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. |
|
| |
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 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. |

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. |

More fool you!

|
| |
There are other uses for a Dell laptop? |
|
| |
No. Just one really big one. |
|

Sort of the exact opposite reading to
that of The President Bush Intelligence
Widget. |

They also make serviceable tables for lap dancers. |
