  • L3W1S360, on 05/20/2008, -44/+13I'm liking the look of this Summerboard theme. Just have to wait for the makers to add it to the Installer App =P
    • L3W1S360, on 05/20/2008, -18/+4Yes people I was being sarcastic here.. Not totally lost the plot lol. I'm a fan of Summerboard for the iPhone but this is one of the strangest ones I've seen up to now...
      • bot001220, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3It's like saying you like being raped. It's not true and it's not funny.
  • luchid, on 05/20/2008, -82/+34Not only is it ugly, tacky and overall grotesque, but the sidebar remains as useless as it is on Vista.
    • HyperJack, on 05/20/2008, -14/+20Did you think of those adjectives all on your own?
      • applemachome, on 05/20/2008, -4/+8those are common adjectives...
        • RxDaniel, on 05/21/2008, -1/+2I don't think grotesque is all that common.
    • logandurand, on 05/20/2008, -1/+19It's a theme designed purely for humor's sake, don't stress about it.
    • ProfChaosOmega, on 05/21/2008, -5/+5While I dont use Vista anymore (upgraded to XP), the sidebar was amazing. It was one of the few things I loved about Vista to be honest.
  • jjustice, on 05/20/2008, -20/+612Dugg for the headline alone =]
    • straylight08, on 05/20/2008, -13/+4Aye, it's bare jokes.
    • iamanorange, on 05/20/2008, -15/+20but can it play crysis in High detail?
      • enignock, on 05/20/2008, -16/+9No, it is still an Apple product.






        (I have an iPhone)
        • dudeguy1234, on 05/20/2008, -7/+3Apple comps can play Crysis, idiot. Look up the Mac Pro. It has a Quadro FX 5600. And iMacs have an 8800 GS. Leopard has bootcamp standard, so you can put on XP.
          Macs != bad for gaming
        • Azio, on 05/20/2008, -2/+7LOL, Quadro FX is not good enough for Crysis
      • enignock, on 05/20/2008, -1/+9Oh sorry, I didn't realize that Crysis was kicking so much ass on iMac's. I apologize for my uninformed statement.
    • Ablerank, on 05/20/2008, -11/+4"Dugg for the headline alone =]"
      - QFT
    • rpgmaker, on 05/20/2008, -3/+19It's confirmed after this: Gizmodo (and Digg for what matters) is full of Apple fanboys. I'm not sure how many people will install a Vista theme on their iPhones (not so many I bet) but the theme is very good. Is not like the Vista look is bad, by and large, it looks better than XP. The theme is good, is imitating Vista and it seemingly does a good job at it. For the record, I'm exclusively an Ubuntu user.

    • chamberlanderic, on 05/21/2008, -1/+1i will laugh that one for a week
  • Blackrites, on 05/20/2008, -32/+165The menu screen in truly awful.
    • L3W1S360, on 05/20/2008, -4/+7Yeah I agree, wonder if anyone will download this theme when it is launched? Sure know I won't be..
      • rasterbator, on 05/20/2008, -5/+6The menu screen is awful just as if Microsoft had designed it!
    • gquaglia, on 05/20/2008, -10/+3Standard MS.
    • mal1964, on 05/20/2008, -7/+2"Youtube" Lol!
    • yuanzhoulu, on 05/20/2008, -4/+8if they took out the word "Baby" it would look infinitely more professional. they should change "Slide me baby" to "Start".
    • griz, on 05/20/2008, -2/+16Main screen turn on.
    • GregFD3S, on 05/20/2008, -3/+10Seriously, who would do such a thing?
    • nullx42, on 05/20/2008, -0/+5Needs more windows classic theme
    • B08ama, on 05/21/2008, -2/+2You mean like the real thing?
  • kelvlam, on 05/20/2008, -29/+11http://digg.com/apple/Vista_on_iPhone_Yes_really and

    • ChuckIT, on 05/20/2008, -6/+9why do people point out the fact that there are the same stories on digg? honestly.
      • shawnz, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3maybe if enough people realize it's a dupe it will magically become unpopular again
    • STARTSOMETHING, on 05/20/2008, -1/+5Holy S*it theirs two of the same story!

      Thats it guys stop digging.
      • Whaines, on 05/21/2008, -1/+1Better put * in your "theirs" too; it's quite obscene.
  • happyseamonster, on 05/20/2008, -49/+245More crap from jizzmodo.
    • fani, on 05/20/2008, -7/+50Although I agree, I'd rather have this crap tech news than nothing at all.
      Seen how digg is lately ? Its almost 0 Tech/Cool news and 90% recycled from reddit or fark
      or annoying pictures from flickr of cats or rick roll youtube videos or politics non-stop from huffingtonpost.

      For this, I applaud the article for some tech news
      • championchap, on 05/20/2008, -1/+11It's a problem I've been having just recently too.
        I love digg for the site, and usually for the comments.
        But I've not actually dugg much on the front page in months.
        Went over to reddit the other day for a browse and on the front page there I saved more stories in a day than i have here in a month.

        Kevin has some splainin' to do.
        • KillPenguin, on 05/20/2008, -2/+5What does Kevin have to do with this? The only problem is the ***** stories that users are submitting/digging.
        • championchap, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1So the friends system he was pushing for that is almost entirely useless unless you're trying to game digg is not his fault?
      • Magnus150, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Can't forget the ObamaSpam. Yes we know we all love him, but come on!
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+6Seriously, what the hell is this: [Modmyifone via Just Another iPhone Blog via Technabob] ?
      • PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/21/2008, -1/+1It's called giving credit where it's due. It's up to the digger which article to digg.
    • Shaem1, on 05/20/2008, -0/+11I digging this just because you said "Jizzmodo"
  • TheWorm, on 05/20/2008, -99/+162Vista is so tastelessly glossy. It's like a bunch of guys at Microsoft sat down, and said "okay, so the problem is that XP is ugly. I know the solution, take all our old icons..only make them shiny. That will show Apple that two can play this game".
    • jabberwolf, on 05/20/2008, -41/+98YEp, because that's about the extent of Apple's ability... being glossy with less function.
    • over900000, on 05/20/2008, -14/+98And yet when Apple does it it's cool, and when Linux does it, it's the most beautiful Ubuntu theme released.
      • AirRaven, on 05/20/2008, -28/+5When *Linux* plays the "Glossy with less function" card, we call it "GNOME".
      • EruLabs, on 05/21/2008, -9/+1"Linux" doesn't "do" anything. "Linux" doesn't make any "skins".

        For the record, Ubuntu is a crippled Linux.
        • nanostream, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5Explain.
        • srg13, on 05/21/2008, -1/+1"For the record, Ubuntu is a crippled Linux."

          In what way? In that they cut down on packages to fit it on one CD? All that means is that you have to install a few packages to be able to build things...
    • brownr21, on 05/20/2008, -9/+3Glass ftw.
    • Wormfather, on 05/20/2008, -20/+9Everyone knows that apple is superior because it's easier to use and some of us know that it's easier to use because it doesnt do much...moreover, you cant do much to it.

      Apple = Pretty girl that doesnt do much in the bed
      MicroSoft = Not so hot girl that's a freak in the bed
      • Wormfather, on 05/20/2008, -9/+4Oh this all makes linux that chick that looks ghastly but loves to be tied up.

        /going to far
      • jeriqo, on 05/20/2008, -12/+11$200 you never used a Mac more than 5 minutes.
      • Archer007, on 05/20/2008, -0/+8Cue fanboy wars...
    • Archer007, on 05/20/2008, -4/+9But...its so shiny... How can you not like it?
    • TheWorm, on 05/20/2008, -7/+11I love that I can now see that 73 people dugg my comment and 59 buried it. This is heated!
    • chillypacman, on 05/21/2008, -5/+2Wherein people at Apple HQ sat down and said: 'ok so we have a new OS... let's bash Microsoft to hide the fact it's no different to the last half dozen releases we've made save for the slightly shinnier new look'.
      • srg13, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3You mean leopard? Yeah, actually, it's far less shiny than some of the earlier releases...
  • Slices, on 05/20/2008, -13/+6oh my :- |
  • GeneralLedger, on 05/20/2008, -60/+176Hah, I love it! Now I might actually buy an iPhone... (but I still won't).
    • NaziHatinChimp, on 05/21/2008, -7/+5Yeah I bet your phone is better.
  • jjeffords74, on 05/20/2008, -70/+58Are you guys kidding. Apple blows. Their PCs, Ipods and esp their notebooks...
    I have been in the IT field for years and started out on Macs but thank god i got away from them. It is so funny when people say they dont crash. I have taken a completely wiped XP and Vista box and a OSX box and done multitasking as well as other things like gaming, normal networking and the Mac crashes 10 fold over the PCs. The pinwheel of death really really sucks and it happens when doing nothing but maybe running 2 programs at once. This OSX box has 3 gigs of ram and a dual core processor. The only good thing about an applie is that it can run windows...
    • santaliqueur, on 05/20/2008, -6/+38"Started out on Macs"? This usually means you've not used a Mac in 10+ years. Any proof of the 10x more crashes? Or is this just your informal opinion? Being a fan of Microsoft is fine, but your blind hatred is beyond any Apple fanboy you will ever come across.
      • joshuagor44, on 05/20/2008, -5/+13"your blind hatred is beyond any Apple fanboy you will ever come across." I respectfully disagree
    • NeelxSarkar, on 05/20/2008, -23/+6"Are you guys kidding. Apple blows. Their PCs, Ipods and esp their notebooks."
      Believe it or not, apple doesn't make PCs
      • IHaveIssues, on 05/20/2008, -1/+19They don't make personal computers?
      • TheUngod, on 05/20/2008, -1/+11It stands for personal computer you frikkin twatball. If they're not making computers for personal use, what the hell are they making?
      • gdehms, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6Yes, in general, people call Windows machines PCs and OSX machines Macs.. but all computers are technically PCs. Don't be a bitch.
      • bjarkebech, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4I am really starting to hate the word PC losing the original meaning. Apple isn't helping unfortunately.
        • rivalius13, on 05/20/2008, -1/+19Well the true advertising would suck

          Macguy: Hi, I'm a Mac
          PCguy: Hi, I'm a PC
          Macguy: Oh, me too
          PCguy: Really?
          Macguy: Yea, we just run different operating systems
          PCguy: Ahh, pretty cool

          Apple: Think different
      • MattBD, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Yes they do. What the hell is my Dell that runs Kubuntu? That's got more in common with OS X than Windows.
    • pastasauce, on 05/20/2008, -1/+16"...as well as other things like gaming..."
      From this I know you are lying.
    • xXMetalJesusXx, on 05/20/2008, -6/+11I can smell the BS from here buddy. I have Several PC's running Vista and XP and 2 Macs both running Leopard. And my iMac dual boots ubuntu. XP crashes the most out of any...which is rare (With the exception of Vista Pre-Service Packs...which was pretty horrible to work with). My ibook has only crashed once, when my logic board got dislodged. And on my iMac 2GHz 2Gig Ram model, I can run FCP and Adobe After Effects AT THE SAME TIME. Both programs are extremely labor intensive. At the moment, I'm running 6 applications...and not even a single bit of slowdown.

      So take your fanboyism and shove it up your ass.
      • Theisos, on 05/20/2008, -0/+5"So take your fanboyism and shove it up your ass."...Heh
    • bjarkebech, on 05/20/2008, -2/+4I agree that macs don't crash less than regular PCs, but is crashing the only thing of importance with computers? I don't think so. I own both a MBP and a proper windows box for gaming. They're both wonderful machines, both with their good and bad sides. I love the mac because it has so many apps that are just so much more ingenious than their counterparts on the PC. The mac developer is typically doing it for fun, and basically willing to create the best he/she can. On the contrary there are many windows devs which just doesn't give a ***** and just make something so they can get paid on their 9-to-5. I love my windows box too, because it's a great gaming platform, you still need windows for some other apps too. I just come across that rarer and rarer. Although my mac has been crashing alot lately.
    • gdehms, on 05/20/2008, -6/+6I agree, but only to an extent, that Macs do seem to hang up more than Windows Xp computers, but that may just be me. When things in XP hang up, generally you can Control-Alt-Delete and end the program and everything will be fine. On Macs, for me at least, if a program hangs, you have to power it off manually. I used to have an ipod and it had more problems than my current Zune does (0 problems). But that too may just be my experience.
      • LeonBarrett, on 05/20/2008, -4/+6Are you having a laugh!! The amount of times I have hit Control-Alt-Delete and ***** all has happened is beyond belief. A few times the Task Manager crashed. This is due to the ***** kernel in Windows. No OS is perfect, but give me 10.5 any day!!

        Try hitting Force Quit on a Mac, and it does just that, not pretends as is the case of XP.

        I can't comment on Vista as I didn't waste my money buying it,
      • firstpost, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3Ever tried command-option-escape to force quit?
        Works at least as often as the Task Manager in windows.
    • gormlens, on 05/20/2008, -8/+1God has a capital letter
      • Whaines, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2god dammit, you're one of those people that capitalizes "him" too, eh?
      • Diderotten, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2How do you know he's talking about a christian god?
    • jabberwolf, on 05/20/2008, -10/+1Just about ANYTHING can run windows. OSX locked down to someone's highly marked up priced hardware.
    • dondara, on 05/20/2008, -0/+5Liar. "I don't know how to work something, it must suck." I bet you have trouble with lots of things. Doorknobs, light switches etc.
    • homercles337, on 05/20/2008, -11/+5Youre just going to be buried with all the macophiles around here. I also have quite a bit of experience with OSX and think its a really inferior product to windows. Im also a gamer so, to me, the choice is obvious. For the mactards, well they will continue to see through their ***** colored glasses and smile. Poor bastards.

      Ok, now bury me...
      • counterplex, on 05/20/2008, -0/+10Buried for 'mactards'. That one word threw your entire (already limited) argument away. Learn to argue your case properly and maybe some day someone will listen :)
        • jetsetter883, on 05/21/2008, -2/+1let's just call them what they are: Mac Retards.
    • jetsetter883, on 05/21/2008, -5/+1well i agree with you sir. but you will never ever ever be met without opposition from unrelenting Mactards. they're only screwing themself though, by using a toy as a computer.
  • canthraxp, on 05/20/2008, -14/+88Someone throw some eggs at the guy who did this. Not that I like the iPhone or hate vista, but oversized 3d icons on a small screen it's not pleasant, at all.
    • L3W1S360, on 05/20/2008, -1/+8Yeah i agree with you on that one the icons are far too big for a screen the size of the iPhones. It looks kind of cluttered.
    • LoudMusic, on 05/20/2008, -4/+1But the icons have to be somewhat large in order to hit them with your finger or thumb.
      • zzz@tkz, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3Not..uhh..true? My icons are 14 pt. font, "Apps" Mail" &c., and I can hit them just fine.
      • Dylson, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4They don't have to be that large, though.
    • yuanzhoulu, on 05/20/2008, -1/+1just send him to Budapest.
    • Firehed, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2From a usability standpoint, you want the large icons. Granted these are large to the point of just wasting space, but you don't want tiny ones either (a serious problem on the touchscreen WinMobile monstrosity I played with once in one of the cell phone stores)
    • Tollboi, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1here he (or maybe she) is, throw some eggs yourself.

  • valis, on 05/20/2008, -9/+19I think that Jobs is much more likely to be smiling serenely. If it makes for more happy Apple hardware owners ... then it's booyah all the way to the bank.
    • KibibyteBrain, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1He'd be celebrating another iPhone gone out of warranty, thereby statistically increasing Apple's return margin on the sale.
  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/20/2008, -54/+180"VistaPerfection"??? Buried as Inaccurate.
    • mrgreenjeans9, on 05/20/2008, -5/+45buried as impossible
    • jabberwolf, on 05/20/2008, -21/+7Vista is perfect! (ok well nothing really is but it's close)

      Appletards can try to bash something they've never used but now that more and more people use vista, they can tell why they are called appletards.

      • Dylson, on 05/20/2008, -3/+10More and more people use vista because the machines they buy at the store have it pre installed. People aren't buying vista by its self.
      • championchap, on 05/20/2008, -4/+9It's close?
        So I guess I'm just imagining the BSoD I get every time I try to use it for more than 5 minutes?

        Some elements of it I prefer to XP, some elements of it I hate and wish they'd left well enough alone. (from experienceing it on my brothers laptop)
        Overall though I still prefer my girlfriends MacBook, buying an iMac soon I think.

        Linux is a tricky one, when it's up and running I love it. But it's still a bit fiddly. Ubuntu is taking it in the right direction.
        Their glossy themes do tend to look a bit ***** though.
        • nmnnotmyname, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1I had that Vista problem O_o I think it has to do with updating and using NVidia drivers, It would be painfully ironic to think that Microsoft had no part in the driver API breaking in such a manner...

          Linux can be really cool... No matter what happens though, to get it set up ideally you have to do some work. While some like Ubuntu, I and others prefer a different style. I'd work on my own distro but I don't have the time atm... Plus, I can't write a reliable package manager.
      • zzz@tkz, on 05/20/2008, -2/+5I use Vista, and I hate it, but Hardy Heron ***** up my display driver, and I'm in the process of updating Fedora to current. And I'm getting a Macbook in a couple of months, which I'll dual boot Vista and OS X.

        What do I win?
      • MacParrot, on 05/20/2008, -1/+6Vista is perfect???? Wow, and you call US fanboys. I'm glad you like Vista. Lot's of other people do too and that's just fine. However glossing over some of the problems that Vista has had means I really wouldn't want to be in the same car with you driving. I mean the blinders and everything.
      • PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3Jokes on you, I've run Vista on my laptop for weeks but I've had so much trouble with getting things working that my desktop is staying XP for a while.
      • cli006, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2I tried Vista but quickly upgraded back to XP.

        You should do the same.
    • PabloMac, on 05/20/2008, -6/+6Contradiction in terms.
    • kdamp, on 05/20/2008, -0/+15Oxymoron.
    • theOster, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6i think that's the joke...maybe *i'm* the dumb one though...
      • EwigRomanze, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1No, I am pretty sure it is supposed to be funny.
    • tyywebb, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Tongue in cheek.
    • bot001220, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2What do you prefer, VistaPerversion?

      (actually that's not that bad)
    • oatmeals, on 05/21/2008, -3/+1Hello everyone, I will be your tour guide today.

      If you look upwards, you can see the bandwagon of Vista haters. Look at how comfortable they are in their natural habitat. Kindly turn off your flash when taking photos. Their eyes have adapted to the dark by spending extended lengths of times in their mother's basement. Do not under any circumstance provoke them by mentioning anything about Microsoft.

      They have rabies.
      • KibibyteBrain, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3Just because someone hates Vista hardly implies they hate MS. Most of such people statistically would use XP. Stereotypes about computer users are horrible. Like, most Mac users run MS office as far as I can tell, so even if they don't like Windows(a lot of them do) they still elect to use some Microsoft products.
        The stereotype of the irrational mac user should die anyway. Its not OS 8 lacking true multitasking or other such flaws that make using MacOS over windows an absurd proposition only a fundamentalist would resort to. MacOSX is a modern OS with all the modern types of kernel features any other OS has. The rest is down to the software you need to run and taste.
    • GratefulGroover, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Thats about as accurate as "Microsoft Works"
  • whataboutdave, on 05/20/2008, -21/+13WHY GOD WHY
    • kelty1980, on 05/20/2008, -18/+4Cause it is the only way to make an apple work and get there crappy OS off, Too bad its only a skin and not the real thing :(
  • Aereo, on 05/20/2008, -11/+42I'm not gonna lie.....it's kinda ugly.

    The lock screen looks awesome with the black glass from the original iPhone theme, though. It seems almost legit.
    • MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/21/2008, -6/+1It doesn't matter what it looks like. Mac fans will hate it anyway. Maybe it really does suck...

      But if they took the default iPhone theme, called it Vista theme, there would be people cursing it as ugly all the same.

      A lot of people here will hate it for reasons other than visual appeal.
  • macweirdo42, on 05/20/2008, -18/+23But can those tears cure cancer?
  • rinote, on 05/20/2008, -21/+32WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?
    • CaptEnder, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6It's found out how far your heart rate jumps after getting hit in the 'nads with a tennis ball.
    • Whaines, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Look at me: still talking
      when there's science to do!
      When I look out there,
      it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
  • KnightMareInc, on 05/20/2008, -21/+4I want an iphone now.
  • JedicodeWarrior, on 05/20/2008, -19/+26"iPhone Vista Theme Makes Steve Jobs Cry Tears Of Blood"
    I would pay money to see that.
    • Goblin, on 05/20/2008, -1/+15I know some people hold Jobs in an almost religious reverence, but turning him into a blood-weeping effigy may be taking it a little far.
  • MessiR10, on 05/20/2008, -25/+5STUPID mac fanboys will cry in their sleep while jerking off to their macbook air
  • SenorBudd, on 05/20/2008, -16/+1PMS out of his eyes? Nothing new there. So what?
  • alpha_male76, on 05/20/2008, -18/+9Thats Right! Go ahead and cry Steve Jobs!
    Your tears sustain me.
  • missmorgie, on 05/20/2008, -7/+54Dugg for "Whyyyphone" tag.
  • protium, on 05/20/2008, -21/+4Any idea how to make jobs bleed some more?


    Bury me fanboys.
    • Dylson, on 05/20/2008, -2/+6I didn't bury you because I am a fanboy, but because you are an idiot. Good day.
  • mixxo, on 05/20/2008, -29/+11If you are silly enough to waste money on an overpriced phone that will not even hold half of what a regular ipod will.....well, you figure out the rest......
    • deaftly, on 05/20/2008, -5/+10I just got a 8 gig for $250 from AT&T. My phone before it was a blackjack, I can honestly say that the iphone is one the best pieces of technology Ive ever seen.
      • fflis, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2howd you do that?
        • deaftly, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3They had a refurb special, the phone looks brand new, not even a scratch.
    • closer9, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4Lets try some math:

      8GB iPod Nano + Comparable Smart Phone
      $199.00 + $300.00 = $500.00

      OR

      iPhone - $400
  • TremorX, on 05/20/2008, -7/+15That's not a reaction specific to Steve Jobs, but to all who gaze upon it.

    "Slide Me Baby" ? Really?
  • jjhuddle, on 05/20/2008, -21/+24Where is the Blue Screen of Death though?
    • bigsped, on 05/20/2008, -4/+13There's actually an app in installer called Vista that, after installation, displays the BSOD when touched.
    • JamesMorris, on 05/20/2008, -6/+12It's with the huge array of Mac games... OH ***** WAIT :O
    • rodrigo74, on 05/20/2008, -3/+8Vista is crap, but in all fairness, I haven´t seen a BSOD on it yet; haven´t seen many after using XP for 5 years or so, either, just once while trying to open a corrupt virtual machine on MS Virtual PC.
    • halobender, on 05/20/2008, -3/+11Right next to the forever spinning beach ball.
    • SLockhart, on 05/20/2008, -2/+3I've been working with windows for over 15 years and I've yet to see this so called BSOD.
      • zanderscoffee, on 05/21/2008, -2/+5You know we mean the windows operating system not actual glass windows, right?
      • RogerStrong, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3I *did* see a BSOD a little over a year ago - the first one I'd seen in several years. The problem was third-party USB-to-Serial Port driver.

        Then my Vista upgrade CDs arrived, and with along with that I was able to install the Vista version of the driver. It's worked fine ever since.

        Our Win2000 file/mail/backup/app server has been running for 7 years and has never crashed. Our Win2003 server has been running for two years and did once have a stuck process, but no crashes.
      • avihappy, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1One time I had my XP Install CD BSOD on me while trying to show the main license agreement. I got around it by making a slipstreamed, unattended install disk with nLite.
    • GratefulGroover, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1I use the Blue Screen as a screen saver on my Linux machine. When people see it the reaction is great. It's usually a mixture of tears, violent shaking, and uncontrollable urination.
  • RudeCommentGuy, on 05/20/2008, -15/+17I have nothing against this except for the word "Perfection". A Microsoft Product and "Perfect" should never be in the same sentence. Unless, of course, it's in a negative form.
  • nick2, on 05/20/2008, -7/+23Wow, this looks really dumb. Hate how they cluttered the screen with 500 oversized icons.
  • Rauby, on 05/20/2008, -14/+111Do you have to press 3 times OK and Accept after sliding, to unlock the phone?
    • DomZy, on 05/20/2008, -0/+13It probably unlocks by itself at random intervals
    • nmnnotmyname, on 05/20/2008, -0/+10Microsoft could make it unlock at any given point and time
    • SolidSnak, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2Yes.
    • Gndoab, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6no, however you do need to type your password in twice.
      • minigamer1896, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Using a KVM that you hopefully have laying around, as the screen isn't "authorized" to run DRM'd items.
    • MasterThief117, on 05/21/2008, -0/+10"You have selected 'Unlock iPhone' Are you sure you want to continue?"
    • zongamin, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Insert repeat of same joke here.
  • bigsped, on 05/20/2008, -13/+5Whoever did this did it better than Microsoft would have.
  • OneManArmy, on 05/20/2008, -13/+6dat ***** is lame
  • mjones77, on 05/20/2008, -8/+2Thats just wrong.....
  • JasonCox, on 05/20/2008, -12/+5It's close enough to Vista already, thanks though.
  • hackntossh, on 08/27/2008, -8/+8very clever. invokes my gag reflex but a clever integration of the sidebar and taskbar.
  • randyFlagg, on 05/20/2008, -10/+3lipstick on a pig
  • tbranham, on 05/20/2008, -14/+158It looks like you are trying to make a call. Accept or Deny.
    • webcrumb, on 05/20/2008, -2/+38Call disconnected. Abort, retry, fail?
      • MortalynFlux, on 05/20/2008, -2/+13A fatal exception occurred while trying to handle two calls at the same time. To help protect your phone, Vista has disconnected you from 1-976-HOT-GIRLS. We have created an error report and sent it to Microsoft automatically for your convenience.
      • tyywebb, on 05/21/2008, -2/+1fail
    • nj74, on 05/20/2008, -7/+5literal LOL on this comment.
    • PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/21/2008, -8/+5In all seriousness, "It looks like you are receiving a call, Accept or Deny" has been in phones since the start.
  • pdarg, on 05/20/2008, -8/+3i want it

  • WCL23, on 05/20/2008, -12/+3And now a music video starring Rick Astley: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
  • xXMetalJesusXx, on 05/20/2008, -3/+8I downloaded it for my ipod touch, because I enjoy OSX and Vista...but the theme itself isn't overly great. It looks to much like an imitation of the OS, and not the OS itself. It's the same for the Tiger Theme.
    • SealandRes1, on 05/21/2008, -1/+1Of course it's an imitation of the OS, you can't run vista on your itouch
      • xXMetalJesusXx, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1..........are you being serious? Really.....common now.
  • SoIcanDigg, on 05/20/2008, -12/+3I have a Vista Ultimate theme on my Playstation 3.

    Doubt it will be on anything else though (unless I get an iphone).
  • VinceNoir, on 05/20/2008, -16/+18Sure. Go ahead and put Nascar stickers all over your Nissan Sentra. Still won't make it a race car. And... it will make you look retarded.
    • samgab, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Sure. Go ahead and put Lada badges on your BMW. People will still think you're a bit odd...
    • enjourni, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Only one sticker belongs on your car and it's the white Apple sticker.
  • jonerikandersen, on 05/20/2008, -17/+4bury'd for vista.
  • pablis2010, on 05/20/2008, -3/+23A "Pictures" and "Photos" folders? 1 for regular pixs, the other one for porn?
    http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/vistaiphone/100154 ...
    • Angostura, on 05/20/2008, -0/+10Not to mention a control panel and a 'settings' icon.
      • jeriqo, on 05/20/2008, -2/+3Well, that's ont of the things that get me away from windows. You never know where to find things.
        Control Panel, settings, options, advanced.. where the ***** is it?
    • qumiku, on 05/20/2008, -1/+0Aah!
      comment from the site: "Well, as an example, technically a screenshot is a picture but it is not a photo..."

      Now you know :P



      • nmnnotmyname, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2...the moar u know?
        hrm... I'd say you could just put photos in the picture folder...
  • jabberwolf, on 05/20/2008, -15/+8Whats funny, is you can have Apple graphics on a PC too !
    Aww the love of having something open !!
    And loving the fact that Steve has no control over this.
    • theurge14, on 05/20/2008, -1/+4Windows is open? Sorry I did not get that memo.
      • Ramble, on 05/20/2008, -4/+4It's a lot more open than any Apple product.
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/21/2008, -2/+1It's not open source but 99% of the API's are publicly available, many of the sttings and files are customizable, and of course it runs pretty much everything.
    • MacParrot, on 05/20/2008, -1/+5If someone wants to put Windows graphics on an iPhone it usually means they have purchased one. Jobs is happy and most likely really doesn't care what you do with it afterwards. As far as "open" goes, it's too bad you can't change any of the graphics that comes on a Mac to anything you want...darn it, you can. If you mean something else (like the ever so tired graphics card argument) then you should have said so instead of sounding foolish...oh wait, it's jabby, never mind.
    • SolidSnak, on 05/20/2008, -1/+3I'm not even going to say it. Just look at my profile picture to the left.
      • samgab, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1You're a penguin? And you've been drinking! Penguins can't fly!!
  • theundone, on 05/20/2008, -1/+4mostly ugly but I have been wanting to change more of the theme than just the icons and dock. it's kind of cool to see that it's at least doable.
  • hauntedchippy, on 05/20/2008, -8/+3Steve Jobs crying gives me wood
  • Mon1153, on 05/20/2008, -8/+4dear jesus that's disgusting
