Flickr Find: You've been Steve'd!

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Jan 19th, 2009)

When Flickr user jpegsrock returned from a few days out of the office, he discovered that someone else had taken over his desk while he was gone -- Steve Jobs. It's an unwritten rule among his co-workers that something is done to their cubes if ...

The sun-stamped Apple doesn't fall far from the iTree

by Michael Rose (Nov 22nd, 2008)

Some forms of Apple fandom are quick and simple -- the button, the tote bag, the temporary tattoo (not to be confused with the more permanent variety). Some forms, however, require commitment and patience. I don't speak the predominant language over ...

Flickr Find: Close, but not quite

by Robert Palmer (Nov 20th, 2008)

For your evening amusement (and nothing more), Flickr user elbewerk has found a creative way to try and convince people that, no, he's not actually using a PC. Persuasive? Perhaps not. But at least it's marginally more honest about being a PC ...

Flickr Find: An Apple Store in Lego land

by Robert Palmer (Nov 17th, 2008)

At the Austin Maker Faire last month, careful observers noted a small addition to a miniature main street created by the Texas LEGO User Group: An Apple retail store, complete with products inside. TexLUG created a town and space-themed layout that ...

Obama team chose Apple on election night

by Robert Palmer (Nov 7th, 2008)

In what could be a sign of things to come, an unnamed staffer Biden's son Hunter (thanks commenters) was pictured on Election Night showing Vice President-Elect Joe Biden something on a MacBook Air. Biden also appears to be holding an iPhone 3G with ...

New MacBook unboxing photos

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 15th, 2008)

If, like myself, you can't tear yourself away from your G4 iBook long enough to upgrade to the latest and greatest consumer laptop from Cupertino, our friend Joe Russell saves you the fuss with his MacBook unboxing pics on Flickr. There are notable ...

Flickr Find: A polished weight tracking app

by Steven Sande (Oct 9th, 2008)

Having been a connoisseur of fine design since the first Mac hit the streets in '84, I'm always attracted to apps that have that certain polish that is associated with Apple products. That's why I was impressed when I went out and looked at the ...

Flickr Find: TUAW is the word

by Mike Schramm (Sep 30th, 2008)

Rob H. was playing Wurdle on his iPhone when he came across what we'll appropriately call a bug -- apparently the program doesn't actually recognize us as a word (maybe it needs the accent mark over the U?). But we appreciate him trying anyway. Maybe ...

Flickr Find: iTunes genre icons

by Mike Schramm (Sep 22nd, 2008)

Maybe I'm not paying attention (likely), but Derek B. told us about something in iTunes 8 that I'd never seen before -- you can organize your music in Grid view by genre, and when you do, there are some pretty good-looking icons that show up for ...

Flickr Find: The Cocoon

by Robert Palmer (Sep 19th, 2008)

Mitch Haile shared this set with our Flickr Pool to show us the ridiculously awesome setup he has in his office. From what we can tell, he has: a 24-inch Intel iMac a 15-inch MacBook Pro a Mac Pro with six (!) monitors several PCs a ...

Flickr Find: iPhone sketches

by Cory Bohon (Sep 18th, 2008)

We knew it was only a matter of time before this would happen. The fun and frivolous application for the iPhone, Sketches, now has a Flickr pool devoted to its users' quirky creations. From the artistic, to the strange, to the fun, this Flickr pool ...

eeeMac runs OS X on an even smaller portable than the Air

by Mike Schramm (Sep 12th, 2008)

I've heard some great things about the tiny little eeePC, but this is the best thing I've heard so far: it can be a Mac. Twitterer Gregory Cohen has pictures on Picasa of his completed eeeMac, an eeePC transformed (perhaps in similar fashion to ...

Flickr Find: iPhone cubism

by Mike Schramm (Sep 2nd, 2008)

This little glitch has never happened to my iPhone, though I wish it had -- there's a glitch in the iPhone's camera that will occasionally cause it to slice up pictures like this, and our friend Veronica Belmont created a whole pool of the glitchy ...

First picture of the Greensboro, NC Apple Store under construction

by Michael Rose (Jul 31st, 2008)

North Carolinians can start to polish up their credit cards, as the long-awaited Greensboro Apple Store (to be located at The Shops at Friendly Center, a heck of a nice place to spend your money) is now underway. The Iconfactory's Ged Maheux was ...

Flickr Find: Pinewood derby iPhone

by Scott McNulty (Jul 24th, 2008)

The words pinewood derby may be meaningless to you, that is unless you were a boy scout. Then, no doubt, the pinewood derby will conjure up many happy memories (I lost miserably at my boy scout troop's pinewood derby, though I only worked on my car ...

Flickr Find: iPaint myMac

by Robert Palmer (Jul 9th, 2008)

Satta van Daal is a talented stencil artist from Germany, now living in Australia. His canvas? A vast array of old Macs: from SEs to LCs to PowerBook 100s. He decorates them with everything from vignettes of Steve and Woz to carefully recreating the ...
