Restoring Apple supremacy (in the house)

Whoomp! There it is..

     

Apple iPhone 4 has been released almost a month in Sydney, and I still had to wait in a 45-minute line to get one the other day. Seriously, the amount of love it's getting with the animosity on the internets just doesn't add up for me. I'm in the line of argument that the whole antenna-gate was blown totally out of proportion and the moment the opportunity to strike against Apple presented itself, people pounced. There's many Apple-haters out there, no doubt, but don't count out the loyal customers who keep coming back to Apple because, above all, quality speaks for itself. And after trying out Windows Mobile 6.5, Android 2.1 and Symbian S60 smartphones since my iPhone 3GS, I'm finally back on the Apple bandwagon. And it feels like home.

Most amazing soccer assist ever?

This is silly, but I've documented the best penalty kick ever, best goal celebration ever, second best goal celebration ever and worst missed goal ever. It's now time to check out the most amazing soccer assist ever, a one-two passing set up by French Le Havre AC footballers Hassan Alla and Brice Jovial.

The story here is of course that insane behind-the-back kick pass by Alla. And believe it or not, I've done that once. In FIFA 10 on the Xbox 360.

Sci-fi eye test

This is as geeky as it can get, lo and behold: the sci-fi eye chart!

Part optometrist’s chart, part geek quiz and part typography nerd poster, this Sci-fi Eye Test features 36 letters pulled from the logos of games, comics and movie titles. We dare you to try and guess them all.

I could only identify 4 titles correctly, but that's just me: I'm not geeky. [via]

Eye craters

Entitled 'Your Beautiful Eyes', photographer Suren Manvelyan created a series of stunning macro shots of eyes that show details like nothing I've ever seen before.

     

Kinda reminds me of a lunar crater. [via]
