I have to borrow a heading from sister site FabSugar to bring you a very special tribute to the man behind the Macs, the iPod idol, the eminence of Apple: Steve Jobs. From his iPhone SDK press conference yesterday, the man held court in a style we've come to expect — Jobs' consistency asserts itself in his flair for quiet drama, his dynamic intros and outros, and of course: His mock turtleneck.The mock turtleneck is Steve's unwavering companion: Black, tucked-in, and the sleeves pushed up by a man who needs to get down to business either onstage or behind his newest gadget baby. It's basic, like the design of Apple products — black, like the chicness of Apple products — and utilitarian, like Apple products (how many hickies must that sly fox be covering up with the mock neck? Which is, incidentally, the one thing I haven't seen an Apple product do, but it is only 2008). But you girlfriends of geeks and geeks themselves must surely be asking yourselves, whither does one find a man's mock turtleneck in this day and age, when the, uh, "style" itself is more Microsoft than Apple? Where can I find knitwear of power, knitwear of substance that can guide me to the fate such as the King of Cupertino? Don't waste your clicks, my dears, I've done the handiwork for you.
Can you smell that? Not only is Spring in the air, but I'm getting a slight whiff of Super Smash Bros Brawl! Release day is finally drawing near, and although it's not the only game that I'm looking forward to, it's definitely at the top of my "must buy" list this month. Bonus for me, my local Gamestop is hosting an in-store Brawl showdown (with some pretty sweet prizes), to help count down the minutes until midnight when we can take our own copies home! But there are other games out there for me to get excited about as well. I'm also looking forward to some bugs, some space men and a few ghosts to fill my gaming quota. Check out a few more of my choice selections – while I warm up my Brawling thumbs – when you read more
When the MacBook Air was first announced, designers went on a frenzy to whip up some beautiful creations to protect this new ultra-thin laptop. After only a couple of days there were already four MacBook Air sleeves available for purchase, and less than two months later, there are a many more to choose from. Take a look at some fun and stylish sleeves in the following slideshow!
Amazon is heading up an online shopping territory not terribly well-traveled — the booze train. Yes, that's right, starting pretty soon, Amazon will start selling wine from its behemoth of a shopping site. No, no Amazon-labeled vintages (I'd love to taste the Kindle varietal) — Amazon will basically be directing its "wine traffic" to Wine.com.
The business of selling booze online is pretty murked up and confusing — requirements of a Wine.com order includes things like requiring signatures that can later be verified online and identification checks upon delivery. It would be nice to send a gift to someone of a hard-to-find wine (don't forget, you canbuy them a drink online), but for my personal general wine consumption, I prefer to use the heel-toe express from the corner store.
But would you be interested in this? Just remember, don't drink and blog.
Geeksugar may be all about the robots, but there is a point where we draw the line. This book from Urban Outfitters, How To Build a Robot Army, promises to teach you how to assemble your very own department of defense for um, the Apocalypse, I guess. Or sharks. Sharks are scary too.
Seriously though, this could be a fun gift for robot-lovers or anyone who needs to know the difference between domestic robots, humanoid robots, robot pets, and the sexiest of bot, the Fembot (I ask you, where are our ClooneyBots?!) and how to mobilize them in the face of the enemy. Too dorky for words, or are you putting this in your shopping basket?
This concept designed "Mooon" phone by Sunman Kwon certainly isn't one of those wacky "out-there" tech designs. With touchscreen, a digital camera, and built-in bluetooth headset, I can totally imagine this phone someday being the real deal. Although it may look like a PSP gaming device, the Mooon, which was featured on Yanko Design, is said to be described by the designer as a "innovative communication device." To get a closer look at it, check out all the gallery pics below!
Cuban Cyber Rebels Undermine Government Restrictions All you need to be a modern Cuban rebel is a digital camera, a memory stick, and an underground internet connection. Today, the New York Times highlighted "cyber rebels," Cubans that are rendering state control of the internet ineffective.
