Apple i Keynote Parody is Spot On

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]

Why Do You Think Apple is Good or Evil?

We ran this photoshop contest of Steve Jobs, asking for Good and Evil versions of the man. For some reason, we got an overwhelming result of Evil Steve Jobs entries. Actually, they're almost all evil Steve Jobs photoshops. Is that because it's more fun to dress him up as Osama than it is to make him Jesus Christ? Or is it because people actually think Apple is evil?

The Steve Jobs Photoshop Gallery of Good, Evil, and Awkwardness

Yet again, the results of a Gizmodo Photoshop contest prove just how warped and twisted the minds of Giz readers are. The most recent challenge: use your skills to depict Steve Jobs as either good or evil. The results ranged from inspired to unsettling to confusing to borderline-offensive, which is just what any good Photoshop contest should end up with. Now, my friends, onward to the Gallery of Champions! Let's see what your fellow readers created. I apologize in advance to Steve and to all of your brains for what you're about to see.

Psystar Sells Mac Clone, Becomes Son of Daystar

Once upon a time, back when most Apple fanboys were still playing with Mr. Potato, a guy called Gil Amelio had the idea of licensing the Mac to clone manufacturers like Motorola and DayStar—a great move that further kicked the company into the ground, making it bleed like a God of War monster and sending its sorry market share into the pits of Hell. And then, the Second Coming happened: Amelio brought Steve Jobs—perhaps his only good move at Cupertino—and after kicking Gil out, His Steveness axed the clones, for it was a really silly idea. Today, the zombies are back: a company called Psystar has announced the $399.99 OpenMac, a Mac clone that allegedly runs Leopard without modification: More »

Photoshop Contest: Is Steve Jobs Good or Evil?

Oh, Steve Jobs. What to make of you? On the one hand, you've created some of the most beloved technology of the modern era. On the other hand, you're a tyrant, a miser, and you rule over your empire with an iron fist and a cold heart. So which is it? Is the Steve a golden god who can do no wrong, or is he a devil in disguise? That's for you to decide. That's right, my friends: it's time for another Gizmodo Photoshop Contest! Read on to find out how to enter and have your work live forever in our Gallery of Champions. More »

Does Apple Have the Balls to Sue Its Korean Namesake?

Poor the Apple. No sooner has the Cupertino conquistador de computadoras taken steps to protect its trademark against GreeNYC than another eponymous company pops up. This one's in Korea and it sells toilets and bidets which do all those flash things so beloved of Asian poopers. Did I really just write that? Oh dear, yes I did. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Jobs' riposte. Will he bring out something for the bathroom that includes shower function, heat seat, self cleaning and user memory? If I were him, I'd just send in the lawyers. [AppleZen via i4u]

Apple Attacks NYC Over GreeNYC Logo, Steve Jobzilla to Destroy Central Park Next

Apple has filed a formal opposition to NYC's GreeNYC campaign over its new logo, saying that the city's looped apple infringes its own trademark. While Steve's mob says the eco-logo will "seriously injure the reputation with which [Apple] has established for its goods and services." New York's response? "The city believes that Apple's claims have no merit and that no consumer is likely to be confused." More »

Apple WWDC08 Sessions Open

If you got nothing better to do June 9 through 13, Steve Jobs is hosting his "landmark" three-pronged developer conference in San Francisco, with choices for Mac, IT and iPhone concentrations. Have a look at the list of session topics, including iPhone Multi-Touch Gestures, Ruby on Rails Apps for Safari, even CoreBanana and Xcode for Chimps (wait, maybe not those last two). If you do plan on attending, start saving now for those expensive-ass tickets. [WWDC Sessions]

John Mayer Gets Apple Reply after Bug Report Jibba-Jabba

It looks like writing "John Mayer here" really works to get Apple's attention when you report a problem. According to Steve Jobs' fab guitarist, they got back to him directly only four days after he sent the bug report ramblings:

Steve Jobs Apple Collage Looks Impressive

We're not sure how many hours it took to assemble this collage of Steve Jobs made solely out of Apple products, but we're pretty sure the process was done on a Mac. Even though Apple hasn't really had a diverse lineup of "stuff" to use, it's enough to make this picture look 95% like Jobs. The other 5%, according to a few Giz editors, makes him look either a bit like Dick Cheney or a bit like Hitler. Tough to say. Click for big pic.

Steve Jobs' Music Poster Boy Reports iTunes Problem, Wonders If Apple Spies Him

John Mayer is the guitarist who sometimes closes Apple events with a small gig (he comes right after you turn off the Quicktime broadcast to check the Apple Store), and Steve Jobs' favorite music poster boy this side of Bob Dylan. Last week, Mayer contacted Apple about a problem with iTunes using the bug reporting tool which appears after a crash. Having sent my own share of bug reports, from neutral to humorous to sarcastic to plain mad-I'm-going-to-kill-you-all-with-a-spoon, I find his diatribe rather charming and candid:

Wired on Apple: "Pray" to "Evil Genius" in 11 Years

Wired's April cover has Apple on it, and longtime readers and Macheads will notice the similarities between this and the June 1997 issue's art. But while the earlier cover read "Pray" this one reads "Evil/Genius", an homage to the decisions The Steve has made in the face of conventional business school wisdom, and the personality driving it all. The time gap between the covers does a good job of putting Apple's ascension into perspective; this did not happen overnight. More »

Near-Supersonic Gulfstream 650 Unveiled, Steve Jobs Gets Excited

The new Gulfstream 650 was unveiled yesterday at their Savannah factory. Yes Steve Jobs, yes Al Gore, yes Kevin Rose, this one can take you anywhere in the world with its 7,000 nautical miles range at a top speed of Mach 0.925 (704mph,) almost the speed of sound at a 41,000-feet altitude. You and your 99,600-pound cargo of, hmm, whatever you dirty rich people take around on trips: all your mountain bikes, your Bonos, and your carbon-footprint air fresheners or something. But don't put your current Gulfstreams on Craiglist yet, because there's a catch.

Update: with details on the new vision system and the stunning cockpit

Jon Stewart, Bored With Oscars, Pulls Out iPhone

Never before has the futility of watching films on such a tiny screen been so well encapsulated as when Jon Stewart enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia on the Oscar stage last night. If you missed it, we won't spoil the joke for you. But even after Stewart's cultural nod/low blow to the iPhone, Jobs got the last laugh as he was thanked later during Pixar's Best Animated Film acceptance speech.

PC fanboys, you just really can't win.

Real Fake Steve Jobs Mock Turtleneck, Made from Cotton, Not Harvested Chest Hair of Sacked Apple Engineers

There are three important differences between this turtleneck and those his Steveness actually wears: First, it is slightly cheaper (we suspect). Second, it has the words "Hello my name is Fake Steve Jobs" printed in large, friendly letters on a fake name tag on its front. More »

iPod classic Firmware Update May Damage Headphones

Some iPod classic owners who installed the recently released 1.1 firmware are reporting that their iPods are sending electrical pulses through the headphone jack and docking port, even when the units are turned off. The pulses, estimated to be 500mv worth of DC, may be enough to damage equipment that is plugged in. More »

Obama #1 In Gates and Jobs Households, Donation-Wise

Bill William Gates has only made one presidential-candidate campaign donation this season, and it was to Barack Obama. Meanwhile, although Steve Jobs' wife Laurene has given nice sums to each of the three leading Democratic candidates, Barack appears to be the apple of her eye, if you calculate that in terms of dollars. Steve himself is not in the registry. What's more, neither billionaire tech household donated a (traceable) penny to any of the Republicans currently running for office. Update: We have been informed that the William Gates referred to in the database is actually Bill's father. No other William Gates has donated any money to any candidate, and Melinda Gates is listed only as donating to the Microsoft PAC. As such, I have also changed the image from Bill 'n' Barack 'n' Steve to what looks like Barack Obama's Welcome Back Kotter audition photo, from his campaign site. More »
