  • theshalit, on 07/05/2008, -1/+67I severely dislike gizmodo at this point. If I want satire I'll read the ***** Onion.
  • fugazied, on 07/05/2008, -4/+64This is old and quite crap. Shame on you Gizmodo.
  • Thater, on 07/05/2008, -4/+52What the ***** is this stupid *****?
  • fartbuttes, on 07/05/2008, -2/+43Ahh, hilarious! A joke that wasn't funny when it was run into the ground 5 months ago! Bury this.
  • RedS0x, on 07/05/2008, -1/+34That went on for way too long...
  • orenshk, on 07/05/2008, -1/+32That was really lame. And about 7 months too late.
  • tacojohn48, on 07/05/2008, -0/+29So if we burry this enough can it be taken off the front page?
  • Thater, on 07/05/2008, -0/+18Does this even qualify as satire? I don't get it. Are they satirizing the fact that desktops are larger than laptops?
  • Marumekomu, on 07/05/2008, -0/+16Every repost is a repost repost.
  • joelav22, on 07/05/2008, -2/+17No one cares about you, your premium leather case or your XPS
  • bobjrn2, on 07/05/2008, -3/+18I was expecting theonion
  • FoxOrian, on 07/05/2008, -0/+15Notice how all the GIzmodo users are eating it up, more or less.
  • Justin125, on 07/05/2008, -0/+13Lame, bury it.
  • jmhyer51, on 07/05/2008, -0/+12stupid
  • Ransomowris, on 07/05/2008, -1/+12Gizmodo sucks.
  • tama00, on 07/05/2008, -3/+12You are the weakest link, good bye!
  • darkane, on 07/05/2008, -1/+7It's not news that Gizmodo is garbage.
  • enicholas, on 07/05/2008, -1/+5Manila is a particular kind of durable paper, commonly used to make large envelopes. "Manila envelope" is an incredibly common expression, and I'm honestly baffled how you could jump to a ridiculous conclusion like it's "Apple's word for envelope". Next time consult a dictionary first.
  • sn0t, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4That's at least five months old.
  • orenshk, on 07/05/2008, -1/+5um... what?
  • amanilaenvelope, on 07/05/2008, -2/+6that was lame. i didn't know that we can hold that much in ourselves.
  • jonsterling, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Yeah, I swore to stop reading Giz, but I went back. That ***** at CES disgusted me.
  • FuZi0nDET, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3Gizmodo does a discredit to blogs and helps build on that myth that blogs are no good or un-trustworthy. I've met one of the writers for Gizmodo while working a trade show shortly after CES 08 and I foundhis write up to be one sided and bias, I guess I shouldn't have been shocked?
  • Elliuotatar, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3It MIGHT have been amusing IF the headline didn't spell out every joke that was going to take place in the video for you before you watched it.
  • benologist, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3Apparently not.
  • MtheoryX, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3I thought it was the Onion, until I noticed the horrible writing and complete lack of funny.
  • wellyuk, on 07/05/2008, -1/+4No really, it isn't.
  • Tomoir, on 07/05/2008, -1/+3Don't... don't question it.
  • Synchro, on 07/05/2008, -1/+3Not sure which is worse the gizmodo article or that you are quoting a crappy game show that was popular that many years ago.
  • PullingTeeth, on 07/05/2008, -1/+3Honestly thought it was the Onion to begin with
  • hagfish70, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2ooooolllllddddddd
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1No, you're a towel.
  • enicholas, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I'm a snob for suggesting that you use a dictionary to determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word, or that the conclusion that Apple has invented a new word for "envelope" is silly?
  • rohde, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Wow...what a waste of time.
  • leamanc, on 07/05/2008, -1/+2Since you decided to regurgitate a Slashdot meme, I'm modding you -1 offtopic. We're not talking hardware here.

    Just kidding...Dugg you up.
  • wilhoitm, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1What about the power brick? I did not see it come out of the manila envelope. Did i miss something?
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1It's not a commonly used term in my Canadian demographic. We use the term "Brown Envelope".

    Next time don't assume everyone uses the same vocabulary as you do.

    And stop being such a snob.
  • apalys, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Uhm... what?
  • themastersb, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1I loled, but buried it nonetheless since it's a dupe.
  • pathy, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Oddly enough, I don't think Apple are shipping Mac Pros in envelopes either. Y'know, just a hunch.
  • bradleybell2, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Replace Mac VS PC adverts.
  • WallyAnti, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Did anyone else watch the video at the beginning of the page? Trying to figure out what artist sings that song. Thanks.
  • Goolic, on 07/05/2008, -2/+2Nut sure if it's funny...

    But it IS CRUEL on Dell :)
  • Rudegar, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0hhmmm no ascii art with "it's a trap" ?
  • gak001, on 07/05/2008, -6/+5No WiFi. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
  • inactive, on 02/25/2009, -3/+2congrats bob, i also ordered an xps 13.3 m1330 with 4 gbs of ddr ram a few days ago. it is in production now :)
  • SugarCoatedSalt, on 07/05/2008, -5/+3***** this ***** *****, yo.
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -4/+1I thought this was real news until I saw the opening seconds of the video and remembered "Manila" is Apple's word for envelope. This is lame.
  • inactive, on 02/25/2009, -7/+3wow stupidest article on digg ever!
