    um just fyi:

    From IMDB>COM
    The film contains numerous references to Apple computers:

    -when WALL-E is fully charged by the sun, he makes the same “boot up” sound that most of Apple’s Macintosh computers have made since circa 1996.

    -WALL-E watches his favorite movie every night on the screen of an iPod

    -The villainous Autopilot’s voice is provided by Apple’s text-to-speech system, MacinTalk -EVE’s sleek design as an evolution of WALL-E’s parallels the sleek iMac design having evolved from the boxy, beige Apple IIe. Steve Jobs, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Apple Computer, was CEO of Pixar until its acquisition by Disney in 2005, and as a shareholder and member of the Disney Board of Directors is still actively involved with the company.

    EVE was co-designed by Apple’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Design Jonnathan Ive, the man responsible for the design of the iPod.

    so um yea joke=fail

    You idiots…

    It’s not serious. It’s kinda poking fun. Stop being so damn literal, go outside for once, and try to interact with some real people.

    Sheesh!

    Plus, I bet this game was created WAAAAYYYY before Wall-E… The movie obviously ripped the design off of the game. Pixar needs to watch it’s ass right about now, from the looks of it.

    Guys, I’m not sure, but I think that Dr. Macenstein was using a form of humor called *sarcasm*

    Humour inside, guys!

    Boy, they’re not even trying to hide it in that righthand screenshot.

  7. SirCrumpet says:

    Xero, I *think* that was kinda the point.

    Sarcasm? On my internet!? Say it isn’t so!

  8. Adam says:

    That, Xero, is the sound of the joke whooshing over your head.

  9. Jim says:

    um, just fyi for you Xero:

    You’re a complete freaking idiot. Are you so full of yourself that you completely miss the joke? Any idiot knows Apple’s CEO owned Pixar. Most all Apple fans know of all the references in the movie, and of Jonny Ive’s work on the character.

    What is not known is how you seem to miss the entire point of that post.
