OK… how about THIS one…
[UPDATE: OK we have confirmed this one as fake, but we’re leaving it up for discussion’s sake. The other one with the weird vent hat thing still has potential.] Another day, another Mac mini “leak”. I’m not sure why we’re getting all these, but I find them interesting, so here you go. Click to embiggen. I’d love to believe this one is... Read More

Behold iStik: The magnetic iPod nano bikini holder
Just as I still get nervous when my MacBook goes through the airport scanners, somehow the idea of putting powerful magnets next to my iPod still freaks me out, no matter how safe an electrical engineer assures me it is.
