This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. Not only is Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, the devil himself, he is Lord Vader, too. I’m filing this under the newly created WTF category.
Also, check out the channel’s CGI reenactment of Tiger Woods’ SUV Crash.

A hilarious exchange recounted on the always-entertaining Clients From Hell blog.
Client: Hey, just one final question before I send the deposit. Do you use a PC or a MAC?
Me: I use a MAC.
Client: That is a problem. Do you have access to a PC? I am not a supporter of Apple products.
Me: No, I don’t have access to a PC, but this will have little to no effect on the work itself.
Client: I am a Christian and Apple products are sinful, I do not want our website to be created by a product made by this corrupt group. You need only look at their logo, an apple with a bite taken from it. Do you not know the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? If I allowed you to create my website on a MAC I would be just like Adam, taking a bite of the forbidden fruit.

“Take my advise, destroy your Mac and repent for when judgement day comes. It shall be you who is cast to hell for your sins.”
Me: [Block Contact]
I just have one question. Does this mean Steve Jobs is old Nick himself ?
The iPod has proved to be an unstoppable juggernaut, having sold in excess of 250 million units since its launch in 2001.
This infographic from Online Schools throws light on the phenomena that is the iPod.

I was really not sure why someone would actually need this, but then I realised that this was made to be sold in Japan, the land of tech excess.

We know that time is relative, but we often wish that we could slow or completely stop its passage.
Frustrated by regularly missing his deadlines, Harc Lee, a New York based designer, came up with this wall clock to “stop the time,” or to at least have the illusion of stopping it. A simple flick of the switch can turn on or turn off the numerical, backlit display.
Whoa! I can’t believe there are people crazy enough buy this thing, but, then again, we are talking about Trekkies (ok, Trekkers) here.
The limited edition Klingon Language keyboard has laser-etched characters in Klingon, the fictional language spoken by the Klingons in the Star Trek universe.
The keyboard comes with no other special features, and comes at a price of £43.99 (about $72 ). As demand is really huge, it will be available for delivery from November this year.
This is one of the more wackier products I’ve seen in a while.
The Heavy Metal Nutcracker from Mocha uses a heavy steel ball to make short work of your (edible) nuts.
To use, you just raise the large, smooth steel ball to the top of the U-brackets. Then let it fall, and feel a sense of satisfaction as you watch and hear it crack open the nut, waiting on the base below.
All this intense ball-on-nut action and satisfaction can be yours to experience for £34.99 (about $56).
At first glance, this cleverly designed gizmo seems nothing more than an ordinary metal bracelet. But it is actually a watch designed by Hironao Tsuboi, a designer based in Japan.
The gaps between the links are lit up by a strategically placed LED to form the numerals on the display. The watch comes in three colors
The LED Watch will soon go on sale at 100%.

Way before iPods, CDs, and cassettes tapes, the unwieldy reel-to-reel tape was one of the preferred ways of storing and listening to music.
The beasts that played these tapes were equally cumbersome to use, but had a lot more character than today’s soulless gizmos.
Here is a small gallery of gorgeous custom reel to reel tape decks for your viewing pleasure.
This miniature LED lamp runs off an alkaline battery, that also doubles up as the lamp base. The lampshade even has a tiny on/off pull chain switch.
The ‘Little Lamp’ is priced at £15.00 ($22), and is available on Suck UK.
Stéphane Kardos, an artist working for Disney, uses (paid) apps like “Brushes” and “Netsketch” to create miniature paintings on his iPhone.
The artist regularly posts these artworks to a small, but growing Flickr set.

The Eraser USB Memories Stick from Studioroom906. Not really practical (especially if you want to store valuable data), but it does make a great statement.
