Hey Hey Hey, it’s Fat Albert.

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Have you ever wondered what you would look like if you put on a few extra pounds? Maybe a few hundred extra? Well wonder no longer. One of the most entertaining apps I’ve seen in a long time is only $.99 at the app store, and it’s well worth it. It pays for itself in laughs.

Before and After Krispy Kreme

Fatbooth, from the developers of Aging Booth, takes a picture of your face and adds some rolls, a few chins, and a rosy glow so you know exactly what you’d look like if you supersized on a daily basis. It gets more entertaining still when you and your friends make faces, or have exaggerated accessories like big glasses or creepy mustaches. Try it, I dare you. Anyway, I’m going to humble myself for a moment and show you my results:

Yikes.

Eww. Well, now I have tangible motivation to keep running and stay in shape.

In other Apple news, the relationship with AT&T is still a little rocky. Apple engineers are under a bit of fire from hundreds of thousands of Verizon customers who are clamoring for an iPhone of their own, which may come as early as first quarter next year if the rumors are true. Then again, the rumors probably aren’t true, as Apple has complained about the stability of the network and then decided to stay with AT&T for the last three years. Also, engadget.com has some updates on the new WiFi trackpad device that Apple should be launching by the end of this year. Looks like the FCC says GO.

Well, stay tuned to Apple news- now that the reception issue is “solved,” at least temporarily, they’re going to be busy shipping bumpers for the next few weeks. But if your iPhone 4 is flat-out broken, go ahead and send it to us and we’ll take care of you. Until next time.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Rumors, rumors, rumors! No, I’m not just excited about Fleetwood Mac. I’m talking about iPhone and iPod rumors. Summer means new products and and upgrades from everyone’s favorite portable device frontrunner. This is what we can be relatively confident about: the iPods Touch and Nano will be redesigned and feature a camera. The iPhone 3G will have a camera on the front. And there will be some significant software changes. This is what we can guess at: Apple is developing a version of the iPhone for the Verizon network. Apple will introduce a less expensive voice and data plan with AT&T. And Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus will mark Lorenzo Lamas’ glorious return to superstardom. Just wait and see.

So keep your lookin’ balls fixed on Mac Rumors or Apple Insider for all the cool news coming up over the next few weeks, and get excited cause summer is here.

It’s Here!!

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Well what a day we have here- the new 3G iPhone is out and about. We had one of our eccentric salesguys wait in line overnight just so that we could have one to take apart. It turned out pretty good and the new phone looks beautiful with its shiny white back. Just precious. And we have taken it apart and put it back together with complete success. Stay tuned for pictures.

It does seem as though ol’ AT&T and Apple got a little overzealous with their “only activating in stores policy”. Apparently the network was jammed due to the huge ammount of people trying to activate, and at this point most iPhones have not even been activated yet, boy I tell ya. Not to worry though- I’m sure that all of these issues will be resolved in no time. I mean we are talking about Apple here. It’s not the first time they’ve released a sweet piece of awesomeness and had a few glitches in the process. Remember the Apple II? Man, Number Munchers didn’t work for like a week! Just kidding. I was but a boy when that young gun was released.

Well as you can tell I am a little scatter-brained today. I am so excited about this new iPhone that I’m losing my mind. With that thought I bid you farewell- have a great weekend and be safe.

–Hurry up and activate that iPhone will ya–
