5 Anime That Love Apple
News of the death of Steve Jobs last week was a major disappointment to the tech industry and people around the world. As people remember how he and Apple changed the world with products such as the iPod and iPhone, I think it would be interesting to take a look at what kind of influence he has had on anime. One of the unique things about anime is that a lot of “product placement” is inserted freely by the creators. In order to avoid copyright infringement, they alter the names of companies to get brands like “WcDonald’s” and “Sudohbucks”. When it comes to electronics, homegrown tech giants dominate the anime Read more »
20 Incredible Tributes to Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was one of us. The ultimate anti-establishment rebel who became the establishment, yet refused to play by anyone else’s rules. A geek kid from California who dropped out of college, played with electronics in his garage, and over the course of his 56 years, changed the world forever. Jobs’ fans and admirers are paying tribute to him today in whatever ways they know how, and here are 20 of the best. Read more »
Realizations while creating this desktop wallpaper tribute
EDIT: The original image is traced back to the young Jonathan Mak. I found an Apple logo with Steve’s silhouette serving as the bite mark. I don’t recall exactly where I found it, but I really wanted to turn it into a little tribute wallpaper. Problem was, the image was around 300 x 300 and really wouldn’t fit anything, even a mobile device. I opened Keynote and created a new presentation with a black background. Pasted the image and it auto-aligned with the rulers. Added the text. It was that easy. Many years ago, creating something like this would have taken about 5 minutes if you were any good. It Read more »
How Much Would You Pay for an iPhone 5?
Man, the rumors about iPhone 5 are all over the place. And let’s face it: this is Apple, and that’s the way it’s always going to be. But one aspect of the new device that hasn’t been addressed is its price. Will Apple go up in price due to new technology? Will they keep it the same, as they always have? Or might they even lower it, to be ultra competitive? Opinions, anyone? Read more »

The justinCase. Protect your iPhone and your private parts
As an iPhone 4 owner I’ve tried many cases to protect my precious device. Apple’s iPhone 4 Bumper is a nice addition which shows off the beauty of the phone, but fails to truly protect the phone in the event of a drop. Not good given my penchant for dropping phones. The BoxWave Keyboard Buddy Case is another favorite of mine, offering the ability to use a slide-out keyboard on the iPhone 4. Unfortunately, while adding an extra layer of utility and protection to the iPhone, the Keyboard Buddy adds size to the iPhone. Definitely an annoyance. Read more »
Hasbro My3D Handheld Viewer for iOS devices. A high-tech View-Master

Starting April 3, the iconic View-Master will add a high-tech sibling to its family with the introduction of the My3D Handheld Viewer. Read more »

iPhone Playing Cards
Only hardcore Apple fanboys and fangirls need apply. For $25 plus shipping, you can show the world just how serious you are about your love for the world’s most magical phone — the iPhone. That hefty price is probably related to the unusual size of the cards, which are about an inch taller than the standard. There’s also the smoothly rounded-off corners, made to match the design of the iPhone 3G and its tapered back. My favorite part is the cheeky variations on some of the cards, where iOS interface elements are superimposed over the card faces. The Queen of Diamonds, for example, has an iPhone keyboard covering the lower half Read more »
