Review: MiLi Power Pack Battery for iPhone out-juices the Juice Pack
I think it is safe to say that the iTunes app store is the best thing to happen to 3rd-party battery pack makers since the mAh – particularly the addictive and battery-draining games available for the iPhone. For me, Fieldrunners was my power-sucking game of choice. I spent literally weeks of my life playing the game, many times with my iPhone tethered to my computer so I could charge and play at the same time. I never fully broke my Fieldrunners habit, but I was able to curb it slightly after a few months as the gameplay began to grow a little stale. So you’ll understand if I take it as a sign from above that I received PhoneSuit’s new MiLi iPhone battery pack just days before Subatomic Studios released their update to Fieldrunners and ensured I would not sleep for the next 2 weeks or so.
Design
The MiLi looks almost identical in basic form to Mophie’s Juice Pack, although, in my opinion, it looks much nicer. The MiLi is available with either a glossy black or white base to match the color of your iPhone, and both models offer a range of differently colored linings. The Black model comes with Read more

(Get it? “Made off”? NO ONE’S made that joke before, right?)
Ahh, the zoom lens. What would tabloid journalism do without it? Take a look at this shot from the February 20th episode of ABC’s 20/20.

Looks like we know where at least $2000 of Madoff’s clients’ money went…

Irrefutable proof that the Mac Pro is overdue for a makeover
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Mac Pro, Theft, design
The Mac Pro’s design has remained virtually unchanged since its PowerMac G5 days, and while Apple has thus far been able to successfully ignore my daily pleas for a redesign, I think even they may now have to admit the design is a bit long in the tooth. After all, once Dell copies you, it pretty much sucks the cool out of the room. Kind of like when even the nerdiest kid in school had a Swatch. (Who’s with me? The Swatch)
Check out Dell’s new Studio XPS 435 Desktop Computer. Basically they took the Mac Pro chassis, hit it with the ugly stick, and then covered it in shiny plastic. The result is as sexy as its name. They even left the Mac Pro’s grill peeking through at the bottom.
Ordinarily Dell’s “Apple copying” cycle is roughly 5 years behind Apple releases, so they’re a few months late with this, but hopefully it will be the kick in the pants that Apple needs to get a new model out the door.
