The phrase "you're not helping" comes to mind.

Why does she have so many programs open?

By the way I can't believe you didn't use the picture of the french bulldog gazing at her blog on the mba.

Oh, my condolences to mac book air users. I hear OJ loves his as well.

cause she's "RICH BI*CH!"

For her being Martha Stewart and all, her place is pretty dusty. Check out the light refelcting off her screen! For shame to abuse the LED that way!

...which is terrific for working in a dimly lit car or on an airplane.

I can think of about zero times when I have used my laptop in the car. If I did that on a regular basis, however, I suppose a backlist keyboard would be convenient.

Oh come on that can't be Martha's, there'e too much dust on the screen

@rohan1: Because she can be 1000 times more productive than the rest of us lowly bi-peds, that's why!

@regnez: You also most likely aren't squired about in the back of a Limo everywhere you go... : )

Isn't supposed to be a sign of the end of the world when Martha Stuart starts doing tech reviews?

why does she have safari and firefox open??

omg, you can see her reflection in the bottom left corner of the screen, and she is totally naked!!!!

I would so bend her over that desk, and say, "All you need is THIS hard drive, bitch!"

I really don't know why, but I've always had the desire to bang her.

Because when I think high quality electronics I think Martha Stewart. If you buy a MBA then you are a Martha Stewart wannabe.

LOL! Love the bulldog picture.

@rohan1: Because this bitch can multitask, that's why. She can like bake a cake, paint a birdhouse, surf the internet, and sautee mushrooms all at the same time.

I have to imagine when she's dedicating her full attention to a computer that she probably always has 50 apps open. Although something tells me it's not exactly snappy given the MBA's paltry hardware specs (that's right, bring on the flames fanboys!)

Is it me or does it look like the MBA is covered in dust. Tsk tsk, Martha.

At least she is smart enough not to use safari.

Martha could take "Will it blend?" to the next level. Perhaps, "Will it Bake"?

@SchruteBuck:
OUCH!
@migsims:
Personally I'm no millionaire, but money is not one of the reasons why I have no use for a MBA.
However, I will add Martha Stuart owning one as another reason not to besides the many, many obvious ones.

@jetexas:
You're a sick, sick man.

@Jesus Diaz:
"Or in jail when they turn the lights off "
Now that's a good reason to spend 3k!

Obviously, she has Firefox and Safari both open so she can see how her cakes turn out in each browser. You know, make sure it all comes together the same.

@ParJoe:
Either that or it's a sign of the apocalypse and she's just missing the other 3 horsemen

I have no use for one, but the Air is sexier in person.

you guys, have sharp eyes, YOU SAW THE DUST!
(caps lock not intended)

Anyone seen Martha on Conan? Just about everytime she's on their, she's doing shots of whiskey, or chugging beer. That's some street credit to the MBA if you ask me.

I can't see the dust. *wipes screen* Oh, there it is!

@eduardjm: We should look for an "approved" signature somewhere on this photo from Steve Jobs himself.

@jetexas: That was HILARIOUS!!!!
@JoeStalin: Yea I saw her, I like it when shes on Conan, he makes so many jokes about her(then again he does say alot of jokes)and..... I forgot wat I was going to say.

"Although something tells me it's not exactly snappy given the MBA's paltry hardware specs (that's right, bring on the flames fanboys!"

SECOND!

She's using Firefox 2.0.0.12 and not Firefox 3.0 beta 4? Why???

@yayaba: Because she's Martha Stewart, and 3.0 beta 4 isn't fully baked yet, duh...

I'm indifferent on the MBA. But this makes me NOT like it. Martha Stewart stole millions of dollars from people. She's a convicted criminal. She's a white Imelda Marcos, and Filipino's are back in love with her too. Why don't people learn?!?!?

I'm hoping the air has a price break in the near future 'cuz then I'm pretty sure I'll get one. It is crazy sick for traveling type gigs, planes trains and automobiles.

Martha Stewart is as famous and successful as she ever was. Guess it doesn't matter to most people when someone cheats to make a profit, even when said cheating cheats regular folk out of some of the value of their meager investments. For shame, Martha Stewart, for shame! In Boston of yore, you'd be tarred and feathered, then shunned from polite society. Nowadays you remain one of the beautiful people. Jesus wept.

This really hasn't helped my geek lust after finally palming one of these things last Monday, and not being able to think about much else since :(.

@Out2gtcha:

The price is 3K only if you choose the solid state hard drive. Starting price is 18K.

Just read on the link to Martha's blog that the manager of her horse stable uses a touch screen HP computer.

I guess that's a practical Martha Stewart tip : It's easier to clean manure from a touch screen than from a keyboard.

@regnez: That would be because regular folk rarely get to be chauffeur driven to places (not counting parents taking kids to college or getting bused to school). 'Tis the way of life in the Hamptons, or wherever she gets driven to.

Can Martha bake me a firefox 3.0b4? duh! I don't mind eating any seafood tonight if its name has martha in it....

@regnez:

Who cares about backlit keyboards anyhow? Oh yeah -- those who don't know how to type.

I never look at my keys, so backlighting is hardly a draw.

@regnez: that's probably because you're the one driving. i'm sure martha drives nowhere herself, and sits in the back, as she whips her driver to go faster, while typing some manifesto on MS Word.

i can taste the jealousy in this thread :)

But no one likes Martha Stewart?

I think the whole point of the ad is that it's so thin, you can bake a cake on it. Kind of like a huge stretch if you ask me, but it's a smart way of linking the tech savvy and the not so tech savvy but home savvy. If Martha can use the Macbook Air, then so can I, right? I think it's smart marketing because it immediately spurs a reaction.
