Jonathan Ive is rolling over in his highly stylized, brushed aluminum grave

Yeah, I know Ive isn’t dead yet, but this might kill him. Behold the Hoffbook. [via Flickr] The white MacBook iBook was never going to win awards for manliness before, but this takes “ghey” to a whole new level. Personally, I have the much manlier, drunk bloated Hasselhoff eating a cheeseburger on my MacBook Pro (see below). It just seems more professional.  Read More

iPhone suffers heatstroke

Looks like the iPhone needs sunscreen, at least when visiting Arizona in the summer. Jeff, a reader over at The iPhone blog sent in a screenshot of his iPhone apparently suffering heatstroke. “Don’t sit next to a pool in Scottsdale Arizona when it’s 104 degrees or your iphone will melt away! So how to fix it fast? I put the iPhone between 2 cold beers and it worked!” “Here’s to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life’s problems”... Read More

Review: Pico P1 portable iPhone/iPod projector

For many, including myself, the iPhone has quickly become one of the most indispensable gadgets in our lives. The iPhone owes its great success in large part to the sheer number of devices it can replace. Obviously it is both a phone and an iPod, but it is also can serve as a GPS unit, does an admirable job serving as a Nintendo DS/PSP-replacement, and it also packs in a decent amount of laptop functionality with its above average web browsing and e-mail abilities. But can it... Read More

Canadian hardware store tricks Apple into paying for half its billboard

Canadian hardware store chain Rona has created one of the most brilliant billboard advertisements ever, and they couldn’t have done it without Apple. In an effort to get the word out that Rona not only sells, but recycles paint as well, they hung up this banner under one of Apple’s iPod nano “dripping” billboards. What better way to talk about recycling than to recycle someone else’s billboard into your own? Genius. [via jcxp]  Read More
