The Most Realistic Unboxing of All Time


Product unboxings are generally sterile affairs, boiled down to Hollywoodesque over-simplicity, ignoring blister packs and steel-impervious plastic for magically opened, perfectly photographed gadgets. Well, here's a real unboxing made for the rest of us. And to the average male Giz reader, the clip evokes the same vicarious pain of watching a guy get kicked in the stones. [via TUAW]

The NES Controller Apple Remote Hack

An amazing coffee table, a mouse... now an Apple remote? Is there nothing the classic NES controller can't be modded into? Well, probably many things.

I'm thinking Apple found out that most of them stay forgotten at the bottom of the box. Is this an outrage? Or does it make sense? [Apple Store] Thanks Lowmax!
