The iPhone has crashed! The iPhone has crashed!

iphonecrashed.jpg As you probably gathered via the header, the iPhone has crashed! The iPhone has crashed! My, it’s a good day for Microsoft fans (admittedly there’s only two of us on this site, the rest worship at the temple of Jobs, but we’ll brainwash ’em one day soon, promise).

Well, maybe. The site which first published the photo of the burnt-out iPhone claims it was on display in an Apple store…

Destroy your Mac laptop and use it to control Pong's paddles

You’d be forgiven for thinking Tech Digest had turned into a blog focussing purely on ways to hack the game Pong and play it through various mediums other than your arcade or Atari systems. No, we’re not renaming ourselves Pong Digest, much to the distress of these guys, sorry.

One such Pong-enthusiast has created a version of the game to run on his Mac laptop using the sudden motion sensors and microphone. People who smother their Macs in protective laptop cases or daren’t take it out into the wild should avoid this game, as it actually involves ohmygod tilting your laptop vigorously and potentially harming your laptop’s microphone by screaming into it. Tilting the laptop controls the direction of the paddle as you’d expect, and raising your voice, by say, screaming into the microphone, actually increases the size of the paddle.

Take a look at the video under the jump for some Apple/Pong-hybrid humour, and the link where you can actually download the game for yourself…

The best video on teh internets, ever. iPhone parody of the Pussycat Dolls' 'Dontcha'


Without a doubt, this video is what the internet was created for. Forget the Nintendo sixty-foooouuuur kid, the otters holding hands, heck, even the My Hands Are Bananas vids, this is the creme de la creme of online video.

Wait for the killer chorus – “dontcha wish your cellphone was hot like me, dontcha wish your keypad was button-free…dontcha wish your cellphone was raw like me, dontcha wish you spent more than half a gee”. Perfect. I will probably be watching this video thirteen times a day on average. Well, at least until someone creates a parody of Depeche Mode’s…

Prince, Maroon 5, Pink, Simply Red and New Order follow The Beatles' Yellow Submarine Apple iPod collaboration!

Well, if I were ‘in’ with Steve Jobs and his cronies, that’d be the case, anyway!

My more-than-slightly-dodgy Photoshop of the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine iPod last week caused such a furore over the internets, with plenty of sites not only linking to our story, but also pinching the mock-up I created. It got to the point where when Gizmodo linked to us and originally included my ‘mad Photoshop skillzorz’, several readers complained about the quality of the pic, and their Photoshop da Vinci, Jesus Diaz, had to hurriedly create a new one to sate the Apple fanboys’ appetite. I can just imagine the horrified looks on their faces as they realised someone had desecrated their beloved Jesus ‘pod without actually having a graphic design degree. Gasp!

So I thought I’d throw a bit more bleach on your eyes with some more band-themed iPods Apple really should create. Stuff the Beatles’ whole catalogue, who wants…Simply Red’s? Apart from moi?…
