iPhone battery dead? In a squeeze you can charge it with Jaffa oranges

by David Winograd Feb 17th 2010 at 1:00PM

This may be strange -- in fact very strange -- but Imperial Leisure, a marketing and social media firm, has created an advertisement using an iPhone, to promote the sale of Jaffa oranges. They found that with a lot of rods and cable you can use orange power, or rather the power of 2380 Jaffa oranges, to power an iPhone. Talk about thinking outside of the box, or in this case, the crate.

I think part of the hostility might also have been from the cunt/bitch parts.

Are you really that stupid?

Granite and Corian are both harder than steel and will dull knives quickly.

If you had any clue WTF you were talking about, then you would know that most modern "stone" counter tops are made to used as a cutting surface.

I can't even use a third-party charger to power my iPhone, much less a Beowulf cluster of oranges! That's definitely not a 3GS!

...but I wouldn't trade it for any other phone in the world.
