iPhone branded gas stoves seized

The Chinese authorities have seized stoves being manufactured and sold under the iPhone brand name and with a logo almost identical to the Apple Inc.’s. Am sure the food must have just cooked by itself on these bad boys and tasted amazing.

Not sure what is more ridiculous. That these stoves were on the market or that the authorities bothered to hunt them down. I guess I was wrong when I thought product names can’t be copyrighted if it’s in a completely different, non-competitive industry.

Rats. That means I’ll probably have to shutdown my Coke talcum powder racket and scrap my plans of launching a Mars Pleasure Bar.

iOS 86

What makes the iPhone so amazing has a lot to do with its iOS which gives it a very attractive and user-friendly interface. Now what would the iPhone look like if it used the OS that the original Macs from the 80s had? Check out these amazing conceptual renderings to find out.

Apple iPhone iOS 86

The iOS ’86 concept by Anton Repponen wonderfully re-imagines the default iOS home screen in the style of the original Mac OS, down to the classic Chicago bitmap font. It’s a neat idea that almost makes me wish I could skin my iPhone’s beautiful 960×680 screen with an old low-resolution GUI—just to see if it looks this nice in real life.

Classic Apple iOS iPhone skin

It’s still a concept so could be a great opportunity for someone to come up with an actual iPhone theme or skin, based on it. via – Gizmodo

Apple globe carving

No, we mean the fruit this time, not the iPhone company that has hijacked the name. Though creating such an intricate bite would have required teeth similar to the prowess of Apple engineers.

Time to replace the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. How about “eat an apple, conquer the world”?

iPhone 4 BaseStation stand

Get your iPhones ready again for yet another accessory. Now you can put up your iPhone on display while it syncs and charges.

The BaseStation for iPhone 4 (and presumably the iPhone 4S) features a large holder that has a matching groove for your device and its USB cable.

Available in Maple or Walnut wood, you can also personalize it by having your name engraved on the block.

Great way to show off your gadget.

Olloclip 3-in-1 lens for iPhone 4

The Olloclip is a quick-connect lens solution for the iPhone 4S that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one small, convenient package that easily fits in your pocket.

The Olloclip’s creators specifically designed the attachment to clip onto the side of the iPhone 4. That limits its range–it won’t work with phone cases and it won’t fit on other phones, either, unless their thickness and camera location perfectly match the iPhone 4’s.

The Fisheye lens captures approximately a 180 Degree field-of-view and produces some striking images.

I Phone You Tube

Another play on the names of some of the most popular things used today. The iPhone revolutionized how we look at phones and what would we have done without YouTube?

Apple iPhone 4S dilemma

Whether to buy or not to buy the iPhone 4S is quite a tough decision. It offers nothing new in its appearance so you won’t be able to show it off so easily. However, it is new and improved nonetheless.

Me, I’ll stick to showing off with my Samsung, running Android and pretty much all the cool apps you can associate with the iPhone.
