iPhone Engrish of the day: TimerMusicStop

“Hey Doc, I remember that you had a couple articles awhile back that highlighted some bad App Store Engrish. Thought this may qualify…my brother and I still have no idea what it does. Something with time? :)”
TimerMusicStop’s description:
iPod you want to stop in time but want to listen to music for?
Interest in a case like! !
Usage is simple. Time to stop the roll set time, please switch to ON.
Then the music stops They added time.
You’re on the right track James. At first I thought it was simply a “put the iPod’s music to sleep” timer app, but after re-reading the description two dozen times, it is clear that TimerMusicStop apparently can stop time itself by “adding time”. Otherwise Apple would not have approved the app, as the iPhone already has a built-in timer feature which can turn off the iPod’s music, and we all know Apple will not approve an app (Google Voice) that duplicates existing functionality.

I know that Pixar news isn’t exactly Apple news, but it’s my damn site and I thought this was funny.

The iPod from the 50’s still beats today’s iPod
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Humor, iPod
Faithful Macenstein reader Alfie P sent in this “What if the iPod came out in the 50’s?” parody ad, and I must say in many ways, it beats today’s model.
First, it’s sexy as hell. Let’s just get that out of the way right up front. But take a look at some of the other killer features it boasts that today’s does not:
1 - Built in speaker loud enough to listen to on the beach
2 - User-replaceable battery
3 - Comfortable earphones
Who cares that it can only hold 20 minutes of music? Back then I think there were only 3 songs anyway, none of which was more than 2 minutes.

This thing would out sell the Bible

Forget taping an iPod nano to your shoe for upskirt videos, something tells me this app would be bigger than Godzilla in Japan. (And at my house).

Mac vs PC - Snuff Box style
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Humor, Microsoft Bashing, video
I’m somewhat of a fan of Berry & Fulcher’s Snuff Box, at least what I’ve seen (their “She has a Boyfriend” video still makes me laugh), so I was very pleased to see they did a take on the whole “Mac vs. PC’s debate.
