- ataylor32, on 06/06/2008, -2/+113Put a lowercase "i" in front of the product name
- digitalpencil, on 06/06/2008, -2/+75dugg for calling the yo-yo mouse 'the most wonderful mouse you've ever used'
- AndrewDB, on 06/06/2008, -2/+621. Start a rumor about it.
2. Drop subtle hints the rumor was wrong, but in reality it's right.
3. Discuss it with Apple Fans.
4. Finally release the news about it during an Apple Conference, say it's coming tomorrow.
5. Profit.

Did I miss anything?
Before anyone else says it.. Step 6 is: Release improved product a year after the original's release, Goto 5. - stonebone4, on 06/06/2008, -2/+61You can't have PROFIT! without ????
- Taciturn, on 06/06/2008, -2/+56* description not valid for those who have ever used a mouse
- helooksmortal, on 06/06/2008, -1/+37boom.
- FvKdUp, on 06/06/2008, -2/+33Spot on my friend, Spot on.
- staxofmax, on 06/06/2008, -4/+28That phrase is the brown note for Mac fanboys.
- LittleDas, on 06/06/2008, -0/+22Unless you have a hand that is approximately as round as that mouse, it is definitely worse.
- orenshk, on 06/06/2008, -2/+22Or maybe, even with all of their hype, just maybe, they actually release products that change the market every now and again.
See iPod. See iPhone. See designed computers. - speel, on 06/06/2008, -3/+20You forgot to say "Wear black"
- ThatEvilGuy, on 06/06/2008, -0/+13iDigg.
- SSUK, on 06/06/2008, -0/+12This video would have been a million times more awesome if it had a "most" counter, preferably one that 'ping's when it increases.
- davidrools, on 06/06/2008, -2/+14you're ***** me
- KMartSheriff, on 06/06/2008, -1/+13Yes, you forgot the ?????
- ryleyleckie, on 06/06/2008, -1/+12learn how to profit
- treblig, on 06/07/2008, -0/+9applause.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -6/+15he forgot step 7: "Have a famous singer (john mayer) play at the end of every conference"
- Shiftgood, on 06/06/2008, -14/+22^^^^^ Look at this thread. Not a single Mac "fanboy" drooling at the mouth with rabies about apple. Its all PC kids with something they need to prove to themselves.
- DanielJoel, on 06/06/2008, -2/+10Amazingly...this probably is the formula that could make any product successful
- eviljolly, on 06/06/2008, -0/+7Hmmm... well the guy that got dugg down said no so...
Yes? - digjam, on 06/06/2008, -4/+11Steve DID look pretty handsome 2 decades ago!
- KMartSheriff, on 06/06/2008, -7/+13It's true. Anti-"fanboys" are 10 times worse than the actual "fanboys" themselves.
- equinoxChild, on 06/07/2008, -0/+5twitter overload
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -3/+8I'd love to leave a comment after I watch this video, but by that time this story will have at least 150 comments :(
Ok, time to watch video - endlessoul, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5Not today, buddy.
- tlo182, on 06/06/2008, -1/+66. Profit!
- Pulch, on 06/06/2008, -2/+7Nah, it's simple physics. For every fanboy, there is an equal but opposite fanboy. People got too sick of hearing people tell them they should switch to mac, so they push back. If those original fanboys would let people use what system they like, we could co-exist in harmony.
- Magnus150, on 06/07/2008, -0/+4Apple is ALL about the ?????
Just look at the speculation about the upcoming iphone - iczman, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5I was expecting more oomph out of that last "boom".
- Shiftgood, on 06/06/2008, -4/+8Dude, you are so smart. How the ***** are you not running it all right now? whats your job that puts all of your amazing analytical talents to work? how many grades did you skip? jeez.. i cant believe you even spend time on digg. you are obviously way too smart for it.
- jo21, on 06/07/2008, -0/+4actually the improved version still won't have all the features left out in the original
- JClarksondd, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5Seemed pretty reasonable to me.
- jgtg32a, on 06/07/2008, -0/+3http://geekologie.com/2007/04/mouse-mouse.jpg
- PabloMac, on 06/06/2008, -1/+4
- BrendanSheehan, on 06/07/2008, -0/+3Not second-hand toilet paper.
- The2ndAct, on 06/06/2008, -3/+6Yeah... but it works.
- praisethelard, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2This time...it's personal!
- AntoineDigg, on 06/06/2008, -6/+8Good sum up indeed. I really like the comment "most advanced operating system in the world", I just switch from an xp machine to osx machine and frankly I don't see what the big deal is. Photoshop runs slower (and crashes more often) and the cool features like "spaces" are quite buggy when you switch between programs. But I have to admit, the OS looks cool.
- equinoxChild, on 06/07/2008, -1/+3iGuess so
- chops76, on 06/07/2008, -2/+4Reality Distortion Field™ not included.
- noctu, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2#6 have a fan boy get a vid of the apple product being set on fire or cutting cake and post it on digg.
- notwizt, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2You are the cancer of the Internet.
- inactive, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2wat
- inactive, on 06/07/2008, -1/+3iThought it was only funny the first time it was said.
- ROFLance, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2I think by "anti-fanboys" you mean trolls
- jgtg32a, on 06/07/2008, -1/+3you're marketing it wrong put it like this
iSecond-Hand Toilet Paper - jgtg32a, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2Doesn't that statement usually imply that there is something better and you shouldn't use it any more, if there is please enlighten me.
