Bill and Melinda Gates Ban iPods, iPhones In The Home

normal_billgates_ipod_quote_quotes

Oh quit crying, you two. You have enough money to wipe your asses with $100 bills for the rest of your natural born life. In a recent interview with Vogue, Melinda Gates stated that she keeps iPhones and iPods out of the hands of her children. The direct quote sez:

“…there are very few things that are on the banned list in our household. but ipods and iphones are two things we don’t get for our kids.”

So is this a veiled attempt at keeping Apple products out of the house or just the way the Gates family approaches parenting? I’m going to say it’s a little bit of column A, a little of column B. I’m sure the Bill has an iMac lying around his insanely large house somewhere. No iPhone, though? Someone call child services.

Gear Skins For Label Whores

Music Skins (a.k.a. GelaSkins) collaborated with streetwear label Lemar and Dauley to create a line of covers for laptops, iPods, iPhones, and plain old cellphones. All of the skins are emblazoned with Lemar and Dauley’s rainbow skyline logo. I dig the skyline drawing on the skins, but I don’t see why anyone besides a major label whore would want two other dudes’ names on their electronics.

These Lemar and Dauley skins are made with specialty 3M vinyl that’s less than 2mm thick with residue-free adhesive that allows for worry-free removal when you want a new look for your gear. Music Skins also has downloadable wallpapers so you can match the screen of your device to it’s skin. After the jump, check out more photos the Lemar and Dauley line for Music Skins.
