Awesome iPhone Post-it Notes

These are the coolest Post-it Notes I’ve ever seen. They precisely match the size and shape of the iPhone 4.

Apps-on Post-it Notes are actually meant to help iPhone developers design apps by allowing them to sketch on a 1:1 scale of the iPhone 4.  They have a dotted grid for pixel accurate drawings, and these non-photo blue dots magically disappear when scanned or photocopied.

Apps-on Post-it Notes are available to purchase on their website.  I’ve already ordered some and can’t wait until they arrive!

From Associated Press:

So when Apple Inc. launched the iPhone 4 and its FaceTime videoconference feature, it didn’t take long for adult-entertainment companies to develop video-sex chat services and start hiring workers through Craigslist.

With more than 3 million of the phones already sold, the adult industry stands to make big money on this new way to reach out and touch someone — even if it puts Apple, which has always taken pains to keep its iPhone apps squeaky clean, in an awkward spot.

In at least five cities, Craigslist ads seek models specifically for video sex chat on FaceTime. Many of the ads even offer to throw in a free iPhone 4 for the new employees.

“A phone is such an intimate thing, you usually don’t lend it out or have someone else use it,” said Quentin Boyer, a spokesman for Pink Visual, an adult production company. Read more

FOXNews: Apple Is the New Religion

I know Apple users sometimes seem like a cult to outsiders, but if they would just step inside our circle for a little while, they would understand that we’re not.  Yeah, we may look to Steve Jobs for guidance on anything technological, but it’s not a religion.  Okay, well maybe a little….but we are not blinded like this FOXNews.com article is saying.  Apple users are the most rational thinking and open-minded people to exist.

From FOXNews.com:

Apple is the new religion, say several academics. It’s not a matter of rationality, it’s a matter of faith.

In a research paper published this month by two professors at Texas A&M University, the authors argue that the only way to understand the slavish adoration and over-the top financial success of Apple and its “Jesus Phone” (the iPhone) is to understand its minimalist, white-walled stores as the new churches of the tech generation.

iPhone 2G/3G/3GS/4 Speed Comparison

Here is a side by side comparison of all four generations of iPhones.  It’s not a very in-depth comparison, but it does give you a good idea of the speed of each iPhone while doing basic functions like opening apps and browsing the web.

iPhone Lamp Stand Concept

The iPhone has already been used as a flashlight, and now with this iPhone dock concept it can also be used as a desk lamp.  The idea is kinda cool, but I’m sure I could find a much cheaper lamp that would work just as good or better.

President Obama may use a BlackBerry instead of the much superior iPhone, but when it comes to laptops, he’s made the right choice.  Obama used a MacBook Pro with the Presidential Seal over the Apple logo while demonstrating healthcare.gov.
