You “lost” the iPhone 4 in a bar? Yeah… Right!

April 20th, 2010 — 6:23am

I think the “lost iPhone 4″ story is fishy… Some guy finds it in a bar in Redwood City and has the notion and knowledge to hand it over to one of the internet’s most popular tech blogs for it to be shown in powered-down mode only?  Hmm… just seems like it creates a bunch of traffic for Gizmodo and a bunch of iPhone hype for Apple.  Biggest “win/win” of the year.  Besides, Apple is so careful with its products pre-launch that I just can’t imagine their handing out prototype iPhones for their employees to be leaving on barstools in public places.

On top of that, I can’t imagine a well-known company like Gizmodo willingly paying some guy $5000 for what would most definitely be stolen property only to post pictures of said stolen property on the internet in light of the fact that Apple probably has one of the most formidable legal teams in the world.  If this were really the case, it could be like handing ownership of the blog site over to Apple.  They can’t possibly be pulling that much ad revenue to cover the cost of possible legal battles.

Plus “Apple remotely killed the phone?”  Not quite sure about that one.

I call bullshit.

Has it really been a week?  Hmm… Well, sometimes I spend a shitload of time on the ‘net and sometimes not.  Sue me.

Anyway, Jerry won the last one with “You’d be pissed too if Hello Kitty puked a hair ball on your head.”  This week’s picture is below.  Same deal; best caption by this Sunday at 11:59pm wins a $10 iTunes certificate.

“It’s great! It doesn’t do this. Or that. Or that. Or that.
It lacks features, but it’s great!”

Ah! THAT’S better!

OK, so I did a bit of an overhaul, thanks to Icons Etc and created an image map header.  I also tweaked the navbar line a bit.  No if only I could get rid of this cloverleaf thingie and lose the orange headline text.  Only so much time in an evening, though, and it’s time for bed.

UPDATE: I just changed the bullets and favicon and got rid of the orange.  Not sure still whether I’m totally in love with how the site works, but it’s better than it was.  Anyway, it’s kind of an organism in that it’s going to change over time, I’m sure.  Next step is to put another free music page up for YouTube video makers, like the old site had.
