@OMG! Ponies!: All well and good, but you have yet to address the question of whether you accept as valid film stills used to illustrate posts. This is a literal website, sir. Whimsy is not welcome here.

@bencarmeli: And this, folks, is why the wake-and-bake lifestyle, while alluring, is a bad thing.

Mr. Carmeli,

Please allow me to extend my most sincere apologies for not using the [sarcasm] tags.

I ordinarily take the "lowest common denominator" into account when employing such tags and felt that my above comment was so beyond the pale as to not necessitate their use. I was clearly mistaken in my judgment as to how gullible the browsing public is.

I'm sorry that you mistook my unique brand of tongue-in-cheek commentary on a lazy Sunday for genuine mockery of a highly successful business. It was a reference to the partnership whereby HP branded 5G iPods, which, based on anecdotal evidence, tended to be of poorer craftsmanship than Apple-made iPods. I am sorry that this reference was lost on you.

I regret that you thought that what was obviously a facetious remark (especially given the nature of photograph) was real. I didn't mean to upset you and I will be clearer in my ironic comments. I don't want anyone to miss out on my irony, regardless of his/her limited intellectual faculties.

A thousand pardons. In the future, I will take you into account when considering the foolishness of the blog-reading public.

Yours, etc.

@rbedi: thank you and gizmodo feel free to give me a star so as to complete my fakery. (fakery?) probably not a real word but im sure the real nutbastard would know a better word to use, so ask him. (hopefully not a nsfw word)

Why does everyone presume this is a large monitor, and not a tiny person?

Anyone who can't tell that this is just a monitor rotated into portrait mode should go play in traffic and "thin the herd."

@Hiphopopotamus: If gizmodo bans you do they eventually allow you to comment again or will you have to forever read gizmodo posts unable to comment on how long you spend on the computer or how many ipods you've had etc?

@Hap: No. Then they'd be newspapers.

Blogs aren't proofed. Any errors are deleted and treated as if they never existed - never with the strike-through feature. That's how blogs deal with questions about fact-checking.

praetorian — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:40:56 EDT

Yea I can clearly see the HP logo on the middle left side. From the black bezel it looks like their glossy line of consumer monitors (w2007, w2207, or w2407).

But yea, this is the same kinda thing you can see outside of Apple stores.

Hap — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:20:52 EDT

Topic is too boring for a tech comment, so let's talk about English:

1. I don't know where YOU live, but ducks in my area don't "talk". The phrase is "... quacks like a duck ...".

2. Both semicolons should be colons (or at least em-dashes).

3. I think you left out an "if" in the second to last sentence.

Even blogs should be proofed.

to be fair, this could actually be a touchscreen computer. To my understanding, they sell a 22 inch all in one computer... i think...

It looks like his monitor is turned sideways, and that that is just a picture. And, what the hell is up with his face?

It's Jailbroken 1.0.1 software! So, it's an old pic. (Note: Calculator icon and the logo partially hidden by his hand in the 4th row.)

Stupid Apple - won't they ever learn?

Why the hell is Apple teaming up with HP to make giant iPhones? Didn't they learn from the whole HP-branded iPod fiasco? Guess not.

Well, look for a whole lot of people getting pissed off when their giant iPhones break down.
