Justin “I’m a Mac” Long now dating Kirsten Dunst
That’s right. According to the New York Daily News, Apple pitchman Long and “Celebrity Mac chick” Dunst were spotted “…making out hard-core while waiting in line for margaritas. They were holding hands and were all over each other.” Long has become quite the cocksman of late. Just a month ago Long and Drew Barrymore “were all over each... Read More
If only more countries would block iTunes…
Earlier this week it was reported by FOX News that China had blocked access Apple’s iTunes music store after a Pro-Tibet album hit the store, and I for one applaud the move. Taking a quick look at the top iTunes music this week, and it quickly becomes apparent that some serious blocking needs to be done. Above: Yeah, I’m not buying that it was that Tibet album that...

Why is Apple forcing me to Jailbreak my iPhone?
If there’s one thing Apple should have learned by now, it’s that it’s the little things that matter most – the small touches and attention to detail that make someone fall in love with (or out of love with) a device. And while you certainly can’t second guess what everyone on the planet will deem an important feature, there are some that should be obvious. To... Read More
iPhone factory workers send message of peace to our lands via the iPhone’s camera
Macrumors forum member markm49uk got a bit of a surprise when he browsed his newly purchased iPhone’s camera roll. That’s right, a series of shots of happy iPhone workers, presumably taken by other happy iPhone workers who do not value their jobs, came preloaded on markm49uk’s iPhone. We had seen some shots of the iPhone factory appear on iPhones in the past,... Read More
Apple’s R&D department has been on fire recently. Literally.
According to Macworld, a late night fire ripped through Apple’s Cupertino R&D department last night, causing the 100 overworked employees still on the job to be evacuated while the fire department came and sprayed foam all over the prototype iTablets, Time Machines and Photon Guns. Hopefully this fire won’t delay Apple’s ability to put 32 GB of RAM into... Read More
Even Apple thieves are elitist
When stealing Apple gear, one can’t simply throw just any old cinder block through the Apple Store’s plate glass window. That type of plebeian criminal activity just simply isn’t done when pilfering such high-end gear. These days if you don’t want to be laughed out of the criminal underworld, you need to make sure you use a $60,000 automobile (or better)... Read More
Lucasfilm pulls PhoneSaber from the iTunes store
Knowing that George Lucas is perhaps the only person more controlling of his product licensing than Apple’s Steve Jobs, I suppose this news should not exactly come as a shock to anyone, but according to TheMacBox (creators of the wildly popular (and free) PhoneSaber lightsaber emulator), THQ Wireless (who owns the rights for Star Wars apps on mobile devices) has asked that...

Nullriver giveth tethering; Apple taketh away [UPDATED]
Last night for all of about 18 minutes, iPhone users were able to buy Nullriver’s NetShare, a $9.99 app that allowed users to share their iPhone’s internet connection with their computer. Apple removed the download link from the Apple store by the time most of us (myself included) heard about it last night, although they left NetShare’s description page up as if... Read More

Big Brother Alert: Government airport searches of iPods for pirated media in the works
Well, I didn’t think it was possible, but government officials may have found a way to slow down the airport screening process even further. According to NEWS.com.au, legislation is actively being looked at in Australia and other countries (including the US) that would allow for officials to inspect laptops and iPods at airport customs and search for pirated music and movies. There... Read More
