“My friend over at Phonetag, James Siminoff, thought it would be funny to hand over a Macbook Air as a ‘gift’ after we cut a cake for my birthday. I immediately used it to cut the cake, it’s so damn sharp it did a fine job. People thought it was funny enough to blog. So before this thing spreads, I thought I’d explain myself: It was a combination of wine and a hand rolled cigar that did this,” Rahul Sood, CTO for HP’s Global Gaming Business.

MacDailyNews Take: What an excellent way to demo Apple’s “thinnovation!”
MacDailyNews Note: No, he’s not wearing an HP shirt.
Just proving that the MacBook Air takes the cake…
Earlier, they used a Zune to cut the cheese.
But is it sharp enough to cut through a tin can and yet still fine enough to slice a tomato?
HP has a gaming business?
I wish James Siminoff was my friend.
“Let them eat cake!”
@ bjh
That was brilliant.
“Earlier, they used a Zune to cut the cheese.”
But the cheese bent the Zune!
yes, yes, but does it blend?
What’s more important HP people give Apple’s as gifts, not HPs.
that’s Apples, not Apple’s, sorry
The Zune always seemed a bit bent anyway.
This the stupidest sh#t I’ve seen in a while…
@ron
for your explanation: “to cut the cheese” means to fart (slang).
So: “they used a Zune to cut the cheese” is a good one! LOL
The first thing I thought of when I saw the Air was that it could be used as a throwing star the shuriken, or used as a replacement for the hat in that Bond movie Dr. No (guessing movie here).
As in married to the danger.
Dangerous…
That’s Oddjob’s hat in Goldfinger.
1) Gaming? Huh?
2) HP is trying to sell its own Wintel machines. The latest, a subnotebook that is trying to compete with the Air.
3) This CTO is going to be in hot water, if not already.
Tacky.
Now that’s just gauche.
It’s a cake. Anything can cut a cake. A CD, USB cable, the Razr, my finer…
“…a hand rolled cigar… “
– Oh, so THAT’S what the kids are calling them these days!
That is the way to void your warranty

How do you explain this to the Apple Store Genius?
Sweeeeet!
@ One guy from Finland.
Eve made me do it!
Sure anything thin can cut a cake. That’s the point, the MacBook Air is thin enough to cut cake. Even someone drink and stoned figured that one out. Duh. Try cutting cake with your Dell laptop.
With Apple you can have your cake and eat it too!
