Is There Some Plum, Oops, I Mean Apple Event Today in San Francisco?
Even without Apple CEO Steve Jobs, there will be copious amounts of live coverage of Macworld’s keynote by Apple SVP Phil “No-Black-Turtleneck” Schiller all over the tech sites online in T-minus nine hours and counting.
And, guess what? All Things Digital will be there too, with the intrepid reporting duo of Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski on text and our Webmaster (and not-so-secret Mac fanboy) Adam Tow on photos.
They and many others are hoping the not-prone-yet Jobs will make a surprise appearance, even by iChat, to greet the Apple (AAPL) faithful crowd gathered in San Francisco.
One can hope for His Digital Holiness, but the event might be more about Mac minis and 17-inch Macbook Pros, as most expect.
Until then, enjoy this very funny spoof video from The Onion about a new Apple sensation that almost seems like it could be made and sold: The Macbook Wheel.
Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard
Comments
Thanks for the link to the humorous film on the the “Macbook Wheel,” Kara. I want one NOW! Well, actually, I don’t. But the film does, indirectly, make a valuable point about Apple, and by extension, Steve Jobs. Despite their fanciful quality, Apple products are rock solid on usability — no rotary keyboards requiring 45 minutes to write an email, thank you. And despite all the nonsense about our “right” or “need” to know every private detail of the CEO’s health, Steve Jobs has built a wonderfully healthy company.
