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…

snes4iphone v1.0.0 Tested (Verdict: Playable)

ZodTTD’s snes4iphone v1.0.0 was recently released and it works surprisingly well. After a few games of Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World it’s obvious this emulator has come a long way. While in-game audio is still missing, background music plays fine. Gameplay is fairly smooth with frameskip enabled, and the emulator supports landscape and portrait…

Paul Knight uses this weird machine to change the appearance of iPhones and iPods into spy plane black titanium nitride-coated machines, which are quite more beautiful than the originals.

The iPhone Under a Microscope

The iPhone is a beautiful machine with amazingly clean lines and smooth surfaces. But how does an iPhone that’s suffered the normal daily wear and tear hold up…under a $30,000 optical microscope? Not so bad, actually. And its frosted metal back casing looks just wicked. These shots are pretty and all, but for the true…

Arik Hesseldahl of Business Week claims that a source tells him the official iPhone SDK will be delayed by one to three weeks, much like the recent delay in the Apple TV 2.0 upgrade (2 weeks).

iStick: The iPod touch Tube Concept

The iStick concept is the size of lipstick tube. But it has four touchscreens for four times the Coverflow.

Japanese Engineers: MacBook Air Insides Are “Full of Waste”

“Can we say that the MacBook Air has a perfect, sophisticated external appearance, but its insides are full of waste?” And by waste, the Japanese engineers doing Nikkei’s teardown really mean screws. Thirty of them. (We thought it was marvelous.) Apparently, Apple is as anal about its manufacturing specs as it is about aesthetics. A…

Lenovo X300 Benchmarked Versus MacBook Air

Although Mossberg’s Lenovo X300 vs. MacBook Air fight compared things like weight, portability, inputs and functionality, it didn’t compare the thing that power users care about—performance—in absolute numbers. Notebook Review did. In their CPU benchmark, the Air finished the test in 68 seconds while the X300 took an almost double the time at 118 seconds.…

Apple and Starbucks Sued Over “Song of the Day” Gift Cards

While James and Marguerite Driessen’s patent covers a sort of vaguely broad concept—gift cards for pre-defined items that you buy at a B&M store but use online—I kind of feel for them, given that Apple apparently dropped iTunes custom cards in the US (while continuing to offer them in the UK) to get around licensing…
