The iPhone 4 Debate Gets Animated, Steve Jobs Goes To The Dark Side

Unless you have an amazing panic room or underground bunker without internet service, you've probably heard some whining back and forth about the new iPhone from Apple. Steve Jobs first handled the backlash like only a truly smug douchecopter can by telling someone not to "hold it that way", with the moral being that people have been holding phones wrong for years, they just need someone as amazing as Apple to show it to them. Shockingly this didn't satisfy the public, so Jobs held a conference last week where he turned up the smugometer and acted as if this is all the media trying to tear down his infallible company. Then he took his ball and went home and cried in his mom's arms that everyone was making fun of his new toy.

Fortunately there is an amazing Taiwanese news update on the story that really sheds some light into the entire saga. Like all good quality reporting we get quite a bit of backstory in this lovely animation as well, including how Jobs first came to the dark side, the amazing force used in the search of Jason Chen's house, as well as Jobs' initial plan to fix the iPhone 4's reception problem. So I guess free cases is better than the alternative. Good times.  [via buzzfeed]

Awesome Stuff: Lightsaber Chopsticks

If you don't think this is awesome you may just not like Star Wars, or you might be a redneck.  Apologies for channeling Jeff Foxworthy but I can't help but think he is somehow involved in this.  I would imagine he definitely had a joke about a redneck version of chopsticks, probably with a coat hanger or something.  He was never very funny. 

You can actually order these amazing chopsticks over at Kotobukiya.  Awesome.  [via collider]

The Lost Indiana Jones Theme Song

Now I know why George Lucas had such a hard-on for remaking Indiana Jones, he just wanted to find a way to get this missing theme song in to the film's historical lore.  What I don't understand is why he didn't put it in part 4.  If that film had opened with this song we all would have been able to suspend our disbelief for the entire movie, as the absurdity surely would have gotten us in the mood for the parody based plot of the movie.  Had I known I was walking into a movie that was playing off the absurd like Monty Python or Airplane I surely would have enjoyed the hiding in a fridge during a nuclear explosion bit.

Thankfully it appears that Lucas is planning a fifth, so we can count on finally seeing this genius bit of 80's pop from L.B. Rayne on the big screen.  Another interesting tidbit you may have been unaware of, Lucas also got L.B. Rayne to work on some music for the Star Wars films, so that is the reason for those three pieces of crap from the late 90's.  via
