Cook Your Breakfast With MacBook
Kisom writes "Everyone knows Apple isn't famous for their cold notebooks. Dan Lurie however discovered it was possible to cook eggs on the bottom of his MacBook. Even though it took three times as long to cook the egg, Apple should probably be concerned."
This is more satire taken seriously by an idiot on the web. The link in the article above is a blog that picked up another blog where the guy clearly says he's making a joke. This is like when the onion is taken seriously...
That aside, props to the Egg MacMuffin joke...
WikiAfterDark.com It's a sex wiki, go now!
Obviously. The Slashdot editors have proven, once again, that they suck at what they do. Actually, worse than that, they don't actually DO what they do!
/. editor, and hire a whole new staff. They don't need to be geeks, or even slightly tech-aware. They just need to be literate, and it would be a huge step up.
For fuck's sake, the "article" is shorter than most emo kids' blog entries, and says "This is a joke" in bold, oversized text at the end!
VA Linux should fire every last
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
I know the article is a joke, but I could tell that from just looking at the picture. If he really cooked an egg on his MacBook, he would need a bigger foil, otherwise the moment you crush the egg, it would spread and stain the uncovered parts of the laptop. The foil is too small to cover the spread of one egg. Thus, it is apparent from the picture that the egg was cooked before it is placed on the foil.
I once had a signature.
Now the problem is that your battery will only last 2 hours or so with this new 'update'. Yeah, back in the day the original 'Toilet Seat' iBooks could deliver 8-10 hours battery time with no problems exactly because they had no fan.
That's the one thing I cannot stand about Apple: they keep tweaking settings with their updates without giving users any options to adjust them afterwards.
Like disabling SuspendToDisk ('hibernate') option in 9.0->9.0.4 update, removing 'swappiness' control from 10.1, disabling iTunes internet filesharing, etc.
Oh, and microsofting their users by requiring the f***** CD keys.
Obama likes poor people so much, he wants to make more of them.
Besides, the last thing I want is to have to carry around more junk with my laptop, let alone another thing that requires MORE batteries or another power cord.
