Okay, this is a joke right? It's kind of a giveaway when the anchor says, "in the business world, people use computers for more than just dicking around!"

First off, I think wheel-typing is never going to replace a keyboard. Secondly, the Soduko killer?

I love it. Out of the numerous jabs at Apple, the Onion does one of the cleverest, and it's really well done too. I wonder who did the GUI for those fake computers.

I'm a pretty big Apple fan, but that was hilarious.
