Steve Jobs buys Marvel : Adamantium MacBook imminent
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Slow News Day, Steve Jobs
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
Looks like we’ll be seeing unibody adamantium MacBook in a matter months, as Disney (aka, Steve Jobs) has just bought Marvel Comics (home of the X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man…. all sort of big, beefy men, basically) for $4 Billion.
If I had $4 Billion I probably would have done the same thing, if for no other reason than to stop the upcoming Thor movie from being made. But given that Apple has more or less run out of sexy cat names for its OS versions, odds are the opportunities for cross-promotional synergy is what caught Steve’s eye.
I’d buy it.

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).

Cute and cuddly Steve Jobs doll – Just like the real thing!
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Steve Jobs, That's Weird..., WTF
All of you guys who collect creepy looking dolls and stuffed toys that come to life at night and murder people take note! There’s a new “Chucky” in town – none other than Steve Jobs! That’s right, Podbricks (makers of Apple themed Legos) has taken a softer turn and released a run of 500 Steve Jobs plush dolls.
Warning: this doll WILL kill you while you sleep.
Speaking of sleep, this is exactly how I picture Steve Jobs sleeping – eyes open and motionless. I’m not sure why they went with Jobs instead of Woz, as the Dancing With the Stars star is certainly the more snuggly of the two Steves, but maybe they didn’t want to commit to ordering that much felt before seeing how these sold.

Did Jobs fake a health illness to avoid announcing the new Shuffle?
Filed under: Cynicism, Opinion, Steve Jobs, design, iPod shuffle
Wow. Today’s announcement of the new iPod shuffle was really something, wasn’t it? Just push a button 10 times, and your iPod will speak a list of playlists. Press 11 times, hold once, then press again, and you can turn it off. It sounds a little too much like this parody of the Mactini by Peter Serafinowicz.
I remember more than once I had a report to give in school that I knew was going to be lame, and trying to convince my parents I was too sick to go to school that day. It never worked, of course, and I’m not saying Steve is faking an illness to get out of announcing a lackluster series of products - but boy, I sure would have.
Looking back at the last couple months’ worth of announcements, the timing of Steve Jobs’ leave of absence sure is looking like a blessing in disguise for Steve (aside from the obvious non-blessing of apparently being quite sick, of course). First we had Read more
