There will be a lot of desperate searches for lost MacBook Airs. And can you really blame a guy for losing something called Air?
Comment: wowee855, you sound like you need some recreation. Why don't you sell your body on the same streetcorner where your mother used to sell hers?
Comment: And by the way, I feel sorry for your wife. If my husband said the things like that about me in an article posted on a well-known website I'd also can his ass. Steven Levy, your a real waste.
Comment: I don't know why this idiot thinks anybody gives a *** that he can't keep track of his own things. Hey d-bag, did you really just write an article about how your a complete retard and can't keep track of expensive things and oh yea expect your employer to pay for? Loser. Seriously, if I hired someone to write an article and then they wrote an article about how they lost something I had to pay for I'd can their lousy ass. Keep track of your *** and Keep it to yourself.
Comment: I think you are the d*bag. What?, you are going to tell me you have never misplaced something. That was completely childlike of you to call him a "retard". Retardation is not something to make fun of people about. If you would of passed 2nd grade you would of known that.
Comment: @mrduck -
You're not too skeptical.
Remember, this is the same guy who thought he was "cute" with his scatological review of the MacBook Air.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/101113 "The Skinny on the MacBook Air" "Size matters, but has Apple gone too far?" " I had an assignment to follow around a mohel--the guy who does ritual circumcisions" "The Air is a lithe sheath " "really skinny" This douchebag has no shame.
Comment: Found it!!

Comment: To me this seems a lot like a manufactured urban legend, but maybe i'm just too skeptical.
Comment: Sounds a bit too much as an advertorial and manufactured urban legend to me. Maybe I'm just too skeptical.
Comment: You say you have done this kind of thing before and so has your wife - and you're still married. lalalalala however, seems to plot intentional revenge against his wife for something that, as you say, happens in every relationship. So, I say it sounds like he is very resentful and vindictive and I stand by my original comments. IN addition, it's entirely possible that he lost his silly possession himself, and forgot about it, then wants to blame his wife. That happens too. He just sounds like a bitter mean person. I feel sorry for his wife.
Comment: Guess we could call this the Deborah Barone Syndrome?...lol
For those of you who don't recall the Everybody Loves Raymond episode where Deborah throws out Ray's letter from Muhammad Ali in the throws of cleaning out a cluttered drawer in the kitchen.
I'm not saying his wife did it, but I have done this before as has my wife....It happens and we're still married...:0)
Comment: lalalalala - do you actually like your wife? Because it doesn't sound like you do. I'm glad it's not memarried to you. Bet your wife wishes it wasn't her married to you either. How about picking up after yourself, instead of leaving clutter around for your mama, er, I mean wife. Grow up.
Comment: What a loser dork.

Comment: Ohhh Steven,
I feel your pain - I have been considering purchasing the MacAir and your cautionary tale will make me think twice or at least how to better secure it.
Comment: Your MacBook Air is sort of like my iPhone. I somehow left it in the pocket of my jeans, and off the the wash they went! It would never have happened with my Treo 650. It was just so much bulkier.
In case you are wondering, the whole iPhone worked just fine - except the touch screen-- unfortunately, I had to pay to have it fixed - and that happened quickly. I could not imagine using another cell phone!
Comment: Walking the cat back....to the newspapers...should be able to call your MacBook...and that old Mac speech synthesis voice will give the GPS coordinates...

Comment: I have not misplaced my MacBook Air yet, but it is easy to see how that could happen. It is thin enough to be buried under newspapers, clothing or other stuff. It can be hidden by anything with a larger footprint. It can easily slip into a crevice and out of sight. Since there is so little weight, a MacBook Air does not gave a notable presence when you are carrying it which makes it more likely to be left behind.
What is needed is a software solution that allows a MacBook Air to be audibly tracked by another computer, cellphone or other device.
BTW, you should be able to confirm the presence of a hidden MacBook Air in the immediate area by attempting a pairing with an iPhone or other Bluetooth-enabled device.
Comment: Your Wife threw it out. Mine does that kind of mindless stuff all the time and then lies about it as to not look foolish. You should go clean out the closets and mindlessly toss out some of her shoes, then deny that you could have tossed some of her favorite shoes out with a bunch of other clutter. Any other vindictive activity will suffice, just as long as your wife suffers proportionately to your losing the MacBook Air. Don't tell her you cleaned the closet until later - after she has spent hours freaking out.
