The best part is Han Solo's reaction.<p>Steve is saying "And what it does is extraordinary. You can browse the web with it. It is the best browsing experience you've ever had."<p>Cut to Solo rolling his eyes and looking away in disgust. I was doing the exact same thing mentally during that segment.<p>"browsing experience?" I remember when 'experiences' were notable, like getting the laid the first time, overcoming your fear of heights while rockclimbing, or boot camp.<p>Now the Reality Distortionists and the marketing industry want us to forget that not everything in our overly packaged and routine lives is an 'experience'.<p>In this at least I'd rather be bitterly aware than blissfully ignorant.

The idea was good. The execution was pretty lame, though.
