Mark Malkoff : Apple Store Challenge

Here is a funny short video where Mark Malkoff tests how far Apple Store will let you go.

Things that he tried and got away with are:

Pizza delivery.
Romantic date.
Darth Vader iPhone repair.
Bring in a pet goat.

That’s pretty cool. The biggest surprise for me though is not with Apple Store, but with that pizza delivery service. If it wasn’t the crew, then I am pretty impressed. I’ve never heard of pizza being delivered to a visitor of a shop. But then again, I’m sure many services exist in the States that don’t in Cyprus.

P.S.: I wish it was on YouTube. It would have made so much easier to embed. I tried the code that is on the site, but it doesn’t work for some reason with my blog. And I’m too lazy to look into it.

First day of summer

Fake Science blog has been my personal source of inspiration and discovery for a while now. Today they’ve helped me discover yet another metric – hot summer enthusiasm. Spot on!

Pineapple Ananas

A friend shared with me this image today. Pineapple. In every language it is called ananas. But on in English. Funny.

Terminator in PHP

I’ve mentioned a few times in this blog that one particular bit I love about open source software is humor in documentation. While most commercial applications stick to a strict, official language in their manuals, open source developers often expose their humane side with jokes, references to movies, television shows and so on.

Today I came across yet another example of that. Not strictly in a software manual, but close enough. Here is a partial screenshot of a comment on PHP.net website, page about get_object_vars() function.

A well places Terminator references – how cool is that!
