Or is it Brazil? Or some country that shares a border with Portugal and Brazil -- I can't remember the name but they have some weird language that doesn't come from Indo-European and nobody can figure out where it came from. I don't know. Anyway, here's a shot of Pedro Pentelho of Companhia de Peidar Sancto showing off the Linux-based device at a press conference in Madrid earlier today. According to our engineering team this is a very nice machine and I hope you Portugalians are proud of yourselves. All those people who say Portugal is some kind of impoverished backwater should be ashamed of themselves. Now go eat some bacalhau and celebrate.

You really enjoy provoking people don't you? Totally hilarious by the way :)
Mr. Jobs you are very obsessed with Super PCs. Does this distract from your time as iPhone advocate?
"madrid is NOT in portugal!!!!!"
in 3, 2, 1 ....
Apparently Safari crashes on that as well.
I love the iron mouse
Absolutely hysterical...
isn't it somewhere near where lilliput? those wacky lilliputians, i swear...
The reaction from the Por-tards could be furious.....
They may invade someone over this.
That outta be a powerful enough computer for their level of literacy.

For someone who doesn't speak Lisbonian, you sure know the funny words.
*snicker*
AHHH, So the Apple IV really did exist!
There aren't geography classes in USA? Did you miss it all? I'm amazed with your lack of world geography basic knowledge! Try a little Google Earth research BEFORE post!
Steve-that's a photo from MSFT's skunk works—apparently located in Portugal, if your information is correct—where they've been working on a category busting super PC for decades. Gates' command: use existing technology.
Is this Portugal, or Ebonia?

Hey Steve,
I think the country that shares a border with Portugal and Brazil is the Atlantic Ocean.
Not too wet in Caledonia,

This is a rare photo of the IBMRCA/Black&Decker 5000, developed initially for Al Gore when he was inventing the Internet.
It's all just a misunderstanding. "Uber" means "homemade" in Lisbonian. It's not a threat to the Macpro unless Pedro can hand crank that thing up to 3ghz.
ROTFLMAO. 'Nuff said.
New World Portugalians
Prince Hank Laughed
discover Afric and India
Farking Portugalians were eating roots and berries and living in caves in Fatima, lighting farts for fun while stariung at images on the caves 1000 years after the yet- to- be discovered Indians in the sub continent were building dams and fire welding iron beams. But wait there's more. the Portugalians were fishing for cod off the Grand Banks and didn't realize they were two-days sail from the east coast of America.

So when will I be able to buy a CasaSuper do Tempo do Divertimento Aprende-o-Tron com o Acessório do Estilo do Rato?
(Translated to Portuguese with my Mac's Translation widget!)
Is it correct that the 100-escudo PC was invented by great professor PeleEscuraPonte ?
I think Gabriel wins the prize for first Portutard to take the bait!
Don't worry, FSJ is (maybe?) English, so he loves the Portuguese. Even if he's not a Chelsea supporter.
Brazil is not anywhere close portufal you ful. you call people a frigtard, but you are a RETARD
I think he means Tortuga. They sell great calamari.
Hm.... Calamari...
I get some mad sometimes I read things like this garbage. What think you?! Go to New Bedford and lie down on the pool table at Big Dan's Tavern you sleeper with pigs. I spit on you. Lebanese? What with you man? You think we funny at your joke expense?
I never buy Apple now.
Funny... but the real Steve wouldn't be that stupid dumm idiot.
Man... I want that computer!*giggles* it's funny.
That is funny, yeah.
The best part about this post is the comments. I love people falling for it and calling YOU the idiot...
I think you need to move this post to the greatest hits section
Now we know Fake Steve is brazilian...
"Try a little Google Earth research BEFORE post"?
Hey Gabriel, Hulk not like Portutard! Him imitate Hulk! Make Hulk angry. Him go over to middle east and crush!
Thats the best laugh I've had in a year. Most excellent.
Y'know, I honestly thought I'd stop laughing after FSJ had pulled this one about 20 times. I was wrong.
Still funny. Keep the Portutard bait coming, FSJ!
"Pedro Pentelho of Companhia de Peidar Sancto"
Great name, for whom understands portugalian! In which Lisbonian backstreet did you learn these words?
OOOHHH!! So Portugal is next to Brazil and its capital is Madrid!!
You always learn something new.
with all due respects, Mr Fake
after showing us through hundreds of posts how your geography and history knowledge equals those from a 1 year old baby, please send all posts FIRST thru a *filter* (anyone who went to school) to correct them, so you dont look so stupid.
that's what the real Jobs would do.
All right. I can't take it any more. I've come to the conclusion that at least half the commenters "correcting" you are trolls, posting their humorless complaints in what they see as a clever twist on your language and geography jokes. Otherwise, God help us.
Portugalian? Last time I checked the language was called PORTUGUESE (no offence to you Steve, I know you are just taking the piss.. I am referring to some of the comments...)
the picture was taken in cuba a few years ago...
Yeah... I think that the latter half of the commentators are paid microtard doofs. They can't seriously be this thick. Brendan_2, thank you for a good laugh. Seriously.
FSJ: I don't know how you do it, but in a hundred years, I hope there are ways for the people of that time to read stuff we have today, like this post about portugal, and many other posts. I hope that this blog is not ephemeral like much of the internet is said to be. Thanks very much
And I like the round-about reference to the basque country and language, especially with the news that the ETA is growing a wild hair. Especially because right now I am just to the south of the basque country in navarra, and I was just in San Sebastian where there were demonstrations for/against ETA and basque independence
I'm ashamed of being Brazillian. This photo is very famous here. Probably shotted on a favela from Rio.
Don't be ashamed coz at least we got an Apple Office here ;-)
Fake Steve, you've topped even yourself. I'm in awe. Way to take it to the next level.
The thought of all those people fuming about your "ignorance" has got me smiling at my computer screen. I think you just made my day.
"...Pedro Pentelho of Companhia de Peidar Sancto..."
Steve! Do you even know what that means?!
You rude "little" blogger!
BTW: Look who Portugal got next to:

Irony? XD
This is also bait to Braziltard and Spanitard.
A country with some weird language that doesn't come from Indo-European and nobody can figure out where it came from
In Europe ? Albania. You know, that super-dangerous country hiding WMD. Or so they say in "Wag the Dog".
But if you just meant a country whose language nobody can figure out where it came from, and that produces über-computers, you're just talking about South Korea. and that's not not a rumor, just a weekly report.
-S.
HEHEHE!!!
You guys are so stupid...
I don't even know were to start...
Portugal near Brazil?
Madrid in Portugal?
Lisbonian? Portugalian? Tortuga?
How can you be so ignorant?
"I can't remember the name but they have some weird language that doesn't come from Indo-European"???? -Well, the language is portuguese and it cames from the latin. You know... Like italian, or spanish (they speak spanish in other places besides Mexico!!!), or French...
And BACALHAU is a fish, in case you don't know it, because i really don't know were your ignorance and stupidity ends.
So, when you want to make a joke about something, atleast know something about it. ok?
Now, some portuguese:
"Cabrões de merda, Punheteiros da Porra. Só querem mamar caralhos e enfiá-los na cona das vossas mães"
Oh... but it's true. There's an uber PC being made in Portugal called "Magalhães". Check it out:
http://blogs.safira.pt/alex/2009/01/17/olpc-vs-magalhaes-portuguese-intel-classmate-pc/
That's also a wonderful opportunity for you guys to mock my country whenever you feel the need to do so.
May the force be with you. xD
