    Oh the Mactarded irony

    Remember how in the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" adverts, the PC was constantly being picked on for making graphs and pie charts? Well if you do, Apple have released their new iWork product, with the boxart on the main website. But wait, what is this?



    Is that what I think it is? The "W" is a graph and the "o" is a whole pie chart??

    Discuss.

    And here I thought productivity and substance were against the Apple ethos.

    Oh i'm sure they'll make sure it turns out to be a bunch of flashy graphics with a really bad math engine. Remember, 2+2 can equal 3 if you make it sexy.

    I've seen better logos made in the 80s.

    If it's shiny, and made by Apple, I'll buy it.
