Charlie Rose Saves MacBook Air Instead of Face
Well Charlie Rose has proven his dedication to the gadget gods. The well-respected journalist, while strolling down 59th Street in New York City, tripped on a pot hole and had to make a quick decision: Save his face, or save his new MacBook Air. In case you can't tell by looking at the photo, Rose decided his super-thin laptop was more important.
But far be it for brutal facial trauma to keep one of the hardest working journalists in television from working. Rose showed up, blood-stained-MacBook-Air-and-all, to do his regular interview show looking like he had been on the losing side of a heavy weight prize fight.
Now that, our friends, is dedication.

Do they not offer service plans on those new little MacBook Airs? Seriously, he is lucky it was only his face. Buy the warranty on it and save face.

Hey pal you need to know the differance between commitment and dedication; it is sort of like the differance between a chicken and a pig: a chicken is committed to it's job, that of providing eggs. it endures poor working conditions and no recognition from it's peers often getting pecked for it's trouble.
Now a pig on the other hand provids BACON, HAM, AND PORK ROAST; that is dedication. next time let the computer take the hit, and display a little commitment.

I agree with Charlie. I am a person who does not experience gravity as a constant. Instead, I find it variable, sometimes in highly localized phenomena, sometimes a high gravity day can appear to affect the whole known universe. I walk wearing an iPod. It was a gift that I could never have afforded to purchase for myself, but now that I have one, I treasure it. Given my experience with gravity, I have become a skilled faller which is to say, I get a little banged up and a little scraped , but nothing broken. However, since I have added the iPod to my ensemble, I have changed my falling method to protect my iPod, rather than my head. I have health insurance for my head. My iPod is long out from under warranty. Nice job Charlie.

That's Charlie Rose! Pretty impressive that he still showed up at his show. I bet most tv people would cancel if they had a nail broken.

Rose is uber-cool. I've enjoyed watching him for years.

I like Charlie, I met him years ago, and I don't have anything bad to say about the man. "news" people need to go out and find news stories and stop doing this ridiculous stuff.

MY HERO!!
As an IT professional I can tell you it's often easier to heal that to find the backup of your travel plans for today or the "special backline- Don't give this to anyone" phone number on your backup (when WAS my last backup?).

Uh, Charlie, it looks more like someone punched you. I've heard that old "tripped in a pothole" story before...

It is too bad the laptop did not hit him in the mouth-this guy talks tooooo much!

Always have liked Charlie but never knew he was so dumb.

Now that you have paid apples crazy price, you might concider a well padded computer case, Mine has handles and wheels , keeps your hands free to break your fall, also lets you carry all the chargers softwear ect

Hey Charlie, you got my vote! That eye will heal but that notebook is a different story.
colleen @ Mar 20th 2008 11:00PM
Hey, the body can heal, the laptop cannot.......

I love the MacBook Air commercial. Does anyone know if the song is a real song or just a commercial jingle?
bb @ Mar 20th 2008 11:48PM
