This is Nelson. Nelson has my stolen iPhone.

This is Nelson. Nelson has my stolen iPhone. When Katy McCaffrey couldn’t find her iPhone during a recent Disney Cruise, she suspected the worst, and with good reason. Despite all those stories you read of stolen iPhones being recovered using Find My iPhone, I know from personal experience that not only can’t the police really do anything (my wife’s iPhone was... Read More

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... 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... Read More

Low Battery Temporary Tattoos

Whether you’re looking for a way to let mom know you’re hungry or to let the boss know you need to go home early, these Low Battery Temporary Tattoos are brilliantly stupid.

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... Read More

Note to self: Do not buy iPhones while vacationing in Turkey

Usually when I travel (and even more so now that I have kids) I end up buying a bunch of cheap, random, crappy souvenirs that I almost immediately throw out or put in a box when I get home, never to be seen again (with the notable exception of these 2-headed wolf neck pillows embroidered with the Canadian flag that my kids just HAD to have when we went to Niagara Falls. Seriously,... Read More

Redefining iPhone “protection”

“Don’t hate the Playa, hate the game”. Or, do what I do, and hate Chris. It should be fairly easy to do, after watching this video for the Playa iPhone case by Annex. Honestly, the idea of keeping a condom in your iPhone is pretty smart, as I often have no idea where my wallet is, but I seem to always know where my iPhone is. Of course the reason I always know... Read More

I’m not sure why everyone keeps sending me this…

I mean, what makes you guys think I would have any interest AT ALL in watching two hot naked Ukranian girls unbox a new iPad? I mean, yes, I was mildly interested in watching naked Ukranian girls unbox the iPad 2 last year, but that was totally different. And just as with the iPad 2, I still wonder how a new iPad made it to the Ukraine so quickly. Of course, these shots could easily... Read More
