Infographic: Ideas Apple bought, Borrowed, and Stole
Every once in awhile it’s a good idea to take a step back from our somewhat sheltered, Apple fanboy worlds and splash ourselves in the face with a bitterly cold dose of what the non-Apple universe is thinking. Why? Well, because it pisses us off, that’s why! And that’s ALWAYS fun. In light of the recent Apple/Samsung lawsuits where Apple has been vigorously defending... Read More
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
Apple’s iPad mini “Special Event”: The Good, the Bad, and the Meh
As with all big Apple events, I once again find people turning to me for my opinion on the announcements from Apple’s iPad mini “Special Event”. Honestly I can’t blame them, as my opinion is often the only correct one when it comes to such things. I seem to have the uncanny ability to cut through the hype with laser beam-like precision, and somehow categorize... Read More

Review: Cygnett UrbanShield for iPhone 5 – The iPhone’s little black dress
It’s been a running joke in the tech community that Apple seems to always strive to make each subsequent generation of its devices thinner and lighter, and this has perhaps never been more true than with the iPhone 5. Despite embiggening the screen, Apple somehow managed to shave both thickness and weight from the device, and it really is noticeable, especially when you are... Read More

Probably not an official Apple store…
Assuming this store is actually selling iPhone 5’s, I’m not sure I get their marketing ploy here. Via Reddit: This shop is in Zhuhai, China in the Gongbei underground shopping complex.

Review: Korg microKEY USB Keyboard Controller
For most musicians, micro keyboards are a necessary evil, meant to fill in when either portability or space makes it impractical to use your full-sized keyboard. Korg’s microKEY 37-Key Midi Controller ($79.99 at Amazon) is actually one of the LEAST EVIL microKeyboards we’ve seen (they are free to use that quote in their marketing material), and while I won’t say...

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
