Breaking Tech News: Apple Wheel

[bobsticks]

I know a good many around these parts are consistently riding the front wave of technology while many more are simply in the market for an upgrade. Given the relative desirability of a high storage, high-efficiency machine, Apple may be offering a viable alternative to Microsoft-based systems for the tech-saavy audiophile:

Just what a ham fisted guy like me could use.:thumbsup:

Predictive Sentence technology...sweet. "The agile aardvark arrived by airmail." You don't know how much time that will save me.

[bobsticks]

Ja...I find myself typing those exact words all the time. Big time saver...

My fingers SCREAM across my keyboard!!! :yesnod:

Perfect! Just what the doctor ordered. I'll take two of the lightweight models.

Just imagine how much of your life you could get back if you didn't have to type "Pix, You're a DUMBASS" so much.

LDB, that's an integral part of my life, my crusade.
(Note: I know you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but sometimes just the trying is reward enough)

Is it just me or does the amount of time it takes to bring up the keyboard and then scroll from letter to letter a bit time comsuming? Also, if you'll notice, the guy who typed the 45 minute e-mail to his "friend" typed his name wrong (Robber instead of Robert)

Wait a minute, was that a spoof Youtube video? :idea:

[GMichael]

That'll be Five Thousand Two Hundred dollars + tax and/or shipping please.
And I'll still need to buy, hard drives, screens and 2 big wheels.

[Rich-n-Texas]

The $2,600 model comes with an 8 gig HD.

Wonna these days I'm just going to invest in a Network Attached hard drive.

[ForeverAutumn]

I'll buy anything that's shiney and comes from Apple. :)

The lighter model comes without hard drives, display or big wheel. Must be a bare motherboard.

When did Pix get an Apple? I though he was using a home brew.

This isn't just a spoof??

It is, in fact a spoof.

Indeed.

[nightflier]

Ironically, the sentence recognition (the examples from the video notwithstanding) is no spoof.

Ironically, Sony has their own "time vampire" as well:
