There's so many awesome quotes from that, I don't know which to choose!

"I'll buy anything as long as it's shiny and made by apple"

"We'll see how this catches on in the business world, as some people use computers for work, and not just dicking around."

You're kidding, right?

Afterall, Apple has made awesome products before, and they've always been right on the money. Remember when they took the floppy drive out of the first iMac? Or when they took the optical drive out of the MacBook Air? They've been spot on with those. If they say we don't need a keyboard, I think they'd be the ones to pull it off. Plus, you don't see a keyboard on the iPhone, do you? And look at where those are going

i think a touch wheel would be a pain in the ass for typing, also a battery that lasts more than 19 mins would be cool lol

Im intrigued. I think that the trying to type fast would get somewhat annoying, like texting w/o a qwerty keyboard. well for me anyways.
That and internet browsing seems most difficult

For those who haven't caught on:

This isn't real.

The Onion is an online newspaper that makes up a bunch of crap that satires other real bunches of crap. In a very convincing manner.

Don't believe me? Read the scrolling text at the beginning.

"Study finds horseback riding is just an expensive form of sitting."
"Happening now: Man hopes addition of 'lol' will make text message less creepy."

And the sentence prediction technology. Lots of laughs there.

"The agriculture was cultivated by the coral"
"The amiable Althusserian scholar asked the aardvark for an absinthe"
"The apple was inquiring about the amiable crocodile's friend"
"The aquamarine lifevest was unpopular"

etc
etc

No, I'm not kidding. Did you see smilies in my post?

First off the iPhone doesn't have a wheel. The iPhone is a touch screen keyboard as it would be on a regular laptop. Also, as stated after your post try typing fast with that wheel. yeah instant pain in the ass.

"If they say we don't need a keyboard" so your saying you let them make the decisions for you? You sir have been taken by apple.

"

Go back and read what you replied to with that in mind.
You sound like a dunce.

I saw this a while ago and honestly didn't know it was fake until somebody mentioned the onion. It just looks like something apple would do
