Yeah, you who enjoyed this swill, just keep telling yourselves that those who expressed displeasure are merely apple fanboys; that should make you feel not so stupid and humorously challenged.

I hate Apple and its products. Nice-looking, but overpriced, and not remotely innovative.

Pfffft. Microsoft already has the Z ball with twice the features, plus 3G and GPS. Available. Today. Any idiot that would pay twice as much for the Apple i is just paying for the stupid logo and so they can show it off at their local Starbucks while they sip their cappuccinos, complain about global warming, and roll it annoyingly around the floor. Besides, Palladium is ugly and isn't good for reception.

sqeakytoy of the apocalypse — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 09:59:51 EDT

@mhlaxp:Hmmm, here's a theory, maybe it's not Steve... Maybe his turtleneck is one of our soon to be robotic overlords... Its controlling him to establish some sort of "foothold" scenario, spreading tiny robotic instruments of our destruction as a race throughout the globe while we blissfully hum along, (all the while, bashing their first attempt *gasp* Bill Gates!) Just a theory, but think about the flaming battery ipods; maybe some of the drones awoke early and fulfilled their true programming by trying to kill their users? It's just a thoery, but God help us if there are any Mac's in charge when they fire up that uber-laser star machine out there in sunny California.

Lol, oh well, thats my contribution to the conspiracy web for today...

I still love the movie, and I cant wait to find it on HD. Perhaps a beter description of a subtle parody might be Galaxy Quest. And besides, Sigourney looked pretty damn good in that push up she was sportin'!

@Brau: Ok, so it's called college humor. It's a lame site, aimed at frat boy types who are so bored there isn't a kegger going on, they sit in a dorm room or apartment, get trashed, and watch videos online. It has to be predicatable and boring. These are the people who think Scary/Superhero/Epic/Whatever Movie are all good flicks.

Lets not really hold them to a higher level, because the target audience are a bunch of morons.

mhlaxp — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 04:24:59 EDT

I thought Jobs' keynotes were parodies of themselves. If I recall correctly the first lines of the iPhone speech matched perfectly the first lines of his introduction of Lisa (you know, the project that he named after his daughter, then abandoned and ran into the ground).

If Steve Jobs isn't the sort of guy who can publicly conjure up images of one of his most obvious and spectacular failures with the launch of every new product, just to make sure no one takes him or his turtleneck too seriously, I just don't know who he is.
