Is this a joke?

 

[SocialNumb]

It's like a giant iPod.

 

[pifos_2]

[abyssofdreams]

It's a fake yes but a good one

"A few hundred clicks away"

 

[Metaltastic]

Haha, evidently you're not acquainted with the genius that is "The Onion," Jorge

 

[Joematthews]

[DominikJW]

Tis sehr gut

 

[spioraid]

That is awesome! "...and not just people dicking around."

I think it's much better the new super idea: the new macbook pro 17 will have a non-removeable battery!!!!
It would be very cool....expecially considering the "fantastic" quality of theyr battery........
Hope they will use better batteries.

I actually am.

It's really not far from the truth. Apple was doing some great things from 1998-2005, but the last few years have been incredibly lame.

 

[spioraid]

Apple seems to do that. Hit it big unexpectedly with an idea, capitalize the living crap out of it then go back to the drawing board for another round of failed gimmicks, then hit something great.

I'm just waiting for my 34" touch screen TV/Blu-Ray/PC/Beer making machine. I know we're close, 3 outta 4 aint bad!

The 'Mactini' is obviously the next logical progression of this concept

[spioraid]

Yeah, 'cuz Appletini was already taken! Haha! Gay fruity drinks win the day again!

 

[Sloan]

That's high budget for an old joke!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Would it really be that big of a surprise if apple tried to sell something like this though?
