Mactini: The macbook with one key

December 30th, 2008. Published under Fun. No Comments.

The Mactini is the latest product from Apple that adds to the range of macbooks. This mac has only one key, allowing the size to be reduced to only a few centimeters across.

What do you think of it? I don’t think it would catch on for some reason!

What on Earth has possessed Jackie Chan to appear on a TV ad marketing a UK high street store?? I just saw it while watching Dave (UK Freeview channel 19) at 22:35pm.

Does anyone else think this is a big step down? I even said out loud “Jackie what are you doing??”

I searched on YouTube and found the following, poor quality, wrong aspect ratio screen capture of the ad.

It is sooo cheesy I almost have to close my eyes.

Well he asked us not to put this onto Digg but I thought, what the hell!

Anyway so I am watching Diggnation LIVE on Revision3. They have tashes on (after what they said on the last episode of Diggnation).

Anyone else watching it live? or there? or was there?

HEHE APRIL FOOL!!

Hehe how awesome. Alex getting a Mac! Kevin going to windows! Don’t blame me. The guys at Diggnation started it! I thought I would just carry it into the blogsphere. We all like a good laugh don’t we!

On Diggnation they decided to play a joke. They said that Fox had aquired Revision3 (as you can see from the screen capture above). They even joked that Alex would move to a Mac and Kevin to a Windows.
