This is just too much.  I’d love to meet the person stupid enough to pay for this.

They immersed the Jesus phone in a pool of real swarovski crystals and more than 3000 Tiny SS7 swarovski crystals were individually affixed to the iPhone. You can choose your blinged Jesus phone in many patterns and colors at Crystal Icing for $295.

It’s not a secret that I think the iPhone is a complete waste of money but I am a fan of the idea of being able to do what you want with what you pay good money for.  I guess Jon Lech Johansen’s hack makes it so that you can use everything on the phone except the phone.

Apple’s UK Store leaks some information which suggests that 8-Core Mac Pros are coming soon.

When searching for “Mac” in the UK Apple Store, the listing for the Mac Pro is:

Mac Pro

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but I am a little.  Target has started to sell “Pre-Owned” iPods.  I guess it’s a good way of getting a 80gb 5th generation ipod for $320 but it gets me wondering if their gonna start selling used socks and underwear next.
