Found Footage: MacBook Air makes thin in again

Is anyone else worried about Apple's obsession with being thin? This issue has come up before, but while last time around it was supposed to be serious, this time it's just plain silly. While Apple is crowing about releasing the world's thinnest notebook, nobody's thinking about the self esteem of all those other laptops and notebooks out there. Instead they're left... well, you can see above. Hilarious.

Has anyone considered the feelings of these bulky notebooks, growing up in a world that values computers so small and thin that they fit in envelopes?!? Worry not, little laptops. ~~God~~ Dell, Lenovo or HP made you just the way you are, and it's possible to be big and beautiful all at the same time. Well, not Apple beautiful (come on now-- you could definitely stand to lose that optical drive), but beautiful in your own big, bulky way.

The thin obsession is going to backfire. A photographer in Australia refused to work a shoot with the MacBook Air and a runway model because they were too thin. http://www.iphonesavior.com/2008/01/worlds-thinnest.html

The MacBook Air has nothing on *my* MacOS machine. It is 0.31 inches thick across its entire area and runs MacOS X 10.5 "Leopard". It comes with 802.11g wireless, audio out and (this is going to give it away) an iPod docking port. I can check mail, use the web, look at photos, listen to music, etc. And it costs half as much as your typical Windows laptop many times its size.

The iPod Touch really is a little MacOS X computer, and that fact will only become more clear as the SDK comes out next month.

Awesome!

And yes, I have had to reassure my MacBook that it isn't fat and that black is a very slimming color.
