Simon Pegg Shrinks, Roasts Apple

[MCMunroe]

I guess my understanding is that on Toms the "News Feed" colum is regergetated fluff. As such I don't expect more. The hard info is in the Features sections.

*chuckles* Simon Pegg, I'll never tire of you. Unless 10 years passes and your still stuck in 2010.

If I had simon pegg's money, I'd buy 3 of em just to practice my baseball swing.

The poster of this article has completely misrepresented Simon Pegg's intentions. He wasn't 'roasting' the iPad, he was using the fact that the iPad looks a lot like an oversized iPhone to make a funny picture. How unbiased a news article can you get?????

BTW he's also a Mac user and owns a MacBook Air.

Daily Show did that gag when the thing first came out. Not to take anything away from Pegg, just giving due credit.

No..just no.

Jon Stewart originally did the "i'm shrinking" gag

A product designer at Apple probably actually did the first "I'm shrinking" gag. Sounds like a school yard - "He said it first" "No HE said it first!"

I just wish someone would come up with an honest ad campaign for an honest competitor:

"It has a real processor. It has a real operating system. You can actually do something productive with it because it runs real software. It's not named after a feminine hygiene product. Sure, it doesn't have ten hours of battery life, but you can watch two movies on it, bqck-to-back. And, if you really think you need to be sitting in front of this for a longer period of time, you should spend the money you saved on a life."

I just love Simon pegg movies ... hot fuzz being my favorite, but how to lose friends is quite good as well.

"We first enjoyed Simon Pegg's offbeat brand of British humor in Shaun of the Dead".

Not true, I saw his offbeat brand of British humor years before that film. What about "Spaced" from 1999, a bit before SOTD in 2004.
