Introducing the Vapor Ware Leap for Mac!
It’s always refreshing when talented 3D artists stop making fake iPhone 5 prototypes and turn their attention to something more important – like making fake XBox Kinnect for Mac videos! Check out this pretty sweet video for something called “The Leap”, a little box (too little to actually work, methinks) that basically adds Minority Report/Tony Stark tech to your Mac. The video is very well done, and the only thing technically wrong with it is that by the... Read More
Review: Scosche backSTAGE Pro headrest mount for iPad
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that kids suck. Especially on 16-hour road trips. I honestly don’t know how my dad didn’t kill my brothers and I on our childhood drive to Florida back in the days before iPods – we must have been SO annoying. Well, luckily today’s parents have a little something called an “in-dash DVD player” to hypnotize their children on extended car rides (although I see some “so-called”... Read More
Robo-Steve reviewed – new model in the works
Hey, remember AP-PEL (aka “Steve”), the Apple-themed Robot from 3A Ashley Wood we told you about last September? Of course you do! You’ve memorized every post we’ve made. Well, someone actually bought one! TheFwoosh got their hands on one of the $200-$300 little guys and gave it a very in-depth review. Suffice it to say, if you think you want it based on the pictures, odds are you do, as it appears to be awesome. New since our last report is the super-cool... Read More

Android tells Apple to Suck It
If there’s one thing that has been missing in the cellular phone wars being waged across the globe, I think we can all agree it’s sodomy. Or, at least it WAS until one enterprising phone store in China decided to let the world know that Apple sucks Droid’s D – – K. There’s a couple things worth noting here, most notably that the Droid apparently suffers from a form of sitophilia – the sexual attraction to fruits, AND that it has a decent sized rig.... Read More
Having a Cell Phone was ALWAYS cool
Wow, this will take you back, assuming you were alive in the 80′s. Witness Zack Morris’ (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) awesome cell phone from Saved by the Bell. It’s a slow news day Friday, so there’s really nothing overly Apple about this post, other than Apple should really hire Gosselaar to be the iPhone’s next spokesperson given how ahead of the cell phone trend he was. That’s assuming Apple didn’t blow their celebrity-hiring wad on the... Read More
Want to know how mentally unstable you are? There’s an App for that
And on the odd chance it’s accurate, I appear to be ready to go off at any minute. The app is called iMind & Mood(iTunes), and it’s free today. The app lets you choose a mental disorder (ADHD, Depression, BiPolar, etc.) and after answering a few questions, you get a diagnosis and suggestion as to whether or not you should seek treatment. I don’t know how accurate it is – I mean, I’m a mess, but I didn’t think I was quite this bad. Anyway,... Read More
Games that don’t suck: FIVE-O
What’s more exciting that Scrabble? EVERYTHING! But, imagine if someone added MATH to Scrabble! Now THAT would bring some excitement to the game, RIGHT!??! Well, we’re in luck, because someone did add math to Scrabble, and it’s called Five-O ($1.99 iTunes link), and it’s kind of great. If you’ve played Scrabble/Words with Friends, you should be able to pick this game up pretty quickly as the gameplay mechanics are nearly identical, except the letters... Read More
