More like he's trying to present the responsible moderate view of NOT pretending to know everything, but Fox always wants a simple black and white narrative so they won't let him state things without certainty.

Thank you, that sums it up perfectly.

It's very clear they are stating that other slim laptops are clones of Apple's. There's no sense trying to sidestep it.

It's supposedly also posted on Google+, but I can't see that copy because I'm not a member.

I was going on the lyrics to the song itself. I suppose he could have drifted into space and encountered an obelisk, then ??????... Profit!

T9 kind of worked though... at least the phones I used asked what word I wanted from a list instead of assuming I meant to type something else then inserting the substitute if I didn't catch it in time.

This article accuses Asus of making MBA clones. Unless it's implying somewhere that the Macbook Air is a clone of something else, that seems to imply Apple invented the thing Asus is copying?

Haha, yeah but I didn't feel like doing a full rant this time.

Oh Gizmodo... Apple didn't invent everything.

I used to listen to my mom's old 45RPM single of this as a kid and thought it must be one of the more horrible ways to die... but it did still fascinate me.

When I think about it, I guess I'd use various different terms to describe the newness of a car, and the meanings would vary... A "new" car to me is a year model greater or equal to the current calendar year. So a 2010 car is not "new" now.

Spec sheet racing? You're arguing an anecdote. I could counter with my own - I'm uncut and never had any issue... period. I was taught to wash as a toddler, and I did. Having the experience I do now though, if someone took my foreskin, even perfectly painlessly, with no complications or scarring or evidence it was…

I understand the need to counter ignorance, but the accusation's hit his nerve already no matter how weird and inappropriate this article seems (and how there's no other explanation yet.) He really can't see that it's NOT the case of him being the only guy on the planet who understands PC gaming, while everyone else…

Penile cancer is very rare, so the correlation is shaky. Aside from the possibility of phimosis, "health issues" are taken care of by minimal hygiene standards. Typical infections are quite minor, and serious diseases are easily stopped by a condom in the developed world without resorting to nonconsentual genital…

Sounds incredibly rare, but if only... It ought to cost enough to make you seriously reconsider cutting up someone's genitals permanently before they have the ability to say "no!"

Interesting and good to know. Copying from another poster, I'll change my recommendation to the Asus Eee keyboard then! (...if someone has a way to slave it to a more powerful PC.)

When I suggested it, I only half-believed it. The people running the site can be excitable about a new toy (good!) and I'd really trust the integrity of the founding staff. The article was really bizarre after the response to the earlier post though. Sadly, it's looking shadier and shadier now.

Thanks. It's not the end of the world though. I just followed MasterDex to PXOD and it looks like many have gone before me (if it's a project of DeanB's, it figures!)

No, I meant conspicuous. It is also suspicious, but in a blatant and grandiose way.

Thanks. I will definitely check it out! It seems Kotaku only reads the comments now to punish dissenters or write the opposite of what everyone's saying to get a storm of comments on a story... What I'd give for the old invite-only banhammer Monday version of the site. That was really something special.
