Looks like MacBooks might want to start taking the train

Man, MacBooks just keep crashing! Last month we reported on a MacBook Air that survived a horrifying airplane crash, continuing to boot despite sustaining massive injuries that rivaled its owner’s broken neck. Well, it looks like MacBooks might want to start taking the train, because here we have yet another tale of smashed airplanes, broken necks, and a MacBook that just won’t die. On November 2, 2008, Len Johnson completed the first transcontinental biofuel flight... Read More

Megan Fox and her iPhone dress up – paint the town purple

I know, I know. This is about the 40th Megan Fox and her iPhone picture we’ve run, but it appears I am physically unable to not post pictures of Megan and her iPhone. It’s a sickness, and I need help. Luckily, I know that the first step is admitting I have a problem, which I have done. And I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the second step is dressing up like a police officer and pulling her car over… [via The Grumpiest]  Read More

I don’t believe this guy has 6 friends

I’m not saying the MacBook Air isn’t popular, but I have yet to see one in the wild, nor do I even know a guy who knows a guy who owns one. So forgive me if I don’t believe that not only does this guy know six other people with MacBook Airs, but all six of them have the exact same hinge problem. Well, at least we know the Air has a brighter screen than the IBM (and can apparently type in a bigger font as well). Maybe he was just trying to scare his iPhone into... Read More

LEGO My iMac!

If there’s one thing I love more than Apple gear, it’s LEGOs. Well, OK, there’s nothing I love more than Apple gear, but LEGOs are a close second. Maybe third, after chocolate. That’s why I particularly love this LEGO G4 iMac made by Bjarne Tveskov out of a 7-inch digital picture frame. “There is no Apple hardware inside (for now),” writes Bjarne, “but the screen can display videos, images and TV (there’s a digital TV tuner built... Read More

And the award for “Quickest Conversion of a News Headline into an iPhone Video Game” goes to…

Sniper vs. Pirates, where you need to blast the evil (Somalian?) pirates off their raft and free their hostage crew members. A rowdy crew of heavily armed pirates has kidnapped your crew, and their fate is in your stalwart hands! You have limited amunition [sic] and a tattered bullet proof vest. Battle the bloodthirsty mauraders [sic] across three intense levels of difficulty. Touch the screen and drag your finger to zoom in and line up your scope, then tap to fire precision... Read More

I hate 13-year olds

God, I am so pissed at 13 year old Connor Muicahey of Weston, Connecticut who basically stole my Billion iPhone app prize. That’s right, a 13-year old won my $10,000 iTunes card, my Time Capsule, my 32 GB iPod touch, AND my 17″ MacBook Pro. Wouldn’t YOU be pissed if someone did that to you? I mean, it’s almost like the kid broke into my house. Why didn’t he take my TV while he was at it? Man. And what’s even worse is that the Mac media seems... Read More

Ow My Balls!

Unlike the ironically named “Freeballin’” pinball game, Ow! My Balls! is pretty much what you might think – a guy getting hit in the nuts for points, although to be fair, the game is slightly deeper than that, as there ARE fart jetpacks. Ow My Balls! is a comedy game that brings top shelf kicked-in-the-crotch humor to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Ow My Balls! incorporates gravity simulation, hilarious sound effects and directional acceleration tactics... Read More

ALL the cool kids will be using this

Are you tired of always missing out on the latest trends? Well, here’s your chance to be a real trend-setter, because I predict absolutely EVERYONE will have one of these badboys attached to their iPod in about a month. Yes, the Music Balloon is truly high on fashion, and it’s 7-Watt power system is sure to not only get the party started, but keep it going all night (or up to 5 hours, whichever comes first). Indeed, apparently both young and old alike will be... Read More

Games you should be playing: Flood-It!

I just downloaded Flood-It! for the iPhone, and you should too. Why? Because it’s a pretty sweet puzzle game, AND it’s free. Flood-It! is a unique strategy game (at least to me, although I suppose everything is based off something these days). Flood-It!’s developers describe the gameplay thusly: “Flood It! is a simple yet addictive strategy game in which you have to flood the whole game board with one color in less than the allowed steps. You start from... Read More

This looks all kinds of stolen

I was somewhat surprised to see that Nintendo had released its first iPhone game today, the cult classic Donkey Kong, and even more surprised to see it only cost 99¢. Of course, a quick click revealed the game is not from Nintendo at all, but from a French developer called VeryGames. The first thing to tip me off was the splash screen image on iTunes. I don’t know which Anime porno they stole that girl from, but the princess in Donkey Kong NEVER looked that hot. Clue... Read More
