What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Hank LedgerApple is reportedly putting a touchscreen on the MacBook Pro, after years of saying that was an iPad thing.

  2. Hank LedgerMarisol Teague is a lifestyle creator who has already built a sponsored morning routine around it. Marisol, the laptop isn't announced.

  3. Marisol TeagueHank, it's confirmed. A leaker on Weibo called it one hundred percent. I start every day tapping my celery juice, and use my code TOUCHGLOW.

  4. Hank LedgerMacworld says leakers usually avoid absolutes. So that one is unusually sure of himself. What's step one of the routine?

  5. Marisol TeagueStep one, I look at the screen with intention. Step two, I touch it. Use my code TOUCHGLOW twenty, plus a free lanyard.

  6. Hank LedgerBloomberg's Mark Gurman said October twenty-seventh. Macworld says Apple is expected to unveil it October twenty-eighth. Which day is your morning?

  7. Marisol TeagueBoth. I wake up twice. Use my code TOUCHGLOW twenty-eight, valid on the twenty-seventh, or the twenty-eighth, depending on the universe.

  8. Hank LedgerSteve Jobs said in twenty ten that vertical touch surfaces are ergonomically terrible. Does your routine cover that?

  9. Marisol TeagueI stretch. Use my code TOUCHGLOW twenty-eight stretch, buy one arm, get the other arm half off.
