Steve Jobs’ Yacht Is Free to Sail After Being Repossessed

Last week we reported that Steve Jobs’ yacht, Venus, had been repossessed in the Netherlands at the behest of designer Philippe Starck, who claimed that the Jobs family owed him three million Euros. Classy move, Starck. Well, the yacht is free to sail again. https://gizmodo.com/steve-jobs-yacht-repossessed-by-you-guessed-it-philippe-5970485 Le Monde reports that the Jobs and Starck camps have…

Steve Jobs’ Yacht Repossessed By—You Guessed It—Philippe Starck

The designer of Steve Jobs’ yacht has never been the master of tact. Just a few months ago, Philippe Starck played up his friendship with Jobs and tastelessly teased the yacht as “revolutionary” Apple product. Gross. His latest cool guy move: having the monster repossessed over a payment dispute. https://gizmodo.com/world-famous-designer-philippe-starck-says-hes-working-5901694 Reuters reports that the $100…

That Steve Jobs Action Figure Just Got Even Creepier

Holy mother of Moof. Remember the ultra-realistic Steve Jobs action figure? I thought it couldn’t get creepier until its creators decided to make it pose on the arm of the full size Madame Tussauds’ Steve Jobs—which you can see here completely finished. https://gizmodo.com/the-latest-steve-jobs-action-figure-is-a-horrifying-mut-5957770 It also has a name now, according to what Legend Toys told…

The Good Steve Jobs Movie Will Only Have Three Scenes

A news shocker for anyone excited about the other Steve Jobs movie—which should be good, because it’s written by Oscar-winning dynamo Aaron Sorkin, doesn’t star Ashton Kutcher, and isn’t called iJobs. The movie will only have three scenes. Three. https://gizmodo.com/the-shitty-steve-jobs-movie-unveils-its-bad-guy-5916584 According to The Daily Beast, Sorkin says his upcoming Jobs biopic—which doesn’t have an actor…

Watch Out Fitbit, This Badass New Activity Tracker Is Out to Eat Your Lunch

You might not have ever heard of Misfit Wearables but you’ll want to pay attention starting now that its first gadget has made its debut. Founded by Agamatrix founders Sonny Vu and Sridhar Iyengar, the Redwood City-based company also credits former sugar water peddler and Apple CEO John Sculley as a co-founder. And its backed…

Is the iPad Mini the Beginning of Apple’s Decline?

First, I have been an Apple shareholder for about 10 years. I haven’t sold my stock, yet — but for the first time I’m thinking about it. I’m worried that I’ll decide to sell after it’s too late. Anyway—here’s the thing. I bought an iPad Mini. It was too cheap not to give in to…

Pixar Names Its HQ After Steve Jobs

Pixar has renamed part of its headquarters—in fact, the studio’s main building—after Steve Jobs. It’s easy to forget that Jobs had a non-Apple side, but in fact he invested heavily in Pixar before it became profitable, and this serves as a permanent reminder. [Pixar News via 9to5mac]

The Latest Steve Jobs Action Figure Is a Horrifying Mutant

The Japanese Jobs fanboys at Legend Toys absolutely nailed the face of the late Apple tycoon on its newest action figure. It’s a phenomenal job. But, quick question—why are his hands the size of skateboards? Really! The stubble, the glasses, the nose—it’s like the toymakers scanned his face before he was sent to the Foxconn…

This Is Steve Jobs’ Yacht

Venus, the incredible luxury yacht Steve Jobs had been designing up until his death a little over a year ago, seems to have made its first apperance as a finished product in the city of Aalsmeer in the Netherlands. Unsurprisingly, its design is breathtaking. Reportedly designed in a joint effort between Jobs himself and Philippe…

One year ago Steve Jobs passed away. Here’s to a crazy one, a misfit, a troublemaker.

Apple Remembers Steve Jobs With Moving Video Tribute

It’s a year today since former Apple CEO Steve Jobs passed. Fittingly, Apple has posted a moving video tribute on the front page of its website, which remembers his enthusiasm and determination. Kicking off with the now-famous Wayne Gretzky quote—”I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been”—the video…

This Lost Speech from 1983 Will Make You Think That Steve Jobs Was from the Future

We have an explanation on how Apple became so successful: Steve Jobs might’ve been from the future. That’s not true, of course, but to hear him nail so many predictions about modern technology back in 1983 it begins to feel like the only explanation. Just listen to the speech Steve Jobs gave to the International…

This Crazy Steve Jobs Sculpture Is Supposedly Made with a Touch of Jobs’ Stolen Trash

You may remember the Steve Jobs action figures that were introduced and then canceled earlier this year. Now there’s a new Steve Jobs figure on the horizon, one that supposedly contains a weird and creepy ingredient: trash stolen from Jobs himself. https://gizmodo.com/the-steve-jobs-action-figure-is-canceled-5876722 The sculpture, made by XVALA, is due to be shown at a gallery…

Madame Tussauds Is Making a Steve Jobs Wax Figure That Is Hauntingly Realistic

Madame Tussauds is making a Steve Jobs wax figure to mark the first anniversary of his death.

The wax figure will be displayed at Madam Tussauds Hong Kong and…

Here’s the One Thing I Want to See at Apple’s iPhone 5 Event (Spoiler: A Steve Jobs Hologram)

Too bad Digital Domain, the company who made the Tupac hologram, is going bankrupt because seeing a Steve Jobs hologram at tomorrow’s iPhone 5 event would be the best One More Thing… ever. Seriously, just watch this humorous video to see what a rapping Steve Jobs hologram would look like. http://gawker.com/5942365/company-behind-tupac-reagan-holograms-now-bankrupt As an aside, I…

Apple’s Hideous Leather Software Is Based on Steve Jobs’ Private Jet

We hate the way a lot of Apple design looks, these days: virtual leather, felt, wood, and glass. It’s like a sleazy game room in your Cool Uncle’s basement. Who is making these eye-screwing decisions? Fast Company says it was Jobs. https://gizmodo.com/ugh-god-why-is-apple-making-everything-look-like-an-u-5849940 Skeumorphism—the design technique of making a virtual thing look like a real thing…

Please Do Not Print Large Jobs

I like when people see an office rule and they find creative ways to 1) break it and 2) make fun of it. I don’t know who made this but well played, sir/lady. Well played. [Thanks Karl!]
