Plug-'n'-Play USB Virus Makes MacBooks Fall to Pieces

Behold, a video of the Newton Virus. Back in 2005, Troika, the British-based art collective that was behind the Heathrow Terminal 5 sculpture that some of you recently described as a "disco turd," created a virus for Macs, called Newton. It came on a little USB key that looked like a cross between a malevolent Apple and Pac Man and was aimed at, well, people like you or I, who spend far too much time fiddling around on their computers. The video, made this year, is part of the Design and the Elastic Mind show currently running at MoMA in NY. [Troika and Dezeen]

Macworld Rumor: Mac Tablet Not Coming This Year, First Macworld Spyshots Appear

Apple Insider has sources who say the Newton-esque tablets Apple are working on will not be announced at Macworld 2008. The unnamed tipsters say there are challenges in the development stages similar to problems which arose with the iPhone last year. And as proof that the Macworld madness is nearing, Apple Insider also received a gallery of spyshots, including a Macworld display banner that reads "2008...There's something in the air." What ever could it be?

iPhone Mod Thinks Differently

With iPhones selling like hot cakes that have web browsing, call making and photo taking capabilities, it is hard to make your device really sit out from the crowd. Well, Mark over at Geek Technique has given his iPhone a rather striking retro black paint job, topped off with the old technicolor Apple logo. We think the Newton/iPhone love child looks rather dashing; don't believe us? Check out the gallery below: More »

Newton Museum Winds Up on eBay

Are you a Newton fanatic who just can't let go? Want to get your hands on every Newton model ever made? Now's your chance, because unfortunately the (virtual) Newton Museum has closed. John Venzon has decided to sell off his massive PDA collection on eBay. You won't just scoop up Newtons and eMates (what an awesome failure), either—you'll grab all kinds of accessories like cases, cards, and cables, oh my! Even software is included so you can kick it wirelessly with that huge-ass Newton in hand. The auction ends Monday, December 26, 2005 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Would you really need all these Newtons? Not really, but they're just cool to have. More »
