We discussed how Lee Clow, the man behind Apple’s most popular advertisements, is stepping down from his position as chief creative officer of TBWA/Media Arts Lab. Turns out that Lee’s not really leaving, he’s just getting annoyed at the blogosphere. https://gizmodo.com/apple-ad-god-lee-clows-work-a-look-back-5393855 According to this note he supposedly wrote and sent to his staff, Lee’s figuring…

Regen Reverb Is 3-Feet of Solar-Powered iPod Dock

If you thought Regen’s Renu solar-powered iPod dock was unbelievable, get a load of its big brother, the Reverb. It’s 3-feet tall and capable of cranking out 60 watts of power off of the sun’s rays. https://gizmodo.com/renu-modular-solar-panel-for-ipod-docks-and-desk-lamps-5390005 My guess is that you will need all 3-feet of that space to generate enough electricity to play…

I thought I was ahead of things with my Chocolate Edition Apple Tablet, but Jerry Brito and his iPhone 3G C(ake) beat everything.

Apparently, Apple Wants All iPod Shuffle Users to Look Like Idiots

Oh Apple patents, you harbingers of coolness. Sometimes, however, you announce potential pain and doom. This iPod-cum-wireless headset is one of them.

Apple and Palm: The iTunes Syncing Fight Is Officially Dumb

How Palm Lost (Like Apple in the ’80s)

The Droid, and Android 2.0 as a whole, isn’t going to kill the iPhone. That’s ridiculous. Teamed with the iPhone, though, it just straight up murdered Palm—the same way that Microsoft brought Apple to its knees decades ago. Reviews aren’t even hitting yet, but the early consensus is clear: Android 2.0 is the first version…
