Déjà vu all over again

The Company That Owns the “iPad” Name Made iMac Knockoffs

by Max Eddy | 1:00 pm, February 18th

In case you weren’t aware, Apple is currently engaging in a bitter dispute with the Chinese company Proview over who owns the rights to the “iPad” name. Turns out that Proview, which has been semi-defunct for quite some time, produced something called an Internet Personal Access Device or iPAD. It certainly doesn’t look like a tablet computer, but it certainly does look like a cheap iMac knock off.

All 22 James Bond Intros Side By Side By Side By Side [Video]

by Eric Limer | 1:15 pm, February 15th

In the interest of science! YouTuber MJCJMJCJM created a composite video which shows the first minute of every James Bond film simultaneously in a handy little matrix. As you might expect, things don’t line up perfectly, but it’s still cool to see all those iconic shots go off. Now I just want to see someone redo this, but with all the shots synchronized. Surely someone out there has to be working on that.

Another Apple Employee Loses Another iPhone Prototype at Another Bar

by Eric Limer | 1:29 pm, September 1st

So, after an Apple employee lost an iPhone 4 prototype in a bar — a prototype that wound up in Gizmodo’s hands and caused all kinds of trouble — it appears that at least one Apple employee took the opportunity to not learn his lesson and accordingly lost an iPhone 5 prototype (we think) in a bar, CNET reports. Now as bizarrely coincidental as this sounds, there are a few poetic coincidences we can’t draw. It’s not the same bar, almost certainly not the same employee and, worst of all, it hasn’t resulted in any fun information for us, the unwashed masses.

The phone was apparently lost at a bar in the Mission District of San Francisco, Cave 22. While Apple has been going to all lengths to try and get this thing back, understandably, its current whereabouts are unknown, to us at least. There appears to be a chance that it was sold on Craigslist for a scant $200, in which case, neither party may be aware that what they have is special. If that’s the case, either the iPhone 5 is pretty similar to the iPhone 4, the guy who found it was really drunk (or needs to get with the times) or it wasn’t actually an iPhone 5 prototype. Still, maybe some interesting information will surface.
