Black iPhoneA few weeks ago I dropped my iPhone on the kitchen floor and cracked the glass. I was extremely disappointed and shared my feelings on Twitter.

But then Oscar Kneppers came up with a beautiful plan. I’m not going into all the details here because I want to leave that to Bright Magazine but it involved Mark Hoekstra and you can see the result here:

I am so proud that MY old iPhone is now THE coolest iPhone in the world!

    Hi Boris
    Since you know and use quite a bit of apple hardware, let me ask you this. What would be the best place to buy an Imac? One of the (physical) stores in Amsterdam (Prins Hendrikkade of Raadhuysstraat) of the online store. I remember you recommended ordering via the hotline once since the sales people are inclined to give something extra for free or a discount. Please advise!

    Thanks
    Peter
