Sort of in the same vein as funny reports... When I watched this episode of IT crowd I nearly choked laughing:

I do one-handed surfing all the time.  I can't imagine this would be any different.

Are they serious about this ?
I really really really cannot imagine anyone using this thing.
If they really want to innovate computers, take a look at the Star Trek computers and give me one of those (and make it work) :lol:

I bet if Jobs announced this at a press conference the automatons would whoop and cheer as much as usual.

Of course its not serious. If it was not obvious enough in the first place, it was already mentioned it was a joke in this thread!  Wow! :-o

Let hope no Apple guys link to our forum on any of their message boards.  Amigans would be laughing stocks yet again!   :boohoo:

The Onion did a pretty good job of this spoof. Still, I'm surprised that anyone fell for it. Come on, it's The Onion; have a look at their other "news clips."

I am sorry but that is simply retarded.  Do you know how long it will take to write anything worth writing with a wheel?  I am sure I can do things just as fats with a simple wheel mouse and definately a lot faster with a keyboard.  I think Apple people smoke too much crack.  If they want to be innovative why don't they actually make something useful instead of beating that Ipod wheel idea to apulp.  Its that same as using the I infront of everything Ipod, Imac Icrap.  I am sorry but Apple is over rated.  I don't think OSX is anything special, sure it has a few nice features, but honestly it is just as lunky as windows, just in different areas and it has just as many security holes if not more.  Besides it looks like a record player with a TV on it.

Fantastically produced video clip! And I've forwarded it on to a few people who will probably fall for it! :-)
