Minecraft timelapse: Macbook pro RETINA
Here’s a quick way to verify whether or not you are a geek – do you find this video to be incredibly impressive? The correct answer is YES. And how much would you love a wool trackpad? Sooo comfy… Although it looks like it could be an issue if you leave your MacBook out in the rain. Read More
Guess that Apple Product
Think Invisible, makers of the free ThinkInvisible iPhone game, have put together a nice assortment of Apple-themed puzzles. Inspired by psychologist Gaetano Kanizsa’s “Kanizsa triangle” illusion, the effect is achieved by only showing the viewer the most important details of an image, forcing your brain to uncover and complete the rest. There’s more fun... Read More
Somehow I would have expected a “We’ll Be Back Soon” Post-it…
This is allegedly a shot taken inside a Cupertino Apple campus restroom of an out-of-order toilet. You’ve got to love the snarky, design-centric taped-on overlay, presumably left by a designer who was less than impressed in the choice of the 1980’s Stencil Font, even on a temporary maintenance sign. I’m filing this under “definitely true” because it... Read More
“Up”/”Birds” double feature poster
Usually when one hears the term “Mashup”, they think of a horrible pop song shoe-horning itself into a classic, well known song to generate quick sales for a talentless new “artist”. Or is that just me? Anyway, MY favorite mashups are the ones some VISUAL artists do for fictional combinations from the film, tv, and comic worlds. Case in point, this awesome... Read More
There are good ideas, there are GREAT ideas, and then there is this
You know how sometimes you’re typing out an email on the iPad and you wish the process was slower and louder? Well, good news! Industrial designer Austin Yang has created the iTypewriter. Unlike other high tech iPad keyboards that are portable and rely on the “fad” of Bluetooth, Yang’s iTypewriter kicks it super old-school, relying on touch-capacitive hammers... Read More
Reported video of assembled iPhone 5 leaves many question (marks)
Macotakara has released a video showing what appears to be a “shell” of the iPhone 5, giving us our first good look at what the device will probably look like. I say “appears” only because after every new shot in the video, Macotakara puts a “?”, as if they are not fully willing to commit to this being the real deal. The design certainly looks... Read More
C’MON guys! WE NEED To support this – The iPhone case that’s also a stun gun!!
Well, this project pretty much makes every lame Kickstarter iPad stand or lame iPhone case look… well, LAME. Behold the YellowJacket, the only iPhone case/battery that not only can add 20 hours of iPhone use to your iPhone, but can also incapacitate that would-be rapist/home invader. That’s right! THIS CASE IS A FRICKIN’ STUN GUN! Sound crazy? Sure. But watch... Read More
5th Ave, Minecraft style
This Minecraft Apple Store looks eerily deserted… I guess Zombie Pig-Men are PC users? The work of Reddit user Plutus28 Read More
Bruce Banner waits in line for the new iPad [spoiler alert: Hulk Smash]
“Bruce Banner tries to purchase the newest iPad.” Graham Annable is one our generation’s most wonderful, and bizarre minds. His wonderful, bug-eyed illustrations are the impetus behind the charmingly creepy Puzzle Agentfranchise for iOS (our review) and if you haven’t ever visited his Flickr, you’re missing out. This illustration in particular stood out for... Read More
Jonathan Ive’s biggest design challenge? Himself.
Reddit user pdmcmahon found this great clip from MacWorld 1999 (yes, not 1985) of a young Jonathan Ive sporting hair and what can only be described as an attempt at a mustache. The recently knighted Ive is largely considered to be a design genius, and as you can see from these shots, his “Jason Statham-esque” reinvention is clearly his best redesign to date. Read More
