Meizu’s M8 iPhone Clone To Hit US Shores by Christmas Eve

We recently mentioned that Meizu’s M8 iPhone clonephone was really coming to the shops in China at the end of the year, but according to the head of the company, things’ll be happening a bit sooner than that. https://gizmodo.com/meizu-m8-iphone-clone-hitting-china-india-in-december-5056133 J.Wong himself has suggested that it’ll be on sale in China no later than the 30th…

A Mega Violent Comedy, From The Office’s Producer

A new British sitcom has the weirdest storyline ever — and the most intriguing pedigree. Clone is the brainchild of Adam Chase, an executive producer of American sitcom Friends, and he’s enlisted Ash Attila, a producer of the British Office, to make it. The show’s main character will be a wimpish clone soldier created by…

Tiny Chinese N95 Clone Now Right Sized For Babies, Brian Lam

Besides the iPhone or maybe even the RAZR, Nokia’s N95 has to be the most cloned cellphone in recent Chinese history (not counting the ridiculous copiers in the Tang dynasty). In this case, it’s called the MM95 and it’s about the length of a guy’s finger and the width of two. Exwang.cn (heh heh, wang)…

Psystar Open Computer Reviewed (Verdict: Fast, But Can’t Be Recommended)

Besides some benchmarks, CNET’s review of the Psystar Open Computer doesn’t really tell us anything new that we didn’t already know before. It’s definitely fast for the price, especially compared with the tiny Mac Mini. However, it’s missing stuff like iLife, Bluetooth, an IR receiver, DVD burning and the ability to update your computer. If…

Exclusive Photos: Psystar’s Case, Shipping Contents

Click to viewReader Patrick sent us these photos of his Psystar machine, which was captured in video earlier today. Here’s what these photos tell us. One, Psystar’s claim of not being able to reinstall Leopard by yourself is totally true. The package only came with a retail version of Leopard—still shrink-wrapped no less—which doesn’t let…

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…

Move Over Meizu: China’s Clone “Gods” do Nokia N95 Too

It’s not just the iPhone that’s being cloned: now this black 8GB Nokia N95 clone has joined the party. With dual slider keypads, a two megapixel camera with flash, another small camera, media player, Bluetooth and microSD card slot, it’s actually not all that bad. It doesn’t have the 8GB, of course. But you’ve got…

Super-Heroes Need Love More Than The Rest Of Us

You may be sick of the flowers and Hallmark cards of Valentine’s Day already, but spare a thought for those whose careers make romance an all-but-impossible dream.

iPod Nano With a 2MP Camera…Well, Sort Of

Leave it to Chinese manufacturer BTL International to improve ripoff the iPod Nano design by throwing in a 2-megapixel camera. Outside of that, the device, dubbed the M2406, supports AVI videos, and MP3, WMA, WMV and WAV audio files. It also features a 2.4-inch TFT screen, a built-in speaker and six EQ settings.

You Can’t Gestapo The Hitler Clones

With new Indiana Jones and Hellboy movies on the horizon, we’re reminded of heroes who fought supernatural Nazis from time to time. Heck, both Hellboy and Indiana Jones came face-to-moustache with Hitler, and Indy even got his autograph. But not all superheroes are so lucky. Some don’t get to battle the Big Bad himself —…

BenQ Mobile Internet Device Running Linux

BenQ was hitting the floors of IDF showing off a new UMPC (although they call it a ‘mobile internet device’). While it may look like just a poor attempt to capture iPhone/iPod touch hype, it was surprisingly running Linux. Could we be moving towards a non-Microsoft based ultra-mobile future? [JKKMobile]

LG Says Apple Copied the Prada Phone. Also, Apple’s Mother is Obese
