Today on Boing Boing Gadgets, we took Google’s new iPhone voice search app for a spin, and reflected on the nostalgic smell of old NES cart sleeves, as well as the analog fluttering of old clocks.
Brownlee wrote a post in morse code about a morse code watch, and admired an ad-hoc iPhone number pad for MacBooks. Meanwhile, Joel flustered about Apple’s crappy hardware DRM and made an Arrested Development connection in regards to a busted philanderer’s dirty iPhone pics, which he swears are a firmware “glitch.”
Guest blogger Tony Hightower gave us the scoop on organic motion: motion capture without the suit. A carbon-fiber acoustic guitar was attractively lute-like. Covert gamers cram old GameBoys into their graphing calculators. Joel deeply inhaled the miasmic retch of a Stitch himidifier.
Also in the day, Joel invited readers to goatse his new picture frame (email 2062270093 DERP tmomail.net if you’d like to get in on the fun). Brownlee wanted to play his complete Tiny Tim collection on a horrifyingly surreal SpongeBob SquarePants dock. We took a Tesla for a spin by proxy, and made a call on our banana phones.
Otherwise, Beschizza ripped apart a Boeing 788 in a stress test. and discovered a surprisingly cheap MacBook Air prototype that may not be all it seems. And Dan Lyons, aka “The Real Steve Jobs”, is now being censored by Newsweek for doing exactly what he was hired for.
Oh, also. The Zune? Prepare for its imminent release.
