It looks like one of the things I adore about Apple products has come back to bite me in the arse. Simplicity of design. The iPhone is the epitome of simplicity. Turn it off and you’ve got an onyx slab with a chrome rim. This simplicity of design has made it possible for every Tom, Dick and Harry (with Photoshop, "The Gimp" or MS Paint) to be able to do a “mock-up” of an Apple product with little to no effort. With that in mind I have done a “Mac-Up” of the iSwitch.

Boston is at it again. An MIT student wearing a home made LED T-Shirt (NOT pictured above. thats just my take) has been arrested at gunpoint and faces "bomb hoax" charges. It is however unfair to be exclusively angry with the city of Boston. In Google News countless headlines proclaim things like "Woman arrested at Logan Airport with fake bomb strapped to chest." Here is a link to a much more accurate headline "MIT Sophomore Arrested at Logan For Wearing LED Device."

If I haven't already mentioned it. Digg.com is site I use to find many of the precious nuggets of whale vomit the Internet has to offer.

I am amazed at how faulty this ad is and just had to run through the list of what needs to be fixed. “Change the bear to a shark.” This line is mumbled quickly and I doubt most are catching what it is on the first listen. “These are my divorce papers.” Beside the line being swallowed. The joke is that the papers were not handed to Tina, but she has grabbed them out of habit and comments on how funny they are, but the poor cut in which she ...

“A long time ago... You ran out of clean shirts. Let your geek flag fly with these awesome nerdy tees.” That’s the headline? Really? “A long time ago... You ran out of clean shirts?” No wonder this is their last issue. According to the right-hand corner of the October issue of STUFF Magazine they are calling it quits... But not before FEATURING my At-At Boo Boo (or as its legally called Boo Boo Walker) smack dab in the middle of their STAR WEARS piece. Sweet action! (Sweet Action, now that was a mag. Where the hell did they go?) The Star Wars based Boo Boo Walker t-shirt is available in the form of tees, and hoodies at Go Ape Shirts.
