“So, congrats me about getting the Apple 5”

OK, maybe those Samsung GS3 fanboys really DO have a point.  Read More

Apple’s answer to those GS3 fanboys

I know there isn’t a huge physical difference in screen size between the iPhone 4S and 5 (half an inch), but after only a day with the iPhone 5, I now find the screen of the 4S feels tiny. So in a way I can appreciate the stance of all those Samsung GS3 fanboys, as when they hold an iPhone it probably feels like their hand grew 3 sizes that day. So, perhaps Apple should have... Read More

First iPhone 5 Broken on Camera

Well, that didn’t take long. Supplies of the iPhone 5 are tight (just ask me and my 21 day wait from AT&T), yet that hasn’t stopped Cygnett from breaking one to showcase their new iPhone 5 cases. Yeah, the video is a bit of a yawner – they didn’t do anything too crazy like run it over with a mini Cooper driven by two strippers or anything, but what it DOES... Read More

DEALS! Apple iPhone 4S – 16GB – Only 99¢! “Some minor Damage”

There are so many things to love about this eBay listing for what appears to be a microwaved iPhone 4S. First, when listing they used the full default eBay iPhone template, which gives a complete rundown of the phone’s features, including “HD video recording, Facetime, iCloud, Retina display, clearly remarkable” Product Information The Apple iPhone 4S is rich... Read More

Samsung is scraping the bottom of the features barrel

The main thing to take away from Samsung’s latest “Apple users and mindless, line-waiting sheep” commercial is that Samsung is running out of meaningful features to showcase to help set itself apart (above?) from the iPhone. Now, first of all, I doubt if anyone standing in an iPhone launch line would excitedly say “The connector’s all digital, what... Read More

Looks like Apple didn’t have to release an iPhone 5 at all

Maybe if Apple had spent less time mapping people’s ears for their new Earpods and more time doing marketing research, they would have realized they really didn’t need to update the iPhone 4S at all, they just needed to rename it. via Jimmy Kimmel Live  Read More

Apple’s iPhone 5 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 iPhone 5 announcement. 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 the day’s... Read More

Survey: 39% of men would be willing to lose an inch of penis size for the iPhone 5

Now this is my kind of survey! (Apologies in advance for my gratuitous discussion of penises later on in this article). According to the results of a survey of 2,011 American males, ages 18-30, conducted by CouponCodes4u.com, the desire to own the not-yet-announced iPhone 5 is so high that many men are willing to go through extreme lengths to get one, including SHORTENING the length... 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
