- tillerman00, on 03/11/2008, -2/+183I guess this kind of thing keeps happening. I peeled the outer cover off my MacBook Air thinking it was a chocolate mint.
- boxybrzown, on 03/11/2008, -2/+128Executive Summary: I lost my laptop but I'm such an Apple Fanboy that I creamed at the thought that it might have been thrown away by mistake because it's so light.
- HappyScrappy, on 03/11/2008, -4/+95Is he bragging about being a dumbass? Or maybe he's just hoping Apple will air ship him 3 more Airs as payment for this story...
- Shreyasva, on 03/11/2008, -1/+76maybe he should keep it inside a manila envelope
- pintomp3, on 03/11/2008, -29/+104how many newspapers weight 3lbs?
- shaka776, on 03/11/2008, -1/+75I can't believe it... I run a recycling route for my city... and I was a the airport, emptying the bins, and out of nowhere, a Macbook Air came flying out of my bin and onto my paper pile. What luck!
- thedez, on 03/11/2008, -5/+59the sunday paper
- IllBeBack, on 03/11/2008, -1/+54Just like anything else, you keep track of things you care about. If a child can be taught to keep track of their lunch money and their jacket, for example, an adult should be able to care enough to keep track of their laptop, regardless of how thin and light it is.
- yikiad, on 03/11/2008, -6/+56the sunday paper in san diego is at least 5 pounds
- Unlgued, on 03/11/2008, -0/+44I know the feeling - I accidentally faxed my MacBook Air to Miami. Fortunately they faxed it back, and it works fine.

- dansy, on 03/11/2008, -46/+85Apple marketing machine in action - is anybody stupid enough to fail for that masked advertising ?
- Scuba, on 03/11/2008, -0/+38In other news:
BREAKING: Man misplaces keys. Blames size, not negligence on his behalf. - brundlefly, on 03/11/2008, -15/+48"The MacBook Air will not be the primary computer for many of its owners; lots of people need more storage than the maximum 80 gigabytes it provides. For those users, it will be a unit designated mainly for travel."
What universe does Mr. Money Bags live in? $1800 for a "travel-designated" laptop? Does he have a separate laptop for sitting on the crapper, too? - griz, on 03/11/2008, -5/+36And how exactly is this a selling point? Easily lost with the newspapers. Hmmm, I'll have to run right out and buy one of those.
- atbnet, on 03/11/2008, -5/+33The Macbook Air's size is really blessing in disguise. My girlfriend was over this weekend and as I reached into my box of condoms I pulled out my Macbook Air instead and naturally I jumped on Digg. Well she got pissed and left, but the next day she called and said she had cheated on me and got herpes.
Thanks Apple! - alliekins619, on 03/11/2008, -4/+31The Sunday Times?
- nicolaa, on 03/11/2008, -1/+27Kudos for linking to the "Print" version.
- griz, on 03/11/2008, -5/+31The New York Times.
- Hosalabad, on 03/11/2008, -4/+29Someone call a Waaaambulance.
- GinsuGuy585, on 03/11/2008, -11/+31Title is misleading, someone jacked it.
- afidler, on 03/11/2008, -2/+20What a tard. How could you be so inept as to lose a $2000+, laptop?
- yevkasem, on 03/11/2008, -2/+19here we go again.
iphone in airplane mode causes terrorist scare!!11
iphone gets run over by truck!!11
airbook touch is so thin it's a BOMB!!
airbook so thin I THREW IT AWAY.
apple marketing must love you idiots. - mciampa1214, on 03/11/2008, -3/+20Read more.
- oPoTyKaH, on 03/11/2008, -0/+17But have you checked your recycle bin?
- solis365, on 03/11/2008, -0/+17Actually, FTA:
You have to examine the bookshelves. You have to look under furniture. You have to scan through manila folders—because the Air is barely thicker than the papers inserted in those folders. Basically, you have to tear the whole place apart.
Why the ***** would you look there? Is he suggesting that people *actually* store their Airs in filing cabinets?
My toaster is small enough to fit in my bathtub, but that doesnt mean I keep it there... - katrayun, on 03/11/2008, -1/+15One could also ask how being harassed by the TSA over the Macbook Air is a selling point... and yet that article was blatant advertisement.
- Radar3D, on 03/11/2008, -1/+15I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.
- Genma, on 03/11/2008, -7/+20complete and utter *****, even as a poor excuse for a review (?).
- sailadayaway, on 03/11/2008, -0/+12Newsweek probably made him write the article about how dumb it was as payment for footing the bill.
- crypt, on 03/11/2008, -2/+12Better buy 2, just incase one gets lost
- riah, on 03/11/2008, -1/+10My first conspiracy thought was it's an attempt to coax a free replacement.
- DarthTater, on 03/11/2008, -2/+11Wait, but what's a newspaper?
- holmenb, on 03/11/2008, -1/+9Dugg for linking to the printer friendly version.
- Namco, on 03/11/2008, -4/+12The Chicago Tribune.
- BossKey, on 03/11/2008, -3/+11What universe are you living in? From what I've read, the majority of reviewers have said the SAME THING: That the MacBook Air is too underfeatured as a primary computer, but is very desirable as a satellite to a desktop or bigger laptop, if you have the bucks to support both. I've read that so many times I can't believe you're being dugg up.
- Namco, on 03/11/2008, -2/+9I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or call Jerry Springer.
- MCMLXXXII, on 03/11/2008, -9/+16My great grandfather's uncle's wife's sister's daughter won a Grammy. Here listen to my CD. It must be good based on my family's accomplishments.
- DiggzDE, on 03/11/2008, -1/+8Some lucky garbage worker just got a nice spring $$bonus$$
- solarbeat, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6Maybe he's the one who jacked it.
- HonoredMule, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6Thank you sir, for offering the first voice of rationale in this thread.
- Urkel, on 03/11/2008, -1/+7This isn't masked advertising for Apple. It's masked advertising for Newsweek. How many of us have EVER visited their site for tech news or reviews? Yet today they are suddenly a hotspot for a tech fix? You can't buy publicity like this. (Oh wait, you can. It costs $1800)
- AllYourBase3, on 03/11/2008, -3/+9What a ***** idiot.
oh and I can keep my dell laptop on my lap for hours without "discomfort" What kind of pussy can't tolerate a few pounds on their lap? - Charlotte_Web, on 03/11/2008, -4/+10My obvious point being that the Levys would seem to have more to lose by engaging in some unethical marketing scheme.
- TodoInTX, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6Thank you, Mitch Hedberg
- catachip, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6The base model, that almost everyone who gets one buys, is $1800. That's like saying the Mac Pro is $16,000 because I can configure one with 8 core processors, 32 GB of ram, 8 TB of storage and such... you're just creating propaganda.
- bjornski, on 03/11/2008, -1/+7For being a dumbass? Or for the free advertisement?
- Urkel, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6Newsweek Macbook Air Review: 30 hits
Newsweek Writer Throws Away Macbook By "Accident": 5million hits
Whether it is true or not, this was the best $1800 Newsweek has ever spent on marketing because every site on the planet is now linking to Newsweek for "Tech News". - EricPeters, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6Especially if said laptop is a $2000 investment.
- ravensncrows, on 03/11/2008, -0/+5i agree with fake steve, he jacked it himself
