iphone speaker skin: how to look loud

filed under: hacks-mods | media players

Bass is Good Skin for iPhone

The latest in DecalGirl’s series of skins for Apple’s iPhone is a real hoot. Perhaps to overcompensate for the notoriously low volume on the iPhone’s speakers, the Bass is Good sticker set makes your phone look like a mini-boombox.

If only all those speakers were really functional. Now that would be cool…

photo of the day: iphone, meet windows

Windows iPhone Kiosk

Apparently, those iPhone demo kiosks in AT&T stores are wolves in sheep’s clothing…

Here’s an interesting thought: When you turn a Windows XP machine on it’s side, does it become an Apple? Apparently, these kiosks are really running on Dell machines and Samsung displays…

cardboard boom box really works

filed under: audio | design | media players

Cardboard Boom Box by Suck UK

This boom box has everything you’d expect in a portable stereo: an amplifier, speakers, even an iPod dock. But this one is made out of cardboard.

While most portable stereos aren’t particularly waterproof, this one doesn’t stand a chance in a rainstorm. The Mini Cardboard Boom Box comes folded flat and ready for assembly…

Segway Beta T-Shirt by Indie Tech

Me thinks this is the absolute funniest t-shirt design I’ve seen in a while…

Indie Tech’s brilliant Segway Beta T-Shirt is a must have for all hipsters, hipster-doofuses, geeks, dweebs, nerds and generaly cool people. I’ll be plunking down my credit card tonight for one of these $15 shirts.

are you looking at my pac-man headgear?

Pac-Man Hat

I can’t imagine who the target market is for these ridiculous Pac-Man hats. While they might be cute on a 3-year old, for some reason, I don’t think they’d know what Pac-Man was. Besides, Namco says these are ADULT size.

For those of you 30 and 40-somethings who do love the little yellow dot gobbling fiends, I suppose you could wear one of these $30 Pac-Man plush hats…

classic apple moment: newton handwriting recognition

filed under: mobile tech | retro

Simpsons Newton Parody

Here’s a fun little retro vid clip I came across earlier today. The 9-second clip from an old Simpsons episode is short, sweet, and really funny.

With all the recent iPhone buzz, it’s kind of fun to look back at Apple’s earlier, less than successful entry into the handheld market…

hand knit pac-man and pals

filed under: geek art & craft | video games

Pac-Man Knit by Carey Huffman

Check out these wacky crocheted 3-dimensional versions of Pac-Man and his cohorts.

Artist Carey Huffman hand knit these little versions of the yellow dot gobbler along with his ghostly pals Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. She’s even gone to the trouble to create this pattern guide for you to create your own.
These seem like the perfect companion for the knit iPhone and the felt Nintendo…

the real reason the xbox 360 failed in japan

Xbox 360 Japan Do!Do!Do!

[Every once in a while, I'll dig through the archives here at Technabob and dust off an oldie, but goody for your enjoyment. With all of the E3 buzz surrounding the Xbox 360 last week, I figured I'd bring you this classic from about a year ago...
