How many orange slices does it take to charge an iPhone? About 2380

Nice to know if you’re ever in Florida with a drained iPhone and a box of metal skewers and a couple hundred feet of wire you will (eventually) be able to make a call. I’m not sure why Mophie or some other iPhone battery pack maker didn’t think to use this as a commercial for their product, but it’s pretty cool.

World’s Fastest IPhone Texter does 56 word per minute – iPhone melts

Wow. This is either Bishop from the movie Aliens, or the world’s best secretary. That’s right, using the iTextSpeed app, this cyborg was able to pump out 56 words a minute on the iPhone’s virtual keyboard. And we’re talking ACTUAL, grown up words, no TTY and LOLs and such.

iPhone not the best choice of instrument for popular people

Behold composer Yann Tiersen (perhaps most famously known as the composer of the French film “Amélie”‘s soundtrack) as he attempts to recreate his masterpiece on a series of 6 iPhones. As you can see, while Yann eventually gets into his groove, he apparently is not used to friends interrupting him by calling his REAL piano. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader... Read More
