Nicholas Negroponte introduces the hundred-dollar iPhone


Man oh man. When I first saw this I thought Nicholas Negroponte and those crazy kooks in the One Laptop Per Child crusade had decided they weren't satisfied making shoddy knock-offs of real computers and now were attempting to make a cheapo version of the iPhone. Thank God it isn't that. Some kid's mother knitted an iPhone for reasons I don't understand. See here.

Don't tell me she did it because she thought the actual iPhone wasn't good enough!

I think that'd be an awesome iPhone cover.

This kid is amazing in his descriptions. I didn't have that knitting vocabulary until i was about 12. Then again maybe a grownup wrote the article. Not that I'm accusing anybody of anything. Still It's kinda defeating when people fake it and don't even try to fake it genuinely like you, O! master of the fakery bakery.

Too funny, but personally, I think it would be neat to give it a few sound effects.

Ummm...it wasn't some kid's mom. The guy who writes the blog is dad of young kids, and he didn't want his kids slobbering all over his iPhone. So his mom knit it for her grandkids, really. Just to clarify ;)
