  • newbill123, on 01/31/2008, -3/+41The pics are pretty funny but I wonder why a company like Apple hasn't already named their computer lines after the classical elements rather than price points of their target markets. It may not make sense for Apple, but heck, it'd be a good way to differentiate traits of hardware or even Linux distributions:
    Air -- Extremely small / lightweight
    Earth -- Baseline / solid
    Fire -- Blazing fast
    Ice -- Innovative / may freeze
    Aether -- Network / Server products
  • LogitechG15, on 01/31/2008, -1/+18My lap is always on fire when I use my Macbook.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2008, -1/+13I see what you did there, and you should be ashamed. No calling 'i see what you did there' on your own comments, especially if you have a recognizable avatar.
  • xenon221, on 01/31/2008, -2/+12I'd rather have the MacBook Earth than the MacBook Air, even if I had to water / fertilize it.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2008, -1/+11it was broken so they didn't show it. :(
  • fremeer, on 01/31/2008, -1/+10earth=base, not good at anything, not bad at anything
    fire=show offy, blazingly fast but expensive
    wind/air=thin
    water=small and easy to carry around(think eeepc)
    heart=useless

    when u combine them together you get

    Captain Macintosh!
  • frozenwookie, on 01/31/2008, -2/+10burried for being lame...
  • jj101, on 01/31/2008, -1/+9Poopy comments from fartbuttes. Thinking outside the sandbox there kid?
  • inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+8First thing I looked for here was a captain planet joke.......Now what does a macbook heart look like?
  • jrbrewin, on 01/31/2008, -3/+10sorry, but this is just the lamest thing i've seen in a long time. it's not funny. a good naming convention, but a stupid digg, and terible photoshopping.
  • ocauTMM, on 01/31/2008, -0/+7You should tone down on the porn browsing

  • chingy1788, on 01/31/2008, -0/+4so basically
    Earth = Macbook
    Fire = MBP
    Air = well Air
    Water for an EeePC equivalent
  • withoutamartyr, on 01/31/2008, -0/+4Good... good... now all I need is the MacBook heart, and I can summon Captain Apple to help fight Microsoft.
  • skippy562, on 01/31/2008, -0/+4thunder-gives you the shocker. || |
  • inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+4I like mac NEWS, this is a jerk of story, not related.
  • jrbrewin, on 01/31/2008, -0/+3dunno. He said "poopy"
  • DonSlice, on 01/31/2008, -0/+3I won't buy until MacBook Heart gets recognition.

  • Steinr, on 01/31/2008, -2/+5useless but fun....

    weird things make it to the front page these days, I think digg must have changed its algorithms.
  • Myonosken, on 01/31/2008, -1/+4Who the ***** says "poopie"?
  • Jektal, on 01/31/2008, -0/+3Can you even play Portal in OSX?
  • doctordbx, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2No Macbook Weighted Companion Cube?
  • bjornski, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2Steve does that with every Macbook Air anyway
  • kmedlin, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2This is pretty funny.

    What I thought was hilarious though were the two guys who commented on the actual site that:
    - Didn't know about the band Earth, Wind & Fire...
    - Called them fake like people were confused when they saw the pictures...

    I wonder if this is that character from Family Guy who kept following Peter around calling him a "phony."
  • manitoba98xp, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2Then just skim past it and don't click on it. Not that hard.
  • SierraAlpha, on 01/31/2008, -1/+3I have a feeling they'd think of something else for ice... perhaps it could be for portable devices. And yes I do have a sense of humour and I found it funny but I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.
  • smackhero, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2"Linux!"
    "Apache!"
    "MySQL!"
    "Perl!" (or PHP)

    "Go FOSS!"

    "by your powers combined, I am Richard Stallman!"

    Captain Stallman, he's our hero
    gonna take proprietary software down to zero.

    he's our powers magnified
    and he's fighting on FOSS's side

    Captain Stallman, he's our hero
    gonna take proprietary software down to zero

    gonna help him put asunder
    browsers that disregard open web standards

    "you'll pay for this Captain Stallman!"

    we're FOSS developers
    you can be one too
    'cause open source development is the thing to do

    proprietary licensing is not the way
    hear what Captain Stallman has to say!

    "The Source is Yours!"
  • RustyJ, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2I hear herpes is a bitch...
  • jeremyduffy, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2What a neat marketing strategy! It's fun stuff like this that makes Apple so popular. Example:

    The best Apple Ad ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvpGACmQaoI
  • altrego99, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Fire = Blazing fast??
    Not when you add Fox to it... at least not till version 3.

  • RevToTheRedline, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Wow really? People really waste their time making up stuff like this? Sad.
  • gumby013, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1I figured the MacBook Pump would be next.

    Gonna use violence to solve the world's problems!
  • FoxOrian, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Naming a networking/server computer line "Aether" is actually very interesting to me. Gives a nice level of depth. I'd like to see them do it.
  • SierraAlpha, on 01/31/2008, -1/+2Heart? Sounds like a "cutting-edge" processor.
  • karlaredor, on 02/01/2008, -0/+1haha! Where's captain planet?
