It might deter thieves. Like that Zune cover for iPods.

This is for the guy who's got the Ferrari and made a hole in the hood to put his Caddy medallion in.

*sigh*...

That crap is like taking a Mercedes-Benz C300 and bolting a Ford Taurus grill onto the front...

and replacing the interior...

and the paint...

that just makes me feel sad.

Now Fat, Stupid Zune Tattoo Guy has a reason to get an iPhone (I can't imagine he needs to call anyone. Who'd employ him? Or be his friend? Except Steve Ballmer anyhow)

In the words of Mr. T…

I pity the fool!

"More Better..." and we stop right there...

Do they have direct links to the dancing monkey video?

Again, people are trying to make Microsoft part of innovative cutting edge technology. I would be very uncomfortable with anything Microsoft in my iPhone. Haven't they done enough damage to the PC industry?

Does the skin include bugs and security holes?

Cause it ain't got the vista feel, unless that happens... and add in the mono-touch hence removing the multi-touch

Slow news day in Mac land x2

There is no call for this kind of abuse! I'm still waking up and do not appreciate this. If you have to post this kind of trash, please do so after 3:00PM. Thanks

If only that time and energy could be channeled.....

I just puked in my mouth.

What's next?

Catherine Zeta Johnes married with Michael Duglas?

Ups... Wait...

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "backwards" compatible.

Feeling a little better now . . .

Thought I might point out that, as great as Mac OS X (and it's new mobile variety) is under the hood, we should all bow down to the greatness that is Apple's graphic design department.

I mean, just a sprinkling of Microsoft icons totally ruins the best piece of mobile hardware ever designed. That speaks volumes!

"Excuse me sir, would you like a fresh and steaming turd topping on your filet mignon?"

VistaPerfection? What an oxymoron. Perfection shouldn't be within 10 miles of Vista, let alone being so close that there is no space between the two.

What kind of fscking idiot wants this?

Two comments. 1) What does the windows start button do?

2) MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

MDN, you should put a stock photo of iPhone up, just for instant comparison's sake.


I wonder what Jon Ive would think if he saw this?

May 20, 08 - 09:29 am Comment from: Ampar

"What kind of fscking idiot wants this?"

There's always at least one.

So much for perfection when it comes to vista..
For instance, they have pictures and Photos ...mmmm
then there is control panel and another one for settings .. strange ¡¡
There is also a computer icon for a phone... why?
don´t know either what happens when you press WMP... guess it takes you to a real iPod.

There must have been a typo, it's name is VistaPerversion...

All of your outbound calls are automagically redirected to a tech support line in Mumbai.

Ugly as hell...

This week I had to have surgery to my eyelids to remove a couple of non cancerous growths. I've had them for awhile, but they were beginning to freak people out when they met me so I got both upper eyelids "lifted". Cleaned me up, and my eyes look normal again. (or at least they will when the swelling goes down.) My college age son busted my chops a bit and said, "dad, isn't that kind of like putting lipstick on a pig?"

Vista on an iPhone is putting a pig on a lipstick

Oh, the horror of it all. I really didn't need to see that this morning.

This is a joke right? Right?

Thanks MDN for a good laugh this morning.

They could have at least put hands on the clock.

May 20, 08 - 09:46 am Comment from: Buster

Apart from it is fugly, what moron would want it? To my knowledge, most PC users HATE Vista. I could understand it (well a little maybe) if it was XP but Vista?

This has to be a joke.

WWWHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!???

MaLvado… agreed! Far be it for me to be the Grammar Police, but how does someone let a grammatical error like that slip by??

May 20, 08 - 09:47 am Comment from: ericdano

Now you two can pretend that your Hummer is really a Hybrid. Your Porch is really a Yugo. Your Mac is really a PC.

Terrible idea.

Where's the Cancel or Allow icon?

May 20, 08 - 09:58 am Comment from: Roberto

The horror . . .the horror. . . . . .

May 20, 08 - 10:01 am Comment from: jtc

Does this come equipped with a screen saver BSOD?

May 20, 08 - 10:06 am Comment from: qka

Wash the nasty taste of fat zune boy out of your mouth:

Apple tattoo chick


Much better!

Geez, its like duct taping a Mercedes Benz hood ornament on a AMC Pacer.

Undisclosed sources say that Version 3.0 will simulate the Windows experience even more closely by generating a BSD at totally random time intervals.

Can't wait for Zune Tang's take on this one... :-D

The "Gadget-Sidebar"...
... and the Start-Menu...
... and the Task-Bar...

Wow! Brilliant joke!

"They could have at least put hands on the clock."

It's a subtle reminder that you're frozen in time. Like the anachronism of the sand hourglass in Windows.

> That crap is like taking a Mercedes-Benz C300 and bolting a Ford Taurus grill onto the front...

Make that the new Acura grill.... Or how about a Bangle butt on the tail of a Ferrari?

That's too funny!

Does it also have a BSOD?

Peace.

May 20, 08 - 10:15 am Comment from: Winston

Um, why does that thing have a "Pictures" icon and a "Photos" icon?

obcene idea.

buy some truffle, put it in a big mac.

May 20, 08 - 10:25 am Comment from: Ampar

"Or how about a Bangle butt on the tail of a Ferrari?"

With neon ground effects, curb feelers, a chain steering wheel and a faux fur interior?

i think Borat made that, for the glory of Kazachstan people !

Imagine what a joy this thing would be for actual Windows users, though.

Bob the nerd: "Seriously, Jim. The thing actually works! It hasn't frozen up on me once!"

Jim the IT guy: "That's exactly why we use Windows Mobile. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a job."

Would be funny if MS sued whoever made this on grounds of intellectual prop rights. I mean it is windows logos and crap. That would be great justice.

They really should have released this on April 1st... But as with M$ related crap... they are always late with delivery.

MDN Magic Word: figures

As in: I was always very good with math and figures. Now I am using my understanding of figures to design fanciful stuff.
