Teens Nearly Banned For Life From Apple Store Due To Epic Failure

PALO ALTO, CA - According to the Palo Alto Daily News, four teens were nearly banned for life from all Apple store locations on planet earth after downloading a third-party racing car game onto an iPhone displayed at Apple's University Avenue store last weekend. It's when they failed to make a stellar getaway that the proper shit storm swung into full effect.

Daniel Fukuba,17 (left) and Eric Vicenti, 16 were two of the four teens hunted down by an Apple store manager only moments into their triumphant escape montage. "We're halfway down the block when the manager comes running out and tells us to 'stop right there,'" Fukuba said. "We thought that it was completely harmless," Vicenti said.       Source - Palo Alto Daily News

Broadcom To Supply GPS Chip For 3G iPhone?

For many cult of iPhone followers GPS has been a critical missing piece on their beloved smart phone. Broadcom, a chipmaker, is the company rumored to be supplying the global positioning system in the new 3G iPhone anticipated to make it's triumphant appearance next month. Broadcom shares jumped more than 6% to $28.85 on news of Apple's iPhone. Neither Apple nor Broadcom are commenting on an official link-up.

According to a GigaOM post, all signs point to yes on GPS as a feature in the new 3G iPhone that's sure to drive demand, especially so when paired with the already popular Google Maps. Broadcom may be poised to emerge a big winner from the success of the new 3G iPhone. Gizmodo is casting doubt on GigaOM's sources because it's not their sources. Duh! More rumors and battling over sources to conclude in an epic thumb wrestling event.

More Fat Suit Evidence As 5th Avenue Apple Store Closes To Film 3G iPhone Commercial

NEW YORK, NY - Shortly after the Apple Store on 5th Avenue in Manhattan closed at 3:00 p.m. today for the overnight filming of a new 3G iPhone commercial, a witness snapped a photo of another Apple staff member wearing a fat suit. The photographer was immediately shut down by security. You'll notice in the photo above that the man on the far left has fixed his gaze upon the obvious top-heavy Apple chubster talking to bystanders. The fat suits are allegedly being used to smuggle new 3G iPhones into Apple store locations as we first reported a few days ago. [link]

Apple's 5th Avenue store has only been entirely closed twice in its brief history: the iPhone launch and the Leopard launch according to a report by MacRumors. Apple's retail page indicates that the store will reopen on Friday, May 30 at 9:00 a.m. The iPhone Savior has retrieved several more emails claiming fat suit sightings outside of Apple's flagship store. Photo confirmation was not included. We've also uncovered that the 3G iPhone line starting to form outside on May 22nd, has mysteriously disappeared. Interesting.

Son Of Macenstein Arrested In Late Night Punching Spree

LOS ANGELES, CA - The Son of Macenstein, wealthy heir to the Macenstein fortune and wildly popular Mac blog was arrested in Los Angeles last night for allegedly launching into a late night punching spree. The brawl took place one block from Parc Hollywood, an A-list nightspot frequented by hot, young celebrities like Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johanssen and Paris Hilton. One witness managed to capture the unexpected fisting on his discontinued, original 4GB iPhone relic.

White 3G iPhone Jumps Outta The Woodwork

Dutch site iPhoneclub is now supporting evidence of significant alterations to the iPhone's outer appearance including the distinct glow of a familiar white plastic. The photos also reveal hidden sensors at the top to be used for video calling. iPhone Savior reported back on December 20th, 2007 that Cult of iPhone worshipers were starting to get anxious to have the glow of ol' whitey back. It appears based on these leaked photos that El Jobso has answered the cry of his loyal followers and decided to pony up with a 3G iPhone in glorious White. Offering a proper nod to the old school days of the iPod or maybe it's simply lacking a planned color infusion designed to stump even the likes of Scooby Doo. (Rut-Roo Raggy!)

Sydney Apple Store Sends Followers Cryptic 'Drop In Soon' Message

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Apple cult propaganda went into full effect on the corner of King & George Street in Sydney, Australia with a banner heralding the arrival of the first official Apple Store in the southern hemisphere. Committed Apple followers or "boofheads" as they're affectionately called in Australia are hoping that the huge banner signals a store opening may only be a month away as speculation is running wild. 

The Apple banner features an iPod Nano wave that boofheads have interpreted as the possibility of free Nano giveaways for the grand opening. There's also speculation that the cryptic "drop in" message is Apple's way of hinting at the store design being multi-levels downward, similar to their 5th Avenue Flagship location in Manhattan. Rumors suggest that the 3G iPhone will be displayed on a floor down under within one of the store's lower lairs. More to follow on this dinki-di mystery for Aussies.

iPhone Mules Smuggle Boatloads of 3G iPhones To Apple Stores In Fat Suits

The iPhone Savior received more than a dozen anonymous tips that Apple staffers have been smuggling large quantities of 3G iPhones into Apple stores through keenly devised fat suits. The so called iPhone mules have been allegedly spotted at several key locations including the Apple flagship store on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and also in Pasadena, California.

One staffer we approached refused to comment on our findings then randomly asked; "What has two thumbs and smuggles iPhone 2? This guy!", said Randy Dern after flashing us two big thumbs-up.

Shortly after Fortune.com reported that two of Apple’s long-time manufacturing partners for desktop computers have imported 188 ocean containers of a product type never before declared on its shipping manifests, the iPhone 2 email tips started coming in. One tipster claimed that lines forming outside the Manhattan Apple store we're being used by several iPhone mules posing as loyal, gravitationally challenged cult of iPhone customers in order to deliver their loads. More to come on these sorted rumors.

iPhone Hero Snaps Amazing Photo of Hitchcock-Like Seagull Attack On Toddler

Seattle, WA - Here Jimmy, give the nice seagull a french fry. Holy shit man! Take cover! Retreat!

It's was a perfect Seattle afternoon on the waterfront when a harmless feeding of the gulls transformed into a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". Run! If not for the quick thinking of one heroic iPhone user this frightening random seagull attack may have been lost. That would have been the real horror story.

It appears that mister Seagull decided to go straight for the tender boy bait and ignore the routine french fry. Another seagull is spotted above preparing to launch a second attack. Typical Apple Jesus Phone haters in Micro-tard land. The final photo in this series must have been lost when the iPhone user lunged to rescue the boy from a hideous death by pecking. Similar to the one Dad had to endure from his baby momma. 

Warning: Seattle totally blows!

Gizmodo Scoops 3G iPhone 2 Launch News, Making Other Tech Sites Weep

Hundreds of tech sites would give their third nipple to get the inside tip on the release date of Apple's 3G iPhone 2. The Hulkish scoop mongers at Gizmodo managed to conjure up a bulletproof story that only El Jobso himself could possibly debunk. While they have become ninja masters at debunking ginormous rumors, Gizmodo has also perfected the bulletproof post, citing that their source is, "someone very, very close to the 3G iPhone launch." Dammit! Who could possibly blow holes through that claim?
