Apple seems to agree that cables hanging from the back of the iMac do not look nice. If you watch the promotional video carefully you see the machine without a power cord, no wire between iPod dock and the machine, and also no wire to the (non-wireless) keyboard. Now as it turns around there is a picture on the screen. Hey, wireless power!

That's terribly clever, although delivering 230VAC through the air (even 120 or whatever they use in the States) sounds like a health hazard to me.

There are cords there. You just can't see them. I licensed my invisibility patent to Apple. I developed it to make my full head of hair invisible when viewed from certain angles. ;-)

It runs entirely on static electricity!

It looks great, but you spend a lot of time rubbing your hair with balloons and petting cats.

Wool sweaters will also be a returning fashion trend.

It sucks your brain power out. Let the computer do the thinking.
