What if I told you a white ninja crashed a car into an Apple Store in Greensboro, NC? You'd probably say "Sebastien, you should take it easy on this medicinal marijuana", right? Now what if I told you that I'm typing this, completely sober, and that a ninja indeed crashed his car into an Apple Store?
I know this sound a little surreal but this did happen earlier today...
Fridays usually are slow news days so it's the perfect occasion for sharing news pieces that wouldn't normally make it to iDB. This one is pretty interesting, especially because it involves a jailbreak application.
A 22 year-old man from Tampa, FL, used his iPhone and an application called CallerID Faker to make anonymous and threatening phone calls to his ex co-workers at Florida Energy. He faked the caller ID and alter his voice using the application so he wouldn't be recognized...
A man in Manhattan saw an ad on Craigslist for 4 iPhone 4 at $400 a piece, for a total of $1,600. Because the seller was in Wichita, the buyer asked a friend of his who live there to go buy the iPhones for him. He sent him a check for $1,600, his friend cashed the check and set up a meeting with the seller.
When they met, the buyer gave the seller $1,600 without even bothering having a look at the iPhones. What a terrible mistake. Of course, the boxes were empty, and when he realized that and yelled at the seller, he was told that he had a gun, and that he should basically shut up and leave...
If we had a section on iDB called "people with terrible luck," this story would fit in perfectly. On Tuesday, 5 people entered the Apple Store at Town Square in Las Vegas and started stealing iPhones, iPads, and laptops in front of everyone - can you imagine the balls on these guys?
The thieves most likely realized that someone was going to call the cops but they probably thought that by the time cops show up, they'd be long gone. What they surely didn't know is that plainclothes officers happened to be right outside the Apple Store, working on an unrelated case...
What's better than a Angry Birds cake? Maybe this real life Angry Birds game. I have to admit I am getting a bit tired of the game, but for some reason, I can't have enough of those videos parodying the most famous birds on earth.
I'm not sure what this video is about, but if my Spanish is still good, I believe it's the shooting of a commercial for some Angry Birds related product...
Don't you love when geekiness is fueled by creativity? This is exactly what Ronen Verbit's last creation is all about. Ronen is some sort of digital artist with an intense story and an even more intense website which almost got me to have a seizure in front of my iMac.
I don't know how long it took him to put this video together, but you can only agree that it is very well done and entertaining...
This is an exclusive news - exclusively funny of course - that we are sharing with you today. After months or rumors and speculations, we finally got our hands on the next iPhone. Against all odds, Apple's next smartphone will not be called the iPhone 4S as we suggested yesterday, but simply the iPhone 5.
If you guys are wondering, no, we didn't find this iPhone in a bar, neither did we buy it from someone...
Apple has started running a new series of commercials that all play off the tagline, "If you don't have an iPhone..."
It's no secret that Apple's new ads are a bit prideful. The tone of the voice-overs is boastful and almost snarky. Apple has clearly succeeded with the iPhone, and now they're rubbing it in.
For a look at what Apple really means by these ads, check out this parody video...
Just in case Apple's products haven't totally permeated your daily life, you can now 'slide to unlock' your feet before you enter your home. The "Fußmatte Slide to unlock" doormat by GetDigital is a doormat specifically designed for the iEverything fanatic.
It's a typical doormat that, you guessed it, features the charming 'slide to unlock' interface you see on your iPhone's lockscreen everyday.
I don't know about you, but I love watching the Simpsons cartoon show! And if you also love watching the Simpsons, you'll love the new TomTom update.
Yesterday, TomTom announced that it has ported its popular Homer Simpson voice for turn-by-turn directions to its U.S. iPhone GPS Navigation app...
They've finally done it! After years of speculation, and months of anticipation, Apple has finally released the iBoy!
This video shows the complete unboxing of Apple's latest iOS device, and believe it or not, it's capable of doing a lot more than your iPhone 4.
Among other things, the iBoy can pout, cry, sing, laugh, and dance.
Okay, so it's just a parody from an Israeli television show, but I found it to be quite humorous...
Have you ever wondered about what the future will look like? Specifically, how catalytic devices like the iPhone will shape the coming years?
We may very well already be living in an "iWorld," but The Freestyle Show has put together a quite satirical video showing what our world will look like in 30 years. Needless to say, it's filled with iPhones...
