That has to be one of the most f**kin' ridiculous things I have ever seen. Spin-click-spin-click-read my mind... If they want to do something new why even bother with the "QWERTY" keyboard at all? How about scroll the most used characters first - then the least often used? Hey, wait a minute - that is the "QWERTY" keyboard for when keys got stuck together... So let's reinvent the "keyboard" based on a design from 1847! Reinvent the wheel - first documented in 3200 B.C.

Years ago I worked with Apple on capacitive touch sensing for some of their products. I have to say, the people I interfaced with had their heads completely up their asses. Nice to see things haven't changed...

You do realize that is a parody right? The onion is not a real news source.

"...and nothing's more simple than a single giant button." :lol:

"Everything is just a few hundred clicks away." :lol:

And my favorite:
"I'll buy almost anything if it's shiny and made by Apple." :lol:

But seriously, I bought my son an iMac for Christmas. Now I want a Mac. Bad.

Take care Frances, really!

I'm not against/with Apple, but seriously, reading hardware news everyday since a few months, it seems it's like a drug for most of their customers
I see Apple logo and products e-very-where...
The simplest info/intox generates billions of fight comments, and it's like people were paid to talk about them...

I don't know if this video is a joke, but i was not surprised by such a crazy-wow- new-technology from them!

excuse my sarcasm..

but what i find really funny is when apple users wish
that there should be more autodesk software running on their platform... :roll: :D

peace,
