I don’t know, call me skeptical, but…
Hopefully there’s a follow up book on how to WASH that money…
Author Dottie Randazzo’s new book How to Shit Money to Get an iPhone sounds interesting enough, however, I would imagine that depending on whether or not you are a current, under-contract AT&T customer, you might have to shit obscenely unhealthy amounts of money to get that iPhone. Hopefully there’s a “consult a physician“-type health warning somewhere on the back.
13 Things you may not know about Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs’ alleged liver transplant came as a bit of a shock to Apple fans this week. Given that Jobs is one of the most high-profile and rumored-about CEO’s on the interweb, sometimes we may feel we know everything there is to know about the man. However, Steve is like an onion. He’ll make you cry if you cut him. AND he has layers. Many layers. Here are 13 little known facts that you may not be aware of about everyone’s favorite Apple CEO (not including Gil, of course).

NSFW: Finally, an honest “laptop hunters” commercial

Well, I think I know why they let Jake keep the PC he found this time. I pretty much wouldn’t touch ANYTHING he touched… (WARNING: EXTREMELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK unless you have a really cool job).
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked images show new iPhone to be available in “plaid”, “green with pink flowers”
Macenstein has received the above inventory screenshot from a Hungarian T-Mobile store showing what appears to be the full line of new iPhone colors and capacities. As you can see, the 32GB model will have some exciting new options, as apparently both “plaid” and “green with pink flowers” are options. There does not appear to be any mention of the rumored 4GB “iPhone nano” in T-Mobile’s records, at least according to this shot. You may remember Apple briefly toyed with flowery patterns on the original iMac, releasing a short lived “Flower Power” model. The addition of “fluffy bunnies”, however, seems to be an entirely new direction.
WorldMate’s promo video points out the crap problem on the iTunes store
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Humor, iPhone, video
WorldMate, a new application for managing air travel designed for busy, globe-trotting professionals, takes a couple well deserved pop-shots at the “crap” apps flooding the iTunes store in this very well-made promo piece. As someone who has run into far too many of these “crap app-loving” guys, I feel these apps both cheapen us iPhone users as a whole, and help keep some people from taking the iPhone seriously. (That being said, I am working on my own crap app… )
I’d actually love to see more advertising of this quality for specific apps. Given how flooded the store is with things like virtual lighters and fake beer-drinking apps, spending a little dough on outside marketing like this is probably one of the few options left to developers looking to get their app noticed.
Personally, I am so unprofessional and sedentary that I would likely never have need of WorldMate, but if I ever did leave Macenstein Labs to take a much needed vacation from sitting all day, I would definitely check them out based on the amount of effort they put into this video alone (although I’d probably check out their free version of WorldMate before I plunked down $20 for their WorldMate Gold).
