Further proof that I will post ANY video that has a British man saying “aluminium”

HeadStand headphone holder

HE SAYS IT TWICE!!! How could I resist? Odds are I will never own a pair of headphones fine enough to display, or a desk clean enough to display things on, or have an office where real live grown-ups I want to impress with my nice headphones on my clean desk would ever see them, but if I did, I might consider getting the HeadStand™ from Just Mobile. And do you know what the... Read More

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

Cygnett UrbanShield 05

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

Take THAT, iPhone5 critics! (I might have to start watching SNL again…) YouTube version: Via 9to5  Read More

Probably not an official Apple store…

Apple_store_China

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. It is right before the border crossing into Macau. I got a few chargers there for super cheap. Edit: Zhuhai is between Hong Kong and Macau  Read More

Review: Korg microKEY USB Keyboard Controller

Korg microKey

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... 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
