under "Thickness" it could say "(Likelihood of it snapping in half)". I could probably hammer in tent pegs with my Dell laptop without any ill effects. |
|
| |
£1200 for a computer with no VGA port? I think not, Mr. Jobs. |
|
| |
Does the widget also measure the user...? |
|
| |
What, exactly, is a VGA port? And how
have I managed without one these long
years? |
|
| |
I'm going to bone this because it is apple fanboy masturbation. |
|
| |
I think it was intended to take the piss out of the whole "My Apple is better than your Window" bullshit thingy, [mylodon]. |
|
| |
This is just stupid because in the future they will be even thinner... unless something like "super thin" is added to the scale after "really thin". |
|
| |
"The dial on my thinness indicator goes to -1" |
|
| |
I'm waiting until they release all four elements. |
|
| |
I'm waiting for the MacBook Æther - "Look, it's great isn't it?", "What? Where is it?", "Right there! Can't you see it?", "No"
I think (as [UB] suggests) [mylodon] might have missed something about this idea... |
|

The Emperor's new MacBook. |
|
| |
For sure, [hippo], but "apple fanboy masturbation" is a great turn of phrase. |
|
| |
[wagster], it also seems to be a unique phrase. |
|
| |
// Your search - "apple fanboy masturbation" - did not match any documents. // |
|
| |
So, if you are fascinated with French cars would that be lemon fanboy masturbation? |
|
| |
Cucumber fanboy masturbation, anyone? |
|
| |
Could you use one as an altimeter? Perhaps each MacBook could be retrofitted with an altimeter, to increase their usefulness? |
|
| |
//altimeter, to increase their usefulness// |
|
| |
Or an Alethiometer, that might be quite useful. |
|
| |
Along the lines of what boysparks suggests, maybe it's time for the Dell Campaign for Real Beauty. |
|
| |
French? Lemons? Cucumbers? |
|
| |
Ok I don't understand any of you. |
|
| |
Maybe the focus should be on lightness instead of thinness... but I'm not suggesting some giant helium filled laptop either... |
|
| |
"Let me have laptops about me that are
fat;
Sleek-topped computers and such as
sleep o' nights:
Yond Mac Air has a lean and hungry
look;
He thinks too much: such products are
dangerous." with apologies to Julius
Caesar. |
|
| |
Nah, you're all just jealous. |
|
| |
"There, there, you'll be OK, it's just a little fright", <pats [mylodon] on the head, hands him a cucumber> |
|
| |
//not suggesting some giant helium filled laptop either...// |
|
| |
More fool you!
{I'll be back in a mo} |
|
| |
//I could probably hammer in tent pegs with my Dell laptop without any ill effects.// |
|
| |
There are other uses for a Dell laptop? |
|
| |
Yep. They also make serviceable, though heavy, lap tables for TV dinners. |
|
| |
Lapland must be full of laptops. |
|
| |
No. Just one really big one. |
|
| |
Are MacBook Air owners to be known as 'airheads'? |
|
| |
No. Just one really big one. |
|
| |
Sort of the exact opposite reading to
that of The President Bush Intelligence
Widget. |
|
| |
Maybe there needs to be an iPod Touch obsoleteness indicator. The annoying thing is that I'm perfectly happy and satisfied with only 8GB on mine. |
|
| |
They also make serviceable tables for lap dancers. |
