This is a parody of the Old Spice commercials that are all the rage on your fancy moving-picture box these days (posted one after the jump for those of you who haven’t seen them), except it’s for Apple products. Only problem is, it didn’t make me laugh like the originals. Those things are funny as shit! Shit on fire that you’re stomping out with your best dress socks on. I’M TALKING ROFLQUALITY. But not really. Hit the jump for the original Old Spice ad if you haven’t seen it.
Paris Hilton was spotted leaving Melrose Mac in Hollywood with several new Apples as she made her way back to her car. Not sure who these were for, but you gotta love the fact that the heiress is one…
It was only a matter of time: a case for Apple’s iPad that looks like a giant sanitary napkin . I know, I’m puking in my shoes even as I type. BURN HOT WINGS BURN. Introducing Hip Handmaids’ exclusive iMaxi–the only Apple iPad case made with protective wings! With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps keep your iPad clean and dry. Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry! The cases cost $30 and come in all white, or with an even more disturbing “bloody” red interior (pic after the jump). WTF?! I’m all for prop-comedy but even Gallagher has the draw the line somewhere…. Did anybody else just flashback to the video of the girl crushing the watermelon ? Hit the jump to see the bloodier version.
Because I love watching all the fanboys pop Apple boners and then yelling, “QUICK — EVERBODY LOOK!” while pointing and laughing, this is allegedly an iPhone 4G prototype sitting atop an iPad prototype . As you can see, it looks like a blurry iPhone. Possibly with a black bezel instead of a chrome one. But what baffles me is why they decided to print ‘Eng’ on part of the screen. You’re losing it, Apple. Engadget via Photo of Apple’s next-generation iPhone in the wild - sources [appleinsider]
This Wi-Fi detecting car decal tips tailgaters off to available wireless connections . It was made by cutting the illuminated panel out of one of these shirts and sticking it to the car’s window. Which you’ve got to admit: for such a hardcore Apple fanboy (see license plate) is a pretty impressive feat of do-it-yourselfery. Provided, of course, he didn’t stab himself with the scissors. You forgot to take the shirt off first, didn’t you? *Nyuk nyuk nyuk!* Hit the jump for a closeup.
I’ve been trying to avoid iPad related material because, damnit, I just don’t care. What do I look like, a tech blogger? Please. Anyway, I am posting this video of Pee-Wee Herman with an iPad because, well, I didn’t know he still made videos. Just don’t expect too much in the way of comedic relief, because there isn’t any. Of course, if you read Geekologie regularly, you should be used to it. Wait, did I just — gotdamnit. Pee-wee Gets An iPad! [funnyordie] Thanks to Reverend Faux and Joe Soap, who both know today’s secret word.
Finally, we can all sleep at night having seen Apple’s new tablet , the iPad. That’s right, iPad (after taking a hint from the old Mad TV sketch ). The first-gen tablet is 0.5 inches thin, 1.5 lbs, and has a 9.7″ multi-touch screen. It will be powered by Apple’s own 1GHz A4 chip and available in 16, 32 and 64GB configurations. The battery will run video for 10 HOURS STRAIGHT ON A CHARGE and standby for nearly a month. It won’t make calls and doesn’t have a camera or multitasking capabilities. Pricing is as follows: WiFi only model: 16GB $499, 32GB $599, 64GB $699. WiFi AND 3G model: 16GB $629, 32GB $729, 64GB $829. 3G is AT&T exclusive but no contract required, prepay $15/month for up to 256MB data, $30 unlimited. Basically it’s a giant iPod touch. WiFi models begin shipping in 60 days and the 3G’s in 90 days. Apple should send me a free one so I can play with it. This concludes my boring journalistic duties for the day. Please stay tuned for more nonsensical rambling. Official Site Thanks to John, Van, Joseph, wes g, alex, King Rooster, Fabulous Lisa, rob, Ktar, Nick, another John and Julian for reminding me something was happening today. Boozefest?
So Apple’s gonna announce their tablet tomorrow. That’s exciting. And these are allegedly a couple leaked pictures of the thing a whole day early. Boners all around! And, because I love you, I’ll post real pictures tomorrow if you’re like following this sort of thing. But, if you like following women with a video camera trying to film up their skirts, sorry, can’t help ya . Hit the jump for a closer shot of what may or may not be an empty picture frame.
