Those Ugly iPhone Christmas Sweaters Are Back

 

It's finally that time of year again when I get to dress up my iPhone in an ugly Christmas Sweater — because I can... that's why.

This awfully wonderful idea is the kind of pure genius that will create nothing but Holiday envy this season — and maybe even steal a hunk of Christmas joy from Whoville.

The Green Knitted beauty pictured above, was designed by Laura Prill — the french knits and drawstring give it the kind of cozy charm that will turn heads and it's only $13.50. That's a steal!

There are several other perfectly fugly designs to choose from including the Mother Nature or more whimsical Cat In The Hat.

I just wish every iPhone had an ugly Christmas sweater to wear this year. Tender feelings of comfort and joy come free upon delivery.

Your New Leather iPhone 5 Case Comes With A Real Sketchbook In It Too

 

Just because something is handcrafted in Portland, Oregon doesn't mean it's instantly cool.

Case in point is The GOOD Book 5 — equal parts hillbilly iPhone case and artist's little helper that comes with a regular old sketchbook tucked inside so you can git your fancy drawin' on at will.

One wildly popular Apple blog found love at first sight with just one look at this sexy leather-backed beauty.

“I’m quite taken by this simple case, especially as it has space for a paper notebook.” gushed a Cult of Mac reviewer.

The best news is that each case is "designed to consolidate the many items we carry in our pockets everyday," which means credit card slots are built in. Plus it ships with an extra sketchbook too. Jackpot!

It's extremely dificult to imagine a more fashionable or practical way to part with $60 dollars. Just kidding. I'm out on this one.

Welcome to Portlandia — now GO home!

Everything We Hate About Instagram In One Video

 

 

Even if you're a casual Instagram fanatic and haven't ever posted pictures of food or your feet on the beach — then you're just not living right.

College Humor has whipped out a hysterical parody video "Look At This Instagram" which accurately highlights everything that we all hate about Instargram — but we just keep doing it anyway. Hundreds of shameless times a day even.

"Now a selfie lookin' cute, in the same room where I poop."

The double parody whammy here is retooling a Nickelback song as the video soundtrack. Instagram is one of the greatest photography apps ever invented — the only missing tool is YOU.

Apple Starts Selling Really Expensive Unlocked iPhone 5 In The U.S.A.

 

 

If you've been desperately holding out to buy an overpriced, unlocked, contract free iPhone 5 — here's your big chance fellas. GO! Buy two even.

Apple has begun selling untethered versions of their wildly popular iPhone 5 in the Apple store online at $649 for the 16GB, $749 for 32 GB and a ridiculous $849 for the voluptuous 64 GB model. Oooh yeah!

This pricing model is fantastic news for Apple stockholders — but the bad news is that an unlocked iPhone 5 is not supported by CDMA networks like those run by Verizon and Sprint. Plus anxious buyers will also be limited to only 2 phones.

That hunk of bad news is going to sting a bit for those greedy vultures on Wall Street.

But please don't mistake my mild sarcasm as discouragement — all you 1% people in the country who have not bought an iPhone 5 yet, trust me, this is the deal for you. Now you'll be free to pitch a tent with any GSM carrier worldwide.

The best news is that Apple is quoting ship times at only one week and shipping is FREE for all the lucky knuckleheads willing to pay too much for that joyous feeling of being unlocked. It's almost like wearing a jockstrap on the outside of your pants because you can.

I'm just kidding! Paying these prices are so much cheaper compared to the ungodly iPhone 5 gouging going on everyday in China. So don't hesitate to move on this epic opportunity Apple is tossing out there.

I think Nike said it best — JUST DO IT!

This Working Instagram Camera Is The Ultimate Hipster Halloween Costume

 

Photographer Eric Micotto has created an inspiring ultra-geek Instagram costume that captures live photos on the go.

His costume design is powered by a Nikon D800 used to snap photos with the “lens” which pops through the costume up front— an iPad is embedded on the rear to act as a giant LCD screen to view the images.

“On the iPad, I linked to my Eye-fi card using the Shutter Snitch app, which I’ve found works much better for me than the official Eye-fi app. I also set the iPad to not go to sleep so that it would remain lit up and ready.” Eric told Peta Pixel.

The end result causes insta-hipster envy everywhere Eric goes with an Instagram camera in the front and party in the back — all night long!

Chicks go nuts over guys dressed like an Instagram camera. No doubt about it.

There's no debate — these politically correct iPhone 5 cases are hysterical

 

Bla, bla, bla doesn't sound quite so annoying when it's coming from edible politicians like Barackly Obama and Mint Romney. If you don't like what they're saying — then off their heads!

Illustrator Pattavina has imagined a green planet where veggie tale politicians and rock stars like "Robert Plantain" and "Jimmy Sage" rule the world.

Expect to fork over $35 each for the politically correct iPhone case of your choice for iPhone 5, 4S and 3GS models.

SNL Lampoons Whiny Tech Media Over iPhone 5

Everyone knows that corporate tech media are worst than politicians when it comes to being flip-flopping, shaved apes who offer up no real substance — it's far easier to whine about the shortcomings of iPhone 5 than it is to properly worship Apple's superior design evolution.

Saturday Night Live does a hysterical job roasting CNET, Wired Magazine and Gizmodo over their cry baby style iPhone 5 reviews in front of three Chinese Foxconn factory workers. Killed it!

Mad Magazine Spoofs Apple Maps With Cover of The New Yorker

 

Even Mad Magazine has jumped into the Apple Maps bashing party — spoofing an iconic cover of The New Yorker in order to drive home an obvious point in the right direction.

“With over a half billion searches in the first few days, the new operating system is creating some unexpected problems.” Source: Mad Blog

The spoof is based on Saul Steinberg’s original art titled "View of the World from 9th Avenue" which appeared in an issue of The New Yorker on March 29, 1976 as cover art.

Somebody Had To Write Apple An iOS Maps Song

Novelty singer-songwriter Jonathan Mann, the guy who performed the first duet with Siri — could not resist singing “The iOS Maps Song” — in an attempt to remind us all that even Steve Jobs had his share of little product launch missteps. Somebody had to!

“Don't tell me Steve Jobs wouldn't have shipped iOS maps. 
I love the man and I always will but he was not immune to crap”.
