Charlie Rose Gives the Ultimate MacBook Air Endorsement

Viewers of the PBS show Charlie Rose were broadsided Monday night by the host's obvious shiner. No, that Band-Aid wasn't a fashion statement.

Apparently Charlie Rose, took a tumble over the weekend.

With his spankin' new MacBook Air in tow, Rose tripped in a pothole while walking down 59th St. in Manhattan. Confronted with a decision, his face or the razor-thin, ultralight laptop, Rose chose to save the latter.

Producers told engadget "The MacBook Air is fine, he showed us the blood stains on it this morning."
