The MacBook for Pirates

apple-crossbones

Soon to be quarantined after the nasty scabies epidemic, this MacBook for Pirates features a special Apple and crossbones logo design courtesy of Etsy user LastFuse (name thief that they be), selling their decal for only $2.50.

If the parrot, hat and eye patch didn’t tip them off, this decal sure will.

Steve Jobs Has Put on A Little Weight

steve-jobs-bowling-art

El Jobso was spotted outside of  1 Infinite Loop recently and it looks like he’s gained some of those pre-surgery curves back. Am I the only one who feels the strong compulsion to furiously roll large balls at the Apple CEO?

I’m glad to see he’s got his appetite back though. His waif-ish figure was starting to scare me there for a while.

LEGO Minifig Wants To Take A Chomp Out Of Your Apple MacBook

minifig-macbook

I sort of feel bad. The LEGO minifig trying to eat my MacBook is clearly starving. Why else would you attempt to eat a perfectly good electronic? On the other hand, I’d much prefer my MacBook not have any further bite marks, barring the original bite mark of the Apple logo.

But no, I’ve had enough of this. My MacBook never did anything to warrant biting. Just go away minifig. You’re adorable and all, but enough’s enough. You can grab your own minifig MacBook decal for $14.

Apple App Store Crosses the 100,000 Application Threshold

app-store

It’s barely been a year since the App Store opened its metaphorical doors and yet developers have not ceased to continue their plot to create an app for every damn problem or non-problem you might or might not be facing. 100,000 apps later and here we are. We have apps to help you look up Asian girls’ skirts, apps to help you get jailbait porn and of course about half of these apps are some sort of variation of a farting sound machine.

While the app creation process has certainly slowed down from its fervent beginnings, hundreds of apps are still released every single day. The App Store has become a pretty incredible result of what innovation can achieve if done right.

There is surely a large percentage of you who have been holding out on the iPhone not out of spite, but because you just don’t have the extra cash laying around. In these times of financial strife, sacrifice is essential. If you still want to at least LOOK like you can afford an iPhone, iPhoneDummy.net is selling non-working display models for only $20.

So while you won’t be surfing the App Store anytime soon, you can still appear to be part of the crowd. And isn’t that what really matters?

iPod Shuffle Ranked as World’s Worst MP3 Player

ipodshufflenew2_w500

Apple has some of the best and apparently the worst of gadgets around. The 2009 iPod Shuffle model was rated a dismal 51 out of 100 points, the worst among 9 similarly specced MP3 players.

Navigation of the device was apparently one of many key problems, the voice controls ranked as one of the most common complaints. T3 points out the terrible quality of the stock headphones and how Apple limits you to using only their models. This year’s Shuffle is clearly not Apple’s best, though it continues to rake in the profit, so somebody’s gotta be loving it.

Apple Unveils New iMac, MacBooks and Magic Mouse Device

magicmouse

If you’ve come across Apple’s homepage today you might notice several new gadgets strewn across the site, including the maxi pad-inspired Magic Mouse, a brand new multi-touch mouse device which will now ship with all iMacs.

Apple also unveiled a new line of iMacs with massive 21.5 or 27 in. displays and a wireless keyboard and new MacBooks with a brand-new unibody look, only 1.08 inches thick, a built-in battery and an expanded trackpad. I’m actually pretty surprised all of this new gadgetry was released without so much as a minor scheduled event. Check out Apple.com for all the details.

Have you been down with Apple since they were one with the rainbow?

Pure sex. Sadly sold out for now. Let’s hope for a triumphant return. I will own one.

PSP iPhone Case

From the same Etsy designer who brought us the Xbox 360 iPhone case.

The “screen panel” flips open to reveal a clam shell iPhone case meticulously designed to resemble Sony’s portable PSP console. Now if only we could download PSN content onto the iPhone.
