Communications Major

The birth of the iPhone. It was just a mere six years ago and it changed everything. 

Last night, millions of Californians who sleep next to their mobile phone were woken up by an Amber Alert, While this article says I'm a horrible person for shutting off any future Amber alerts on my iPhone (I had no idea it was activated in the first place), consider this: the Amber Alert that woke California has not led to capture of the kidnapper. It also might be put to better use if it was activated only in the vicinity of where the child abduction has occurred. Waking people 500 miles away was pretty pointless and has only resulted in a people calling each other names on message boards all day.

Teach your children well. A mom gave her 13-year-old son an iPhone for Christmas. But before he could even turn it on, she had him sign this 18-point agreement on the conditions of use, such as always answer it when the caller is "Mom" or "Dad", turn it off in public and remember, who is paying the monthly fees (Mom).

Have you ever been sitting at home, watching the latest episode of Generic Sitcom, and during the commercial break you see all these political ads making wild claims and strong assertions? Well, get your iPhone out...

Its premise is simple. You throw your phone in the air as high as you can. Your phone's gyroscopes and doo-dads calculate how high you threw it, and record your score on SMTH's leader boards. (The current top score is 40 meters, apparently.)

Steve Jobs has apparently inspired art just as much as he's inspired tech. Look no further than this newly created, freakish sculpture of the Apple CEO himself which, believe it or not, was made of trash collected from Jobs' residential garbage bins.
