Well yea, this is a screenshot of that onion video from 15 years ago.
actually now that I think of it. this was a satire piece from when apple was about to reveal the first ipad, they literally said in a press release that it was going to be "a computer with no mouse and no keyboard" because they knew the media wouldn't stop talking about it. including the outlets that weren't paid to constantly talk about it
And contrary to popular belief the ipad was NOT the first tablet PC. The world's first tablet PC was made my microsoft in the mid 2000s and ran on windows XP nearly 10 years before the first ipad. and that windows tablet had twice as much ram, over 3 times the hard drive space, twice as many CPU cores as the first ipad that came out nearly a decade later
it's amazing what an ad campaign and a small percentage of incompetent windows technicians can do to public perception....actually that's not fair...There's plenty of idiots that think windows sucks just because they don't know how to use a computer and have the same problems on mac and linux they had on windows, because they're just stupid and it's because of that stupidity that microsoft hired the people in charge of developing windows now.
