flop ya mac out

We run a sober ship, here at flop ya mac out.

If anyone is seen with a whoopie cushion or a snag (sausage) in their pants, pretending to have a large (possibly erect and greasy) penis, they’re dealt with in a full-serious manner.

There’s no room for error when sailing these treacherous, digital waters, and we won’t suffer fools and their “poo jokes” lightly.

No.

We will hoist them up the main sail to the crow’s nest and put them on show for all to see that pass us by!

Many thanks to the Photoshopalicious Kyle Pasalskyj for creating this master-batory-piece; something positive to inspire our children’s children children. Children of the Future.

We feel that geek boner too, Jony. We feel it too.

When one thing leads to another…

Flop Ya Mac Out casually observes that John Gruber‘s latest batch of t-shirts default to ‘Guy XL’ when one places an order.

One can rest assured that when Flop Ya Mac Out releases t-shirts, upon ordering, they’ll be defaulting to ‘Ladies Tight Fit.’

Horses for courses, people. Horses for courses.

We love you, John.

So what’s with the iPhone case on the demo iPhone’s at WWDC 2008?

My best guess is they are there because the iPhone can be a little slippery to hold. (So I’ve found. Though do I love the silver matte finish…) Perhaps the rubbery-looking case is simply there to prevent demo slippage?

Imagine the guy is showing off Sega’s Monkey Ball and whoops!! There goes the iPhone.

Has anyone seen this sorta case for sale?

We discuss the iPhone 3G, WWDC 2008 keynote and more, in flop ya mac out 38: post-wwdc banana milkshake.

It was with much annoyance that Dan and I found out that some crafty, iPhone-flogging eBayer in Australia has been hot-linking to our images here at Flop Ya Mac Out, in a bid to brighten up his eBay page.

Sure, we may glean the odd photo here and there off Google Images ourselves, but we feel there is a distinction between doing this, and free-loading on someone’s bandwidth for profit, without asking.

We meditated over this for a while, and then formulated the perfect plan.

Amidst fits of giggling, we sourced some suitably appropriate ‘equivalent images,’ (we decided against hardcore porn after much debate), uploaded them to our server, and then let them fly.

Better still, once eBay pages are submitted, the code can’t be changed! We hope they’ll sway perspective buyers even more so now than before, but see what you think.

Results follow:

Brings new meaning to Virgin Mobile, no? A cheeky lesson learnt, but one he’ll never forget.

“Track pad? What do you mean use the track pad on the laptop? Well, what if I put if I put it… here, like this? I’m using it on the laptop now aren’t I?

You know, we really should plug a keyboard into this thing.”

Bo Diddley, indeed.

Like many owners of the current iPhone, I’m going “fuck it off” once I get my hands on some juicy 3G iPhone goodness! There-in lies a first world kind of dilema… What do I do with my “old” iPhone?

Do I simply place it back in its box, so that in years to come I can look up to that dusty mantle and comment to my grandson, gesturing with my smokey pipe,

“Fucking look at that son! No, up there on the mantle piece! Underneath the dust! See that box? Best box ever – ‘cept for your Grandma’s! Ha ha.. But seriously – listening to me now, eyes this way son – that young man, that, is an original Apple iPhone. Best piece of technology you could buy back in the day. It may look a little bulky nowadays, but believe me, that piece of beautiful art did more than just look pretty – it was a Phone, an iPod, an Internet communications device!…”

Perhaps I could give my old iPhone a new lease of life – a change of career if you will – and use it to shave with and drink beer from… Though no doubt people would stop hanging around with me at the bar, as I bragged about how this was to the my 15th beer I’d chugged from my iPhone, and could still whoop everyones arse at pool…

Perhaps I should just keep my old iPhone next to my bed, in case I have had too many real beers, and I can’t quite seem to pleasure that special someone I picked up tonight; that’s when I have the phone fully charged, with finger poised over the iBrate app…

Having a jailbroken iPhone could never be more important, could it Steve. 

Well, seems like I sorted out this problem with a little “diary entry” work. Thanks for listening guys. 

Saw this on the train today. Nice to know our trains are running state of the art 1990′s chipsets.

After tonight’s podcast, we turned out attention to waveform of our voices on Dan’s screen, and before too long we were attempting phallic-shaped pictures by manipulating our voices.

Dan’s is the more slender and less satisfying first piece, while mine is the larger, more manly effort below.

Better still, we kept the corresponding audio files, which sound almost more titillating than the resulting waveforms!

In this week’s episode we give the low down on Vodafone and Optus taking on the iPhone in Australia, as well as Channel Nine’s ‘Windows on the iPhone’ gaff.
