Charlie Rose Bravely Smashes His Face To Save MacBook Air
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/17/charlie-rose-face-plants-to-save-his-macbook-air/
“Viewers of the Charlie Rose show
tonight were stunned to see the normally composed Rose looking like he’d just been in a bar fight. He has a very bad black eye and a bandage over part of his forehead. I contacted the show’s producers to hear what happened. Earlier today, they said, Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th Street in Manhattan. He was carrying a newly purchased MacBook Air and made a quick (but ultimately flawed) decision while falling: sacrifice the face, protect the computer. “In doing so, he pretty much hit the pavement face first, unfortunately,” they said. “
