Calvin Harris vs. Chris Brown

Posted: September 30th, 2010 | Author: Justin Robinson | Filed under: Music, Top Areas | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

Calharris
Well I just went and looked at @CalvinHarris’ Twitter to see what he said about @ChrisBrown and I guess C.Breezy and Crew didn’t get permission to use the Tune featured in Breezy’s new song “Yeah x3″. There are UK fans Angry saying that the American international Star has ripped off the local UK star Calvin Harris’ song I’m not alone.  When I saw this I was thinking it was just fans being angry, and I was partially correct. It wasn’t the UK fans that I had a (big) problem with it was the Chris Brown Fans that were defending the obvious close to identical tune. Both sides are a little to angry for my taste because unless they are making money, a family member, friend or had something to do with the song, they have no reason to be so mad. Have a conversation and not an argument about it. But from the picture above coming straight From Calvin’s mouth (twitter). To listen for yourself Check out this Link >> The Comparison After listening to this and seeing the Tweets From Calvin Harris, if it wasn’t Chris’ fault there must defiantly be some foul play on the producers part. I mean I could be wrong but that is my take on it.

iRetrofone Steampunk turns your iPhone into an oldie but goodie

Posted: September 30th, 2010 | Author: Charles West | Filed under: Design, Mobile | Tags: , , | No Comments »

This design is really cool not just because of it’s throwback type of rotary phone look but the fact that it blends the iPhone into it’s design without having the iPhone standout in a way that outshines the overall look.

Fusing art with function seems to be the aim of artist Scott Freeland with this creation. All of these modeled designs are hand-sculpted, hand-cast in urethane resin and then hand-painted. Merging an old-fashioned grandma like handset and a fully functional iPhone dock complete with USB compatibility for syncing and charging, is simply genius.

Get yours for $350 on Etsy.

PNC Bank drops the ball with Android

Posted: September 29th, 2010 | Author: Justin Robinson | Filed under: Android, Mobile | Tags: , , , , , | 5 Comments »


Today I went on PNC’s fairly new Mobile site to check my account balance and noticed that there was another button on the bottom of the screen that said “Download the PNC Mobile App for your Android device” I was excited that would at least be a standalone app. After I downloaded the app and it finished installing I opened it to find that it was nothing but the mobile site. The devs should be ashamed of their selves. iPhone has the Virtual Wallet app that I so desperately had wanted for my T-Mobile G1 back when Android was first released and I got Virtual Wallet. I knew that having Virtual Wallet right in my pocket would be PERFECT! To the point I would pay up to $5 to have it (Which I paid for the Android banking app and Kept because it was a standalone application that also included support for other banks), BUT it is FREE on iPhone and the Android users get stuck with the mobile browser site. Hopefully we will see the Virtual Wallet app for android will come soon enough and possibly even REPLACE the PNC Back (Mobile Site) App.

A Nike Air Force One wedding cake

Posted: September 27th, 2010 | Author: Charles West | Filed under: Design, Sneakers | Tags: , , , | 3 Comments »

Who said wedding planning wasn’t for guys? A New York designer named Erica De La Fé, was tapped to turn one of Nike’s most iconic shoes into a grooms cake for a guy who certainly loves Air Force Ones. Apparently, the lady who designed this cake had never designed a sneaker cake before but with work like this you definitely have to tip your cap and give props. It’s said that when the groom set this cake on the table he was asked by some people at the wedding why he had a sneaker sitting on a box, completely unaware that sneaker, and it’s box, were 100% edible and made from red velvet cake with Baileys butter-cream filling.

If you want to check out Erica’s work along with her company go to their site Cake Obsessions

A pizza cutter shaped as the Star Trek Enterprise

Posted: September 22nd, 2010 | Author: Charles West | Filed under: Design | Tags: , , | No Comments »

This is such a great design and idea that I had to share this with you fans of creative design and of course you Trekies. I’m just surprised that this design wasn’t out a little earlier but never the less it’s available now and you can purchase it here.

But I have to say I’m not the biggest Star Trek fan but I would definitely have no problem sporting this in my kitchen.
