The Apple Wheel: "Everything is just a few hundred clicks away"

Is it just me, or does this seem all to plausible?

I could actually see this as a secondary "input" device, like the touch pad on a laptop.

It could also be useful if the designer assumes people will only use the gadget for the internet. In which case the only terms it needs are "LOL", "WTF", "anna nichole smith sex tape", and "Aplle is so much better in ever way tehn Micro$oft, so shut up!".

Wait... what? And here I was getting ready to pre-order.

One word of warning: use a CUT on that.

I was going through my F-list and all of a sudden it BLARED OUT of the speakers (and I didn't even know it was there at the time -- your post was like 3/4 of the way down the page).

Someone spent a lot of time doing that. If that someone would actually expend their time doing something USEFUL... (say, like helping me turn one of my stories into a film)

Oops! I didn't think it would start automatically. Its never happened before. Oh well a cut there will be ASAP.

As for the producers, at least they're getting paid to do this stuff, and they CAN do it. My fling with filmmaking happened a long time before cheap computer effects, so we had the ideas, and no way to implement them.
