There’s a joke in there somewhere, but I can’t find it.
That’s HOT!
It’s another flaming hot Apple product! Market reception should really turn up the gas on this baby. Sizzling!
The new iStove: It can Cook
It’s a portable. It is better than a real iPhone.
You can’t cook dinner on an iPhone. You can even cook where there is no cell coverage. Try making an iPhone call without cell coverage?
The Android stove has 5″ burners, right BLN?
The joke would be that the stove was manufactured by … Proview Electronics.
-hh
Whoever ripped this off probably doesn’t know English, and doesn’t know that the name of the company isn’t, “iphone.”
You know what; it’s been years since Apple made a keyboard with an open-Apple key. Let ’em have it. I would know to not hold it up to my face and make phone calls.
The characters on the right say Ping Guo (Apple).
Jumping’ Jack Flash, it’s a………
(@Cold: glad to help)
Aw! I want one!
I burned my ear with one of these. Some bugger called me up while I was frying some noodles.
=:~)
Burned the other ear when they called back?
So, where do we line up for one?
This is perfect for ‘gas-bags’.
Especially designed for flame wars!
My father bought one, yesterday. It’s a good stove, shame it isn’t Apple.
Kind of looks like an Apple IIc vintage font there for the “iphone” lettering, nice touch.
Timmy (the Cook) mentioned something about new products that will blow your mind … I just never imagined a stove top.
I heard that since the iStove has been announced, Google are now redesigning their planned stove.
Apple trademark police; hard at work.
See Apple is creating more jobs in China. 🙂
Second look – Branded as (Apple) iPhone – oh – not iStove?
Either the silkscreen kid was goofing around – or –
a case similar to getting a tattoo of asian characters; clueless to the meaning. Just wondering. Was this done intentionally?
AppeleiPhone-branded gas stove confiscated in China
Apple iPhone – branded gas burner.
Aah…the most succinct cooking app yet! 🙂
I nominate this article for The Surreal World Award of 2012.
Can it get more weird in 2012? Well, there is that ‘end of the world’ thing on December 21st. That’s going to be a contender!
For those interested, the award for 2011 went to Reverend Campling for his two failed predictions of ‘the end of the world,’ in both May and October. No Rapture for you Reverend. 😉
Thinking about this further, it struck me that maybe something is happening in the world that we had not expected. Let’s review some history:
1) Nixon visits China in 1972, shakes hands with Mao. The Slave Wage Labor Movement becomes a glint in they eye of The Corporate Oligarchy.
2) In 1998 China was given ‘Most Favored Nation’ status by the Clinton Administration. The ball was rolling. The Corporate Oligarchy began to abandon the USA and move their manufacturing to China. The public spin statements explained this situation as an opportunity to transform China into a democracy via capitalism.
3) Later in 1998, China’s government began the consolidation and employment of what became the Red Hacker Alliance for the purpose of hacking all world government computers, especially those of the USA. China’s motto became “The Rest Of The World Are Suckers.”
3) In 2007 the effects of The Corporate Oligarchy treating everyone as suckers resulted in The Subprime Mortgage Crisis, erupting worldwide into ‘The Great Recession’ of 2008. Capitalism effectively died, transformed by the Corporate Oligarchy into socialist Corporate Welfare.
So, here we are today with the attitude of China, not the USA, having transformed the world. China has not moved any closer to democracy. It remains the hub of crime, abuse of human rights and totalitarian dictatorship it has consistently been since ‘The Great Cultural Revolution’ occurred. Meanwhile, the rest of the world has been transformed into China where everyone is abused by their government, the world has increasingly become a totalitarian police state, human rights have been consistently curtailed and removed, and everyone is treated as a sucker begging to be sucked dry by the parasitic party leaders.
IOW: The tables were turned. Oops. No democracy for China, just mutant bastard communization for the rest of the world. The Chinese win.
Just a thought! 😀
Oops. Sorry! I lost the ability to count tonight. 1, 2, 3, 3, no 4…
The last 10 years have been the most spectacular for Apple! It’s been a highlight of my life to see Apple succeed after years of being kicked around in the media and word of mouth of associates. The products they’ve produced have been magical transformations for me. The stronger Apple grows the better we all will be.
+1 … I had been thinkin something similar to this diatribe.
Well said!
I think they just got burned.
Ebay!!!!!!
A not so subtle message to Android…”if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
it’s a new app-liance.
