My workmates were looking at this video this morning and thought it was real, until I informed them that theOnion.com is a satire news site. It is very funny though :D
"I'll buy almost anything if it's shiny and made by Apple."
This makes me laugh out loud every time. It's a shame some people really think like this. I'm sure there's an applicable Proverbs reference that could be posted here... :)
I'd have to see the Wheel in person to appreciate it. It seems that a keyboard on a screen that you can't touch would be much more difficult than having a keyboard. On the other hand, I believe that with the state of speech recognition technology today, a keyboard less laptop would be a cinch. All you need is a microphone.
I'm kind of ashamed at myself when I think how long into the video it was before the excitement of a cool new product eventually gave way to recognising the joke!

Best line: "everything is just a few hundred clicks away."
Passe. I'm waiting for the new gadget from Apple which just knows what I wanted to do and does it for me and then tells me how everything turned out.

Hilarious. I liked the anchor's comment at the end about the uncertainty of the adoption of "The Wheel" by business users...
Nicholas is right, that is terrible! I mean, what is Apple thinking! No one will every buy Apple again.
Of course, anyone following the news recently will know that Steve Jobs is not giving the Expo this year. Dead give away.
I now agree with Franklin.

"He spent 45 minutes typing an email to his buddy!" That is hilarious...even though I am occasionally a self-proclaimed mac-evangelist.
The comments are almost as funny as the vid :)
My 14-year-old kept saying "Is that real?" (ADD kid who likes shiny stuff)
