Well, I suppose technically this counts…
“Wife’s iPad. I just wanted to play angry birds.” That is the title of this image snapped from an unsuspecting (but hopefully happy) husband and now expectant father to be.

Original iPhone 5 drawing hits eBay
And by “original”, I don’t mean it was in any way involved in the production of the rumored-to-be-forthcoming iPhone5 – just that it is a one of a kind original drawing by a person of little to no artistic talent detailing what they think the iPhone 5 might look like.

Conan posts an awesome video only 100 people understood
As a testament to how unpopular the new Final Cut Pro X is with professional editors, Conan O’Brien dedicated a full 2 minutes of his show to ripping the new piece of software, despite the fact that 99.999% of his audience had probably never even heard of Final Cut Pro.
