Obviously this is a joke and there’s a huge difference in usability between the two, but there’s a funny element of truth to this … Read More
The kernel panic. You know the feeling when you get one, it’s that awful combination of dread and mortification knowing that you probably just lost whatever it is that you’re working on, and that your Mac might be in bad shape. You instantly start racking your brain with potential troubleshooting efforts to try and resolve … Read More
If you have an extra Bondi Blue, Flower Power, or any of the other candied iMac G3’s laying around, hey, why not turn it into a coffee table? Maybe you could put your iMac typewriter on it? Yup this is real, and yes of course you can buy one for £49.00 (not sure if they … Read More
If the 80’s block iPhone case and Cathode Terminal weren’t reaching far enough back in time for you, maybe this will.
You’ve probably noticed we’re fans of some retro tech stuff around here, whether it’s flip clock screensavers, retro Cathode terminals, or the ridiculous 80’s block iPhone case, there’s just something fun about bringing back the old to interact with the new. Apparently popular iOS Developer Neven Morgan of The Incident fame agrees. So enthralled with … Read More
Sure you could get Internet Explorer on your Mac through WineBottler or in Virtualbox on the Mac too, but that takes effort. What if you want a retro-throwback experience to the days of Internet Explorer 6 and all it’s goofy tendencies to muck itself up?
To show off just how light the MacBook Air is, an Apple Store came up with this awesome window display, yes that is a MacBook Air hanging from a balloon. OK so the balloon itself isn’t the only thing holding up the MBA, it’s also held in place by some wires, but who cares? It … Read More
This is starting to look like flashback week, first with the flickering retro Terminal app Cathode and now this absolutely ridiculous iPhone case that is made to resemble the giant block cellphones from the 80’s. Is this thing hilarious or what? It’s not just photoshop either, here it is next to an Android:
I wouldn’t recommend this, but someone was crazy enough to apply a Zagg shield to their MacBook Air, and then use it as a cutting board to chop some peppers and a tomato with a large knife. I guess this is supposed to demonstrate how effective the Zagg shields are at protecting the MacBook Air, … Read More

Do you need a mirror but you’re nowhere near one? Hey no problem, bust out your Mac and open up Photo Booth, use the computers camera!
This snazzing looking retro Apple logo is made entirely out of a fruit salad, recreating the rainbow Apple logo from the companies early days. How cool is this? It’s probably the healthiest logo you’ve ever seen, and now I want to eat some fruit and find an Mac Classic to tinker around with, don’t you?
Is this the corniest geek joke ever? Thanks Terry!
Would you believe this isn’t a real iPhone 4? This freakishly accurate counterfeit is called the SoPhone, and the enclosure is so precise that it fits into all existing iPhone 4 cases. Not only does the outside look identical to the iPhone 4, it’s apparently running a customized version of Android that is themed to … Read More
