It is disgusting how you guys rewrite history for Apple ad $$$

The ultra-thin laptop craze began in early 2008 when Apple first pulled a MacBook Air out of an interoffice envelope.

Don't you guys feel ashamed lying about facts in order to get a few $$$ from Apple's marketing department?

Sony weighs in at a svelte 1.85 pounds (also with battery) and is just 0.38 inches thick. The outline of each computer is smaller than that of a standard sheet of loose-leaf paper.

The date? July 21, 2004.

So no, Apple did not start the craze. By all measures, the MBA is a sales flop and, in typical Apple fashion, is 5 years late.
