How bored must Apple's designers be? "Hey, we've got a great idea for a new Apple product. Let's make it purple! And with a felt coating! Maybe with fluoro stripes! It'll rock! Oh, you want it white plastic again? OK, sure, we can do that. White plastic. Great. Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite plastic. Sigh."

In a fit of rebellion, I predict the designers will come up with an iPhone made of cheese. Here's my vision of what that would look like: it's made of iDam.

Cheese is delicious. There's no better way to sell more iPhones than make them out of yummy yummy edible cheese.

Zdnet is sssssoooooooo ANTI Microsoft Anonymous -- 08/06/08

pathetic really. Infact who still gets blue screens? Shows how out of touch Zdnets editors are.

But I suppose they have Macs and bag Microsoft without using it. You guys are loosing respect pretty quick.

with all the non-news rumor and speculation, this blog is a laugh and a nice change.

keep up the great work Jo

A barrel of laughs Lord Watchdog -- 08/06/08 (in reply to #320103580)

Yes, it's so funny seeing a phone with a BSOD.

Seriously, I've seen BSODs in lifts, at Central Railway Station, on my old computer when it ran Win 95, etc etc etc. But is it funny? No. It's droll.

If this crap excites you then fair enough but it isn't everyone's cuppa tea.

aint one bit funny Anonymous -- 09/06/08 (in reply to #320103580)

Lets think about it, your the loser if you find this funny.

great humour zdnet =)

Iphone runs OSX do not even mention Windows Anonymous -- 01/07/08

OSX rarely gets any form of bsod & whilst XP gets the odd one it does get apps that can't be shut down this is a fact that Windows users experience on a daily basis.

On OSX you can go into activity monitor & exit any app, if it's a critical app it will warn you before you quit it otherwise it's a breeze, also if it does'nt go quietly you can force quit it this a far cry from XP where usually a bad app will bring down the WHOLE MACHINE.

Funny My man Funny Phil -- 03/07/08

Oh yes the blue screen of death, the screen that every Windows user would have seen some time or another...... Go the Iphone, go Apple go OSX down with everything Windows
