No one can really be sure how legit this email exchange is, but it’s pretty logical to assume that the white iPhone 4 is going to ship in time for the holidays. Apple did mention that it’s going to be released later this year after all. Anyway, here’s how it goes: self-proclaimed “Apple fanboy” Nathan sends an email to Steve Jobs, asking if we can expect the white model to come out by Christmas. And the answer? “Christmas is later this year.” Now, it could just all be made up, but it sure sounds like Jobs.
Remember those old Choose Your Own adventure books that had you flipping to different pages and choosing different paths to move the story along? Well, this video is something like that. Except, it’s actually an ad for Tipp-Ex. It’s not your usual YouTube vid, though; it starts with a hunter that gets attacked by a bear, but at the end you get to make a choice. But this is as far as we’ll walk you through, because you just have to see it–and try it out–for yourself.
Video after the break. And then a couple more after you make the choice. And probably a few more after that.
The iPhone 4 hasn’t even gone that far into the product cycle, but some people are already dreaming of the next one. Because really, while the Retina Display and FaceTime cams on the 4 were nice touches, no heads were really blown away, and no one’s socks really got “knocked off.” At least not like when Apple rolled out the first iPhone, which, if we remember correctly, knocked our socks off, blew our brains out (figuratively, of course), and steered the whole smartphone market towards the touchscreen era in a way that Palm and Microsoft couldn’t have imagined. By the way, two of the mentioned techs above are already possible (in case you need help, it’s the two “apps” that has something to do with 3D). As for the others? Just awesomely mind-blowing (and hilarious to boot). We never would have thought about it if you asked for a future phone wishlist, but a smartphone that can spin straw into gold and wash the cat once a week? Priceless.
Nope, it’s not a trick photo. That’s a photo of a tiny pony—a Horse nano, if you will—in an Apple Store. But that’s not even the amazing thing; notice the people standing around who don’t seem to notice that there’s a tiny horse in the Apple Store? Now that’s amazing. Also, that’s the entire point of Frank Chimero’s blog post, which is a really nice read.
Unfortunately, we still don’t know what it’s doing there (which is driving us crazy; we need a back story!), and if it actually bought something or was just there to check out the new iPods, but at least we’re now aware of something called the “tiny pony phenomenon.”

The internets have been ablaze after a tipser at Engadget found what could possibly be the basis of Google’s Android logo. Apparently—and really, there’s little doubt about it—Google found this character from an old Atari Lynx game called Gauntlet: The Third Encounter. Who really looks like a more fleshed-out version of the logo; with antennae, tiny eyes and all. Oh, and the old character was also named Android. Intellectual theft? We’re not quite sure. Was the logo based on this character? No doubt.
Doesn’t sound so shocking or zomg!-worthy to us, mind you. An Android logo that looks like a character named Android? Sounds fitting. Things have got to come from somewhere, right? It’s not like Apple just dreamt up the Apple logo after all. Maybe it’s just us, but Apple’s logo? Strangely looks like a fruit called an apple.
