Pretty funny stuff. For those who prefer direct links instead of having
to waste their time clicking through Digg:

I love the part where it said, took the guy 45 mins to send his friend a
email. Notice all the mistakes in the email.

Then a close 2nd is the price. Too Funny.

I love the line: "I'll buy almost anything if it's shiney and made by
Apple."

I also liked, "it remains to be seen if the wheel will catch on in the
business world where people use computers for actual work and not just
dicking around." This reminded me of last night, when I asked a friend
about which portable GPS she recommended. She told me what she had, but
added that she couldn't transfer topo maps from the DVD to the GPS
because it only worked under Windows so she had to use a friend's PC
every time she needed to change the maps. Her husbands hatred of
Microsoft precluded her from dual booting her Mac.

Agreed. That and the line "any choice, only hundreds of clicks away!"

Sick minds think alike- those were my two favorites as well...

I thought the more subtle, "I like having e-mail automatically says sent
from a Macbook wheel, that way people know you have one" was excellent.
If you've ever gotten an e-mail from an iPhone, where many people
automatically have "Sent from an iPhone" as part of their signature.

And of course the text box with:
Jobs: "People who use keyboards standing in the way of human progress."

How much faster is Ubuntu than the three bloatwares?
