Darth Steve deploys the RDF in latest Taiwainese news animation

by Michael Rose (Jul 19th, 2010)

This cinematic masterpiece is well beyond any comment or explanation we can provide, but I'll try. 3D animated re-enactments of the news are popular in Taiwan, and several top stories from the past few months have broken out as viral videos. In this case, the animators decided to give visual ...

Found Footage: The reality distortion field, caught on video

by Mike Schramm (Sep 17th, 2009)

Think Apple's products are "really great," "incredible," "amazing," "really easy" to use, "awesome," "terrific," "incredible," "great," and "amazing"? If so, it's probably because Apple told you that's what they were in last week's presentation. The above video's been making the rounds -- it's all ...

by Michael Rose (Mar 11th, 2008)

As has been widely emailed by our crack readers, the Apple Store is down as of midnight.

He said: "the problem with them is... they all have these ...

Macworld 2006 Stevenote: boon or bust?

by Scott McNulty (Jan 11th, 2006)

The dust has cleared, Steve's Reality Distortion Field faded away, and the Keynote is a mere memory. Now is the right time to ask you, our dear readers, if you thought this keynote was great or a yawn. On the showfloor reaction seems to be mixed, but I would have to say that more people are excited ...

I've got your Reality Distortion Field right here

by Laurie A. Duncan (Feb 22nd, 2005)

My new favorite Mock Apple Web Page: Reality Distortion Field. Damn them for making the entire page an image! How am I supposed to gratify myself if I can't keep adding more G5 minis and iPod monos into my shopping cart??? BTW - did you know that "reality-distortion field" is actually an entry at ...
