Turns out ol' Charlie was carrying his MBA and tripped... and rather than sacrifice his MBA to the cold, hard sidewalk, he protected it and did a faceplant resulting in a black eye and (what looks like) stitches. His MBA just got a little blood on it.

Charlie: Love ya, man, but get yourself a case for your computer!

Looks fake

But if true, It must have been in a case or box, right?

I mean.....NYC.

you're right, that flying macbook air looks a little suspicious. ;)

I flipped on the tv and saw Charlie looking like he had been mugged and wondered myself what had happened. So I googled it and found this: http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2008/03/18/charlie_rose/

It's possible a good gush of wind sent that thing flying considering how light it is.

Looks like there should be way more swelling... but way cool if this did really happen.
