The internet is always full of surprises, but this is quite unique, it’s an iPad shirt. Literally. It’s a shirt with a clear front pocket that you can slide the iPad into and wear it on your chest.

New and old technology rarely work well together. In this case, not just the old, but the real old, the Apple II is pre-Macintosh hardware at it’s finest. If the urge to geek around with old Apple hardware ever strikes your fancy, you can use an app called ADT Pro that lets you transfer disk … Read More

What’s your machines record uptime? Uptime is the amount of days since the last reboot or boot up, and this can vary widely per user and per computer. I have an old MacBook that I use as a server of sorts, and as a third screen when working from home. I realized I hadn’t rebooted … Read More

Worried about the security of your MacBook or MacBook Pro? Reduce the chances of theft by slapping a cheap PC sticker over the Apple logo! This is pretty funny but there’s actually an element of truth to the joke, since Apple logos are easy indicators of high priced goods. I knew someone who plastered stickers … Read More

Don’t you hate it when your printer isn’t working? We all do, but if you’re in that situation here’s probably exactly what you should NOT do if your printer is toast. No, do not drag the monitor over to a copy machine, lay it flat on there (while keeping all the video cords connected to … Read More

Here’s your daily bad idea: shooting an iPad with a shotgun. Leave it to the internet for someone to shoot an iPad and record a video of the carnage. Interesting video in that ‘Myth Busters’ kind of way, but man, what a waste.

How’d you like to run Newton OS on your iPad, iPhone, or Mac? You can with an emulator, and it actually runs on your iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac OS X too. This is all done through an open source project called Open Einstein which now has a working iOS port. It’s not exactly an … Read More

This has to be the most repulsive gadget accessory I’ve ever seen. Straight out of Japan, it’s an iPhone charger made to resemble an umbilical cord that twitches, pulsates, and squeals as it charges your iPhone. I don’t know if it’s for sale (would anyone want to buy it?), but it’s the creation of a … Read More

This has to be the worst imaginable iPad car mount solution I have ever seen, which is exactly why it’s so funny. Mounting an iPad to your arm, seriously, can you come up with a worse idea?

You know those Motorola Droid commercials where a robotic voice says “Droid”, or more accurately Drooooid? Oddly enough, your Mac may have been the originator of this sound, and without any additional software you have the ability to play and save the sound yourself right in OS X.

Feeling nostalgic for a horrible crash-prone user experience and ugly GUI? How about putting the Windows 95 boot screen as your iPad background? It won’t make your iPad run Windows 95 (thankfully), but it sure looks dreadful enough.

This right here is a tiny horse, alongside a customer, in an Apple Store. Yes, I did a double-take too.

The Internet Explorer 9 beta is out now for testing, and a reader sent in this picture which is sure to disappoint Mac users all over: Internet Explorer 9 is not available to download for Mac, its for Windows Vista and 7 only. OK so sarcasm aside, I hear it’s actually pretty decent (for IE … Read More

People are doing all sorts of cool things with iPads, but this must be one of the more interesting projects I’ve seen. Using videos playing on an iPad and stop-frame photography, Dentsu London moved the device around in dark environments to create 3-dimensional words and animations. Instead of trying to explain it any further, you … Read More

Are you ready for a Steve Jobs joke? Of course you are! Ok, so this joke is a little corny, but who cares, because sometimes corny is good for a laugh, right?! OK here we go: Why does Steve Jobs always wear turtlenecks? Because suits have too many buttons. Get it? Oooooh boy. Corny, but … Read More

12 years of Steve Jobs… always wearing the quintessential black long sleeved shirt, jeans, and some sneakers. I love how laid back this guy is, can you think of any other CEO of a comparably popular company dressing so casually? He’s definitely got a distinct wardrobe, even when he visits Apple Store openings. By the … Read More

You know you’re an Apple addict when you start measuring time by the iPhone release cycles. I found this comic pretty funny, it looks like something out of a newspaper but I am unsure of it’s original source. Thanks to Daniel for sending this in!
