Considering the handset has been available since last June, it's hard to imagine an unboxing ceremony that could bring anything new to the table.  That hasn't stopped photographer ntr23, though; he actually got up on top of the table, with a team of handy LEGO men to unwrap his new 8GB toy.  What might seem like a one-person job to us ... continued »

In a turn of events that almost seems too bizarre to be true, Russian journalist and 14-year Mac user Alex Patsay has written an open letter to Apple PR following what sounds to be a disastrous launch event in Moscow.  According to Patsay, Apple has added a 75-percent markup on iPods in Russia - taking a 16GB iPod Touch to ... continued »
