We've seen our fair share of weird and creepy iPhone accessories, but this one might reach a new height. Coming from Japan, let me introduce you to the Hand Case.
We don't know much about this case. I can't tell you where you can get it or how much it costs, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue as I doubt you'd be interested in buying it anyway...
People's Liberation Army (PLA), aka the unified military organization of China, has been under scrutiny for the past few years for being the second largest military in the world in terms of budget, right behind the US.
To relieve stress from neighboring countries and also the rest of the world, the PLA thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to be more transparent about its military capabilities and intentions, and so they decided to create an iPhone application.
This news itself is interesting, but maybe the most interesting part is that the app will not be available on the App Store. It will only be available on jailbroken devices...
Geniuses at MIT have come up with a relatively cheap way of detecting cataracts in the human eye by using an iPhone and a clever attachment.
The CATRA system is a hardware device that attaches to an iPhone (and presumably other devices). The CATRA then uses the screen output to detect cataracts.
While we're sure that the underlying technology is much more complicated than that initial explanation, we're sure you get the gist...
Running a beta release of iOS on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch comes with a very specific set of possible problems, ranging from poor battery life, to potential software conflicts, to things just plain not working.
One possible issue that we've not really considered before is the chance of an iPhone actually settings itself on fire. And that's apparently what's happened to one iOS developer's handset.
Or, his charging cord, at least....
Paris based tattoo artist K.A.R.L is probably going to make history with what appears to be the first animated tattoo brought to life with an iPhone. There is no real mystery behind it though.
K.A.R.L tattooed a QR code on his guinea-pig. The QR code was made to display an animation when activated with an QR code reader you can find in the App Store. Not groundbreaking by any means, but still pretty cool...
It's no secret that young adults are taking extreme measures to get their hands on Apple products. It wasn't long ago that the story of the kid who sold one of his kidneys to buy an iPad 2 made its way around the internet.
Offering an organ for an Apple product seems pretty drastic, until you hear what this next girl is offering. The Korea Herald is reporting that a young Chinese woman has posted an "ad" offering to trade her virginity for an iPhone 4...
If you ask a parent, they might call it intuitive. If you ask a musician, they might call it inspiring. To a doctor, it’s groundbreaking. To a CEO, it’s powerful. To a teacher, it’s the future. If you ask a child, she might call it magic. And if you asked a British Lady, she’d say it’s just a hat.
This woman wearing an iPad as a hat was spottted at the annual Royal Ascot, a five-day racing event that has highlighted both British fashion and horseracing since it was first created in the 1700th...
Videos like this remind us how "magical" Apple's products really are. If you've haven't seen a good magic act in awhile, you'll appreciate this presentation called, "iPod Magic - Deceptions."
Marco Tempest, or "The Virtual Magician," shows off some of his handiwork with a few iPod touches. It's not your typical set of magic tricks, and the whole presentation has an interesting message as well...
You can file this under the creative and ridiculous categories. Just in case you haven't gotten enough of Apple's WWDC keynote on Monday, you can now watch "WWDC 2011: The Musical." We know, sounds like a dream come true.
It may sound like the worst 4 minutes of your life, but the guys that put this funny video together are actually quite entertaining. Check it out after the break...
How much do you want an iPad 2? What would you do to get one? Unless you're willing to sell a part of your body, you're probably not as desperate as Zheng, a 17 year old teenager from China, who decided to sell one of his kidneys to finance the purchase of an iPad 2.
Because he couldn't afford it, Zheng started looking around on the internet for ways to get that money. This is when a "broker" got in touch with him and offered him 20,000 yuan (about $3,000) for one of his kidneys...
Stefanie Gordon had no clue that she would soon be internet famous when she boarded a flight from New York to visit her parents in Palm Beach. During descent, the pilot of the commercial airline informed the passengers that they could be witnesses to the space shuttle Endeavour’s last launch.
It turns out that the best camera is the one that's always with you. And in this case, that camera was an iPhone. Who knew the iPhone could shoot a steady video at 15,000 feet from a passing airliner...
Just in case Apple's products haven't totally permeated your daily life, you can now 'slide to unlock' your feet before you enter your home. The "Fußmatte Slide to unlock" doormat by GetDigital is a doormat specifically designed for the iEverything fanatic.
It's a typical doormat that, you guessed it, features the charming 'slide to unlock' interface you see on your iPhone's lockscreen everyday.
