If you've ever been sidetracked by a documentary about modern Romanian chimney sweeps or come down with Facebook/Twitter Infinite Loop Syndrome, Achewood's got you pegged, my friend. [Achewood via bookofjoe]

What Would've Happened if Hewlett Packard Built R2-D2

Rosa Golijan — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:00:00 EST

Youch. So that's what would happen if HP built astromech droids. Can't say I blame Leia, those error messages make me want to break something, too. Though maybe a lightsaber would've looked more dignified than the baseball bat. [Abstruse Goose]

Darth Droid's Terror Is Insignificant Against The Power Of The Fanboy

Rosa Golijan — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:20:00 EST

As tiresome as the Droid vs iPhone arguments are lately, I'm happy to have finally found something to sum up my feelings on the issue. Doesn't hurt that it has a Star Wars reference either.

But yes, I'm so shallow that I don't want a Droid because I find it unattractive looking. [Joy of Tech]

Manga Jobs and Wozniak Dream Up Apple

Jesus Diaz — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:00:00 EDT

Lisa Katayama at Boing Boing has found a manga gem from the 80s: the story of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, from the moment Woz started to get interested in gadgets until the Apple II was created and launched. Into space apparently. Truth is that I don't have a clue of Japanese, so that's probably why I find it funny, thinking about what the hell they are saying, and why on Earth there's an space octopus involved in this whole thing—I just like to imagine that's related to Jobs' experiences with LSD.

Apple i Keynote Parody is Spot On

Haroon Malik — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:45:00 EDT

College Humor is running a parody of Steve in Keynote mode, we know it isn't the first or won't be the last, but it has some of the Steve's actions, crowd reactions and the overall atmosphere pretty much down to perfection. On top of all that, it does a good job at making us laugh—just look at the damn product description! The sketch even includes a commercial demonstration, and the whole clip is quality through and through. Hit the link for the video and then let us know if you'd be first in line to purchase the i. We definitely would—hey, it's chromy, glassy and shiny. [College Humor]

Jason Chen — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 17:11:07 EDT

Laptop skins like the ones from GelaSkins are pretty neat, but these skins from photographer Tomas Kauneckas actually tell a story of a fugitive lady on the run, being captured, and eventually incarcerated in a series of 14 photographs. It's up to you which one of the 14 you'd want as your skin—they're all pretty awesome—or you can even get all 14 and swap them in and out when the mood hits. Check out all 14 in the gallery.
