LOLIRANIANS
Category: photoshop
So, a few days ago Iran got busted for distributing altered photos that made it look like they were launching more missiles then they actually had. (See below before and after and the original story )

Well, today's launches went MUCH better:

Wow! I was not aware of all the fail-whale drama and history!

Tiny, it's not my art, I just photoshopped in the Apple logo. The actual art is from Twitter's server error page.

It should have become a grey thunder cloud, lol.

That is so cool, did you draw in those strings with the birds? Reminds me of this strange little ditty they used to play on Doordarshan, India's Govt run Television Channel :::link::: (from 3:03 onwards).

No Yahoo Mail? Lame....

iPhone/Cocoa developers are not permitted to ask each other questions on mailing lists or write tutorials about how to do stuff and put that on the web. We can't even meet each other in programming groups to show each other how to do stuff, because Apple could sue us, or even worse, deny us use of the Application store . All because the iPhone SDK is under NDA. Did I mention that anyone with a pulse can get said SDK, and that several hundred thousand people have done so? Or that Apple's competitors have access to the SDK?

I really can't understand how Apple's impeding my ability to write applications for their New Greatest Thing is a strategy for success.
tinypliny - 07/10/08 21:09
For some reason this reminds me of the Mad-TV iphone sketch. Hahaha

Only company I have a love/hate relationship with where the love side wins out so consistently which makes the sucky parts hard to bear.
jim - 07/10/08 21:03
Yeah, not actually fully armed and operational. Apple giveth, and Apple taketh away. Fuck you Apple, thank you Apple. Grrr.
paul - 07/10/08 21:01
I am totally disapponted by the lack of a terminal/ consol. It is time my first phone, since the sidekick 1 in like 2003, doesn't have a terminal for accessing servers. Even this phone had it yesterday before being in jailbroken for the 2.0 firmware.
jim - 07/10/08 21:01
Pretty happy so far, except signed up for trial of MobileMe and can't seem to get it activated, so I haven't tried out the over-the-air sync stuff yet (which is what I'm in the end most excited about).

Lightning

Wish I could embed the video here, but you've got to see this: someone getting struck by lightening (they didn't get seriously hurt)

YIKES. SUPER YIKES. I would have just died of fright!

Don't Watch This
Seriously, it's really gross.

I clicked out of curiosity, saw that it was elephants, and stopped the video right away.

I had a pretty good idea about what was coming next.
