iPhone 3G: Will It Blend?

Once again, I’m so glad I don’t own an iPhone. As if to commemorate the great iPhone 2.0 activation snafu, Blendtec blends an iPhone 3G.
Will it blend? Hell, will it activate?

Enough iPhone 3G Hype!

Before anything else, let’s make one thing clear: I do not dislike the iPhone 3G. Unlike its predecessor, it delivers many of the standard features of today’s smartphones, for a surprisingly low price.
Unlike its predecessor, it actually supports third-party apps. Admittedly, it will only support Steve-approved apps, but sacrificing flexibility for stability is simply the […]

Mac Fanboys Should Listen to Ghandi

Steve Jobs Introduces the Apple “i”

Steve Jobs is a genius at both hardware design and public speaking. The guy could package and sell absolutely anything, even if it could do absolutely nothing. In fact, that’s exactly what he does in this parody clip as he introduces Apple’s latest wonder, the “i”.

MacBook Air Confuses Airport Security

Last week, I was playing Final Fantasy VI on my Nokia N95 when a building guard told me I shouldn’t take pictures. I had to point out that the lens cap was closed, and that his building looked nothing like Figaro Castle.
Of course, that’s nothing compared to what technologist Michael Nygard went through at the […]
