The Internet is a funny place. When a company as powerful as Google has a premature announcement of its latest web browser due to a leaked comic it made describing the process that Google engineers undergo during production, you know internet-dwellers are going to take advantage.

Users at YayHooray went to town on some of these strips, bringing hilarity you’d never find in any Microsoft ad.  They’ve come up with some funny spoofs on the Google Chrome comic and all it took was a small edit of a speech bubble.

This should make you smile just a little. This won’t.

As far as humiliating shots on Google Street View go, this is surprisingly not the first taste of public humiliation that the Google Maps service has graced upon us. First, we saw the results of a car crashing into a pole, and now, we all get to point and laugh at this kid who happened to fall off his bike as the photos were being shot for the street view.

Is the kid hurt? Probably not anything physically permanent, but the humiliation of his fall might stay with him for a much longer period of time. We’d like to call this, “Google Street View FAIL!”, an ode to those who have been caught in the act of foolishness. — Andrew Dobrow

Hold on to your socks, buckaroos. We might have stumbled across a gold mine with this one. So this is what the 3G iPhone looks like. Meet the iPhone Mega, a product which will no doubt soon have people waiting in lines which can only be measured in city blocks.

So in reality, this clever take on the iPhone seems to be a super jumbo display turned vertically to resemble the display of the iPhone. So huge, the man needs a keyboard just to type on it. Yeah, touch typing could get a little messy on a phone this huge. — Andrew Dobrow

If you have more money then you know what to do with (and that money just happens to be Yen) then you might look a lot like the man pictured above, using the money in anyway you see fit. For those of us with more financial burden, we have to resort to more extreme measures in order to look filthy rich.

For 6,800 yen you can get your own sack of 10,000 Yen note napkins, which can be used to wipe both your brow, and maybe even a dab of Grey Poupon mustard off your greedy little lips. — Andrew Dobrow

A recently revealed patent shows an idea for a very, hmm, how to say this politely… a very “interesting” and “unique” device. The patent describes a product titled “User-Operated Amusement Apparatus for Kicking the User’s Buttocks.” Notice the word, “amusement”.

You operate the device by pushing a row apparatus that resembles the operation of a coal mining cart, while a windmill style set of feet repeatedly kicks your ass. What the fuck? — Andrew Dobrow

After seeing the cigarette phone and the detachable retro phone, this Porsche cellphone could be even more sensational. First off it’s shaped like a Porsche (kind of), flip it over and it’s a cellphone! There’s a Porsche logo up there and we have no idea if the random Chinese company had any sense of copyrights in mind, but who cares? Porsche won’t make phones anyway. Look closely at the windshield and you’ll find the camera. Specs were literally unknown, so we phoned up the shop ourselves.

The Porsche911 (ironically this is indeed the index for the phone) runs on Dualband GSM, houses a 262K color screen and a 2 megapixels camera. It supports microSD up to 1GB, plays MP3 and MP4. You can pick up the phone in downtown Hong Kong for $164 now. –Sam Chan

This is perhaps the first trashed N95 we’ve seen. Some rich dude proudly claimed that he trashed his uber expensive Nokia N95 after breaking up with his girlfriend, other precipitating factors include:

1. the GPS failed to locate him

2. the GPRS got disconnected all the time

3. he’s too angry with Nokia for over-pricing the phone

4. he’s RICH, b****!

HA! If we had to wait this long for a search result we’d be at the library a hell of a lot longer. In these modern times of 0.024 second search results, something like this shows us how far we’ve really come. Just remember to print your query clearly. Ha ha. Google’s hilarious. — Andrew Dobrow
