So 24 Carrot gold MacBooks... I'm just stunned. Perhaps floored would be the better term... Lets run the numbers:
A MacBook Pro, as of August '07, cost between 2 and 2.4 gs. Now add to that the 24 carrot gold casing and the diamond crested Apple logo on the back. Look at it: it's like a moth being drawn to a flame! It's so sexy (yes, gadgets can be sexy) that I could actually see someone putting up their house as collateral to buy one..
Not only does it make all white Mac products look cheap, but it is psychically calling you, and telling you that it is somehow different from all those "other" Macs. Don't listen! It is the same MacBook. This isn't all they've dipped in precious liquid metal, either!
You can stop drooling. The iPhone has been given the same VIP treatment, adding to the already staggering number of people who fear fingerprints on their "precious!" toy. Weren't devices supposed to be used, not thrown in a safe? I personally wouldn't feel safe with these collectibles anywhere but a Swiss bank account! At least there will be plenty of space for it, seeing as how they were emptied to pay for the beasts.
Doesn't this bring a whole new meaning to the term consolidation?

... Doesn't anyone consider how HEAVY that would be!? Okay, it's a great status symbol and everything, but there is no way anyone would ever carry that around. It's not practical, it's too tempting for theft, and gold is really soft metal. It'd get all roughed up so easily! People are crazy....
