Just a quickie, but it made me chuckle, a lot.

"It's super fast because it hasn't got Flash slowing it down."

On a serious note though, I’ve gotta hand it to Gizmodo, this is the kinda stuff that makes people read it. Humour, and stuff no-one else would have ever thought of.

Valentines Card

If you give this to your geeky to-be, they’d smother you with love and affection. You know, to be honest…

…. I cried. (Not really).

Jobs: Google’s Mantra is BS

Steve Jobs, in the Apple Conference earlier, had something to say. He had something to say about his competition, and those who crumbled in his wake.

It’s Bullshit.” were the only words that popped into the Apple leader as he thought about Google’s mantra, “Don’t Be Evil”. He also noted on Google’s Nexus One, stating that ‘[Apple] did not enter the search business. Google entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We will not let them.’

He gets ahead of himself, though. He goes on to call Adobe “lazy” on the principle that “they have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it.” (Perhaps on the absolute shoddyness of Mac Flash). “When a Mac crashes, it’s usually because of Flash”, he alledgedly told everyone. He also states that “the world is moving… to HTML5.” However Jobs is also ‘nostalgic about the kick-ass Adobe of old’.

Oh, and one more thing…

Heh. Take that, Google.

I just had to.

Steve’s Original Name for the iMac

Horrifying. Truly, truly horrifying.

In November, the former TBWA\Day\Chiat creative Ken Segal stated that the original name for the [blippr]iMac[/blippr] was horrifying, so much that it would “curdle your blood”. I can’t imagine how bad any name could be, and there’s a few thrown around – like Gizmodo suggested ‘Macternet’.

The original name, as demanded for by Steve Jobs was…

… MacMan.

The iMac computers you see today would be known as MacMan. And maybe, a name as stupid as that would cause [blippr]Apple[/blippr] to be a joke – instead of the popular icon it is today.

LOL, MacMan.

image Apple are no stranger to reinventing the way we communicate within our ever developing technology-based world: Apple made the download of media files a convenience rather than a hassle, with iTunes, and the Apple iPhone briefly launching the company into third place as the largest phone manufacturer by revenue and has choked up many column inches both online and in print.

Now they intend to redefine the meaning of print.
