The Trailer for ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ is released. They are doing a really good job of only keeping this video on Apple.com so here is the Link to the trailer.

Just from the artwork above they already took this movie to the next level graphically. It is nice to see another movie taking a VERY common childhood memory and turning it into something enjoyable to adults and children.

Many people expect it, and it will hit theaters on October 16th 2009. Directed by Spike Jonze. Photo from USAtoday.

Feast your eyes on Andrew Matusik’s ‘Sir Realist’ editorial inspired my surrealist extraordinaire Rene Magritte. It’s so refreshing, artistic, genius, surreal, I want to frame it.

Fun fact. Did you know that Paul McCartney, a life-long fan of Magritte who owns many of his paintings, claims that a Magritte painting inspired him to use the name Apple for the Beatles’ media corporation? I know, totally amaaazing right?

The editorial was created for the Genlux winter issue, you can see moooooooore right here.

Need a new pair of sunglasses? Looking for an 80’s pair that screams “I love Microsoft and don’t care if I look like Billy Joel’s grundle”?

What you’re seeing is the only pair of 1980’s Hot Green Microsoft sunglasses around! A reliable source said these were only given to a handful of employees and every pair has been broken or lost over time… Except for these! These sunglasses were in use while Microsoft Office (word, excel, etc) was created and released! These bright sunglasses were the reason for many bright attitudes during the rise of Microsoft, and those bright attitudes might be the only reason for Microsoft’s success. These hot green shades were making a fashion statement on a desk at Microsoft while stocks split and and the company developed! These magical sunglasses deserve thanks for many things, without them the world might not have developed into the world we know and love today. Enough can’t be said about the history and importance of these very special sunglasses.

Yep. Bidding starts at 3,000 and the auction ends in 12 hours, so you better get on it. Or, if you want, I’ll sell you an iconic Apple hat. It’s a real apple hot-glued to a Red Sox cap! Use the ‘Buy It Now’ option and I’ll throw in a watermelon bong. I’m a fruit freak!

Hit the jump for two more pictures (in case you don’t know what {content}.60 80’s glasses look like) and a link to the auction.

Tris, the free version of Tetris for the iPhone that we loved (’cause it was free!) is being pulled from the App Store. Apparently, The Tetris Company called up Apple and it no likey. Its creator, Noah Witherspoon says that while he thinks their copyright claim is thin—and would be thinner still if he called it “Trys”—he doesn’t really have the resources to fight it in court, so he’s removing it from the store on Wednesday. Download it while you can folks! Another depressing reminder why we need the iPhone app black market. [Two Finger Play - Sorry Noah!]

On collaborations I didn’t see coming… Courvoisier is going all out on their new Exclusif Cognac! Including a multi-city tour (LA, SF, Houston, Miami, NY) this spring to show off an exclusive line designed by urban/skate brand LRG, inspired by Courvoisier… including a Napoleon Rubberband Jacket.

Ok, but seriously, we both know that’s not why I’m posting this. What grabbed me is that they even customized some limited edition gadgetry - iPhones, Blackberries, and iPods to be specific, and I’m surprised, but I’m kind of loving the the napoleonic/spy logo thing thats going on, and while orange isn’t usually my color, this shade is kind of interesting on electronics… check out more sneak peeks after the jump!

Forget that tired old manila envelope joke, a new case by a company called Boa may just be the snuggest, sleekest wrapper for your MacBook Air. The Fashion Sleeve is plush-lined and offers what Boa calls “minimalist protection.” At just .65mm thin, it’s allegedly the thinnest Airbook case on the market. After seeing the pic, though, Gizmodo theorized we could go thinner still by slipping a (large) condom over the thing.

So, it works. Kind of. Seven failed attempts, largely punctured by the Air’s surprisingly sharp edges (plus occasional clumsiness with fingertips during stretching), one successful try achieving a maximum coverage of 30% of the laptop. That’s from a standard European condom, mind you. You may still want to experiment at home with some Magnums.

And now we really need a Boa case to wipe all that icky lubricant from the Air’s outsides: Its synthetic micro-knitted fibers will wipe the aluminum clean of fingerprints and dust (hopefully lube, too) as you slide it in and out. See guys? We suffer for you, we really do. Anyway, the Boa Fashion Sleeve is available now for $30 each, in a choice of 21 spring-theme colors with more colors available in the summer. [via Gizmodo]

The problem with most iPhone cases is that, by and large, they have to keep the screen clear so you can use it. A touchscreen isn’t much good with something blocking it, after all. But that’s not the case with the Ivyskin Xylo T2: it’s got a hard shell on the iPhone touch panel that you can use the touchscreen right through.

It’s not clear what kind of magic technology is used here, but you really can’t go wrong if you’re looking to protect your precious, precious iPhone and don’t want to spend more than $35 in the process. Check out the product page if you are interested. [via Dvice]
