Daily iPhone App: Hackycat makes kicking the cat fun

by Mike Schramm (Feb 18th, 2013)

Stick with me on this: Hackycat is basically a game about kicking cats. In real life, of course, I love cats, and would never want to kick one. But Hackycat, designed by a very talented artist named Ken Wong, is all about playing hackeysack with a bevy of cartoony, colorful and surprisingly ...

iPhone icon cupcakes look touchable, tasty

by Mike Schramm (Dec 29th, 2011)

We haven't posted a really good iPhone cake in quite a while now, so here we go: Reader Tim sends in this set of cupcakes that his girlfriend made him for his 21st birthday, and boy do they look good. There are a few things that, as Apple obsessive, we would call out in there, including the ...

Dolphin uses iPad to learn to identify objects

by Mike Schramm (Jun 2nd, 2010)

Cats love iPads, dogs love iPads, and dolphins... love iPads? That's the word from a site called SpeakDolphin.com [PDF, here's the text], where researchers say they're using the iPad's touchscreen to offer up visual stimuli for dolphins to touch and interact with. A touchscreen for dolphins needs to ...

TUAW's Daily App: RunMonster

by Mike Schramm (May 27th, 2010)

There are quite a few "run tracker" apps in the App Store (I know our own Erica Sadun is a big fan of RunKeeper). However, RunMonster is also worth a look, if only because it's just plain gorgeous. It lets you do all of the usual things: track your runs and bike rides, keep stats on your workouts, ...

The iPillow is cheaper than an iPhone, cuddles better, still no Flash

by Mike Schramm (Mar 26th, 2010)

There's something about Apple's products that just makes people want to cuddle them -- we've talked about lots and lots (and lots) of Apple products turned into pillow form. Here's another: Drew Olanoff's (from Blame Drew's Cancer) mother made this iPhone pillow for him while he was recovering from ...

Take your cute pills: Apple kitteh is a furry little Mac fan

by Steven Sande (Mar 7th, 2010)

It's Sunday, a time for reflection, reading the Sunday comics, and looking at pictures of cute kittehs! TUAW Reader Brian sent us a link to one of his favorite sites, The Daily Kitten. On March 6th, the kitten of the day was a little sweetheart named Lyra, who has learned at a young age that ...

Found Footage: the iLid

by Erica Sadun (Jan 7th, 2010)

When we received the tip for this little video, I wasn't inclined to post about it. Watching it changed my mind. It's sweetly done and brought a smile to my face. Yes, it's a silly joke about an Apple-style device guaranteed to be more useless than the (possibly mythical) tablet but it's a ...

Throwboy releases Halloween Finder pillows

by Mike Schramm (Oct 1st, 2009)

We've mentioned Throwboy here on the site before -- they make handmade pillows, usually in the shape of Mac-related icons. And they just recently sent word about a brand new line of pillows: just in time for Halloween, they've branded the Finder and related icons with a little October 31st flavor. ...

Bebot turns your iPhone into the cutest instrument ever

by Mike Schramm (May 15th, 2009)

I don't think I've ever fallen in love with an app as quickly as Bebot. Not only is it a pretty darn powerful synthesizer with an interesting touchscreen interface, but that robot. That robot! He makes you want to play something, anything, with those cute little closed robot eyes and that dashing ...

Tiny little papercraft iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Jul 17th, 2007)

DS Fanboy's Alisha Karabinus sent us this one, and I have to agree with her. While I'm not normally a man to call things cute (except in that derogatory sense: "Oh, you only beat Halo 2 on Normal difficulty? That's cute."), this papercraft iPhone is so tiny that it is, in point of fact, "cute." ...

Hoodry Pink iPod speaker

by Erica Sadun (Apr 19th, 2007)

Mother's day is just around the corner. Why buy roses when you can pick up a limited edition pink hoody iPod speaker for a mere 120 bucks? It's practically the same color as that old Mother's Day standby red geraniums, but it's way cuter. Unfortunately, when I say "limited" it means that they are ...

Boomwave? Bearaphim iPod case

by Erica Sadun (Feb 28th, 2007)

A word of caution to diabetics: this iPod case is so cute and so sweet that it may just turn your stomach, let alone make you need to inject insulin. In a design that's calculated to make people utter "Awwww! Look at the cute widdle iPod case! Isn't it the cutest widdle iddy biddy nano case evah!", ...

Kittens like Front Row

by Scott McNulty (May 31st, 2006)

really expensive cat toy was sent in by Brenden, and it is cute and scary all at the same time (I wouldn't like a kitten do that to my new MacBook Pro, but then again I'm a stick in the mud). Before anyone chimes in, I would like to point out two things: This video is really cute. I mean, a ...
