Something for the MAC fanboys

"It remains to be seen if the wheel will catch on in the business world where people use computers for actual work and not just dicking around. Moving on, Police warn that the Sudoku killer will kill either 1, 4 or 9 victims next."

Genius. They must have a lot of money :p
 
When is it going to released over here?
 
It does look neat, but then again, so does all Macs, all looks and no substance. :eek: :D.

Ooonnnly kidding, but . . . I just cannot see how "the wheel" can ever replace the keyboard. A glorified mouse, yes, and it may even enhance gameplaying if the same thing works on Windows-based laptops. But I really can't see how "the wheel" could ever replace speed touch tying. It looks so awfully fiddly if you ask me. And even then it seems to be based on current touch pad technology but only on a much larger scale.
But let's see how it goes. I won't be chucking away my wireless keyboard not just yet.

But I have watched all of it . . . unless there's another video? I know I'm missing something there but I just couldn't see the appeal of it. :thinking: :shrug:
Besides, it's taken me the best part of ten years before I can actually speed touch type without looking at the keyboard. I don't want to start all over again with a new input method! :shake:
I mean, have you noticed how someone in that video had a go at it, and the results spoke for itself? :suspect:
I'll have another look at the video, see if I've missed something out.

EDIT: Nope, my statement still stands. I mean, does it involve moving the finger around the wheel to get the letter you want, then press, then move wheel around to next letter, and so forth? That looked so sloooow and long-winded. Heck, even I type faster when I send text message using my mobile and I'm slow on that one.
Perhaps it's something I will need to look up on.

Aaaaah. It's a spoof thing! :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

I could never get American humour! :thinking: :bang: :D Just give me good ol' basic Brit comedy any day. :lol:

Funny I would get caught out by this what with my cartoons and that.

Now I feel very very stupid.

Go in peace child and sin no more :)
 
Now I've re-read this thread, I am feeling a right plonker. If Marcel is reading this, can he put me on a temporary ban on TP to stop me making even more of a fool of myself? :bonk: :help: :cuckoo:

:D :D :D :D I really honestly thought it was nothing more than a glorified iPod. I'm still reeling over this. I must have been more tired than I thought at the time.

:help: :D
