LOL...A.K.A. = The Giant iPod.

This has got to be a joke. That has got to be the most counterproductive innovation I have seen yet for the personal computer (IMHO). Not geared towards the Post Production community for sure...but there are tons of Apple fanatics that must have the latest, so believe it or not, it will probably sell quite a bit.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

LOL - Sorry Joey, I would have thought there were certain statements that would have clued you in.

"Everything you need is only a few hundred clicks away."

"The battery life is 19 minutes"

"The new Macbook is virtually indestructable unless you hit it or drop it."

I thought the production quality was really great though as my fiance's first thought was: "It's a good thing I don't own any Apple stocks."

"scroll to the letter you need... center click to select it, click again to capitalize... couldn't be simpler"

Haha! Extremely well done!

Err... Joey, you can't use the word "d*ck" on Primetime News, i think...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOthumbs up

that is a stupid apple idea. right now i can push a key and i have a letter, hit shift then the letter is capital.

Why would i want to create longer times to get a capital letter. spin the wheel > choose the letter> click then choose it to be capital. DUMB

That was a COMPLETE waste of rd time and money. Put fcp on that and try a key command. How long would it take to log and capture or write an email.

STEVE JOBS IS SMOKING SOMETHING REALLY POTENT (Peyote maybe). That is stupid in any usage.

I hope that they don't use that thinking on fcp 7 or 6.5 or Snow Leopard which that name is as smart as the orion. It sounds like a kids storybook character. Apple LIONO , Thunder Cat 10.6.0

Look on the bright side, J. Corbett, the scroll wheel is reminiscent of the linear machines we used to use. I'm sure they'll map the center button for punch in/outs. You'll need 2 of those MBWs for dual screen anyway. So with the ingenuity of modern technology, you now have the reliability of hard drives and the efficiency of the scroll wheel, besides, you never needed those extra buttons on the linear edit controllers anyway! smiling smiley
