The Onion brilliantly mocks Macworld hype with the “MacBook Wheel”
Until Apple’s keynote address starts tomorrow at 9AM PST, there are going to be non-stop rumors about which products will be unveiled. It’s becoming more clear what is going to be announced (iMacs, Mac minis, 17-inch MacBook Pros, DRM-free iTunes?), but there is always the chance that there will be a wild card.
The satirical news site The Onion has a great video mocking the Macworld product launch hype with its “MacBook Wheel” computer. This is classic stuff (”predictive sentence technology”), much better than that Simpsons spoof.
