The iSaw Will Be The Bloody Apex Of USB Peripherals

GIZ!!! got an email response about this, it's a hoax of course.... here is the email reply i got about it: "Hello. We love that you liked the i.Saw enough to pre-order. Truth is, you already own a chainsaw. Your keyboard. Help save more trees by cutting down on unnecessary printing. Download PaperCut, a free application that plays the sound of a chainsaw each time you press Ctrl-P. Available for Mac and PC. Thanks for the support. Help spread the buzz, if you will :) PaperCut Team (formerly known as i.Saw Team)"

@glamajamma: This just made my day... well very early morning

iWant.

Of course, it will also need a complementary iBoomstick.

@World's Greatest Mactard!: I once went to a crematorium that gave a discount to burn victims.

I'm gonna hold out for the Bluetooth version.

Now just need to wait for the iCircular, iJig, and iRoute all for building domination!!!

Is iWindows next?

@an2an: I'm quite confused as to why they wouldn't just put a battery on the thing.

The USB interface makes no sense at all.

Are they actually going to make this?

@alexvanduyn:
Not so. Remember that USB was originally a PC format, while Macs had to make do with Firewire.

Also, the iPrefix, as was noted a few years back, was first used on the original iPhone. Remember the iPhone trademark that Apple had to buy out _after_ they announced their own iPhone without checking to make sure that noone already owned that trademark because they, like everyone else, had become complacent in the idea that only Apple used the iPrefix.

Now if only it could upload how many trees/people you've destroyed to the internet in order to compete with other chain saw enthusiasts.

Billie Mays is rolling in his iGrave

herbvee

now that's what I call hardware.
If you don't stop the usb services so you can "safley disconnect" will it turn on, and kill you?

@glamajamma: haha good one. i own both a mac and a 20" bar

bagseed

ROFL. Genius.

Now all we need is an iCame and iConquered and the set will be complete!

Calobi

What... no firewire?

@chorx:

It wasn't the first post and I made sure of that.

Perfect for "Saw VII": movie begins with an Apple fanboi waking up to a Macbook displaying a news story about Steve Jobs needing another liver transplant, and an i.Saw. Fanboi attempts to use i.Saw to cut out his own liver, only to find out the Macbook pro battery only has 30 seconds of power left. Fanboi screams in horror as the screen fades to black and displays the title..

This is nothing but pink-vaporware.

@alexvanduyn: Note..Sarcasm

@Baldyman1966 is Holding out for a Hero: BUT IT HAS AN I IN the name!!!! DAMNIT!!!!!

At least now people will have an excuse to ACTUALLY do hard work while using the computer. Just look at the possibilities: Now you'll see more updates messages via Twitter:

@Geckotek: Urban dictionary says: "E-literate itself being a pun on illiterate. It's a derogatory reference to someone who thinks they are 1337 ("leet"), but not."

I did not know this term until I looked it up.

I saw an iSaw at a saw sale on south shore

@an2an: New incentive to get a Macbook Air.

@Baldyman1966 is Holding out for a Hero: Also since it's USB powerd it's PC compatable.

@closhedbb: Well, if this helps: I think the company that came out with this will be coming up with a new line of masturbation products called "i.Came". Then they will work on a line of products for crazy dictators called "i.Conquered".

This will round out their product line so they end up with i.Came, i.Saw, and i.Conquered.

Get it?

bustedchain

@alexvanduyn: Unless this has an insulated blade it will thin out the number of mac customers as they try to follow your idea.

@closhedbb: Mac fanboy "but it has an i in front of the name, isn't that mac only?!?" PC Fanboy "eat my saw machead!" Not you Kaiser!

i can just imagine how this would run down a laptop battery.

Will it be USB 3.0 compliant?

@alexvanduyn: But is it a solution if it's compatable with both PCs and Macs?

closhedbb

@GundamX67: Got me singing!

I get the feeling this joke might make some company like IWOOT to make a real one.

Well you can only hope.

Dween

Ugh, the "cut-ya guy" just sucked.

NurseDave

iSaw the final solution to the Mac/Pc debate, "PC's are bet...Hey, whats with the...NOT MY PC, NOOOOOOOO" Macs cut PC's in half! Mac's + iSaw = TOTAL DOMINATION!

@jordguitar: you might not want to use the word "first" in your comments at all, for safe measures.

@Geckotek: Join the club.

IcemanD

wtf !?

@glamajamma: lol +1

@closhedbb: It's a well known fact that Mark is a rehabilitated chainsaw-murderer. He was declared insane, hence his not being in jail now. The recurring joke is that he will behead all of his Gizmodo superiors and claim ownership of the whole website, which he will use to market his upcoming series of teenage romance novels.

Hello Mister Walrus

@World's Greatest Mactard!: 2: Beanzawave. Leave it on for ~5 hours. Problem solved.

"the 3/8" saw chain is meticulously labeled as part no. 31170-an important point for industrial users."

Feel like I'm missing a joke here....

@an2an: I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day...

GundamX67

cuts down anything withing 3 feet of the usb plug...with extreme prejudice.

How about a USB Powered:

Sniper Rifle
Cremation Oven
Gas Chamber

QUICK! I NEED A CO-SIGNER STAT!!!

Does this mean I have to drag my laptop about when I'm cutting down trees?

Mac user 1: "Just got an iSaw"
Mac user 2: "What is it?"
Mac user 1: "USB powered chainsaw."
Mac user 2: "Whats a chainsaw."
Mac user 1: "I don't know."

glamajamma

@jordguitar: I'm assuming it needs to remain plugged in while in use or the battery will run out immediately. Therefore, the only thing there is to cut is your Macbook.

Purple Monkey Dishwasher

@jordguitar: Maybe it is more a question of Who rather than what.

CoolRiver45

@closhedbb: I second this. I have no idea what the hell he is talking about?

Whatcha going to cut first?

jordguitar

I'm gonna rule this place.

That is, until Goldman returns with a STIHL MS 880 Magnum chainsaw.

I don't get it. Someone please fill me in.
