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.

Full disclosure: Flop Ya Mac Out owns Daring Fireball t-shirt stock.
We love you, John.

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.

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.

I don’t have the Google Talk client installed, so I Googled around to find out if this was a new feature or just an anomoly, but within two searches the only relevant results that came up were this this article which showed a different implementation of the inbuilt call feature, and this other one talking about the possibility of what I saw, coming soon.

Nothing happened when i pressed the new buttons of the box that sat bottom left in the web browser, and refreshing the page got rid of it.

Rather random, but perhaps I got a sneak peek at how the call function is going to integrated into the ‘chat’ box (on the left), when you click on a contact. Is this news? Or have others seen this too?

Feel free to speculate what the music symbol and purple circle are all about…

The iPhone has yet to be released in Australia, so this was a total shock. It was totally random, man.

Rove had just interviewed Jana Wendt, and asked who she would turn gay for as part of his “20 questions for $20″ segment. Jana gave the name of some Italian bird who Rove vaguely knew, so after the following commercial break, he showed the camera a picture of the Italian lady he had supposedly Googled, and right there on an iPhone.

Rove left the iPhone sitting on the “poof” in front of him for the remainder the segment. As they went to another break, Rove picked up the phone and showed it (or the screens contents) to the other guests on the couch and starting chatting the picture or perhaps also, the phone.

Is this the iPhone’s first public appearance on national television in both Australia and New-Zealand? Perhaps not the most exciting news all round, but questions now have to asked – who’s exactly is it? What plan is he/she using with it? How long have they had it and how did they get it? Perhaps he bought it when “Rove” did two shows in the US.

It was just one of the “cool” moments i had to share with y’all.

“Yo bitches! Check this out!…”

See this iPhone i’ve got here? Here in my hands dumb ass. It’s been updated with some pretty kewl new features with software update 1.1.1.

Double clicking the home button now takes you straight to Hawaii. Steve and i now to lunch their on Tuesdays. He pays for my tomato Juice.

Also with this latest really great update, you can turn your house lights out!

See?

But a word of caution, do not try to insert the iPhone up your sphincter. It hurts. Okay, lights on.

Ooo! Steve, hey, stop it… Hey, where’d you come from? We’re recording. …He he! That tickles…

Well okay, but hurry up! I gotta take that Zune from outa my ass, i think it’s finished. They don’t make the brown ones anymore and i’m trying to capture that market with my home modified…

Actually, I think… Yep. Ahhhh….. That’d been up there for fourteen days straight.

All clear!

Thank you.
