In fact, it’s so ridiculously amazing that it passes right out through the other side of amazing, wraps around, and becomes slightly boring — my brain apparently cannot comprehend that this could be folded from a single uncut square of paper, and so instead just decides to pretend it’s just a cheap plastic toy.
The crease pattern helps, but still, I found his (technically less impressive) Wall-E more satisfying, somehow.
Click through to the album, though, cause there’s a number of incredible pieces in there.
Remember Ben Charny, the Wall Street Journal reporter who back in February wrote this ill-informed story regarding the iPhone and Adobe’s Flash? He’s got another doozy:
Just how will Apple meet expectations? Using the patent application as a guide, Apple appears to be making room on the iPhone for flash memory, which means an end to Apple’s standoff with Adobe that’s kept iPhones from easily viewing a plethora of Internet videos.
Apple has said that Adobe’s flash media player, which is on hundreds of other phones, doesn’t perform up to Apple’s standards for the iPhone.
So flash memory means support for Adobe Flash. Brilliant.
Update: Perhaps this flash memory will also allow for low-light flash photography with the iPhone’s camera?
The Macalope thinks the possibility of a cross-marketing deal with DC Comics is more likely.
under the headline:
Could also be a reference to Flash Gordon
And despite trying really hard for ages to resist, I’ve finally given in: Maybe the new iPhone will also be useful for cleaning your bathroom surfaces?
(This one’s been sat in my Firefox tabs for weeks, and it was old news even before I saw it. WYWG gets all the scoops!)
The setup is this. This couple raised a cute baby lion cub, but, being a lion, he eventually got too big for them to look after and they released him back into the wild.
A year later they went to see Christian the Lion in his new habitat.
The video starts just as Christian sees the people looking at him, and starts to lumber towards them. As Jenny said, you start to think, “Omg I’m going to see people eaten by a lion live on video.”
The actual footage is more what you’d expect if you remember that a lion is just a big cuddly-wuddly pussycat, though. Yay!
