Boing Boing Exclusive: Apple iBox prototype left in laundromat

Via the BB Submitterator, Boing Boing reader Agger (we slipped him $5,000 in crocheted Steampunk funny money for the leak) reports,

Someone accidentally left this prototype of the new Mac iBox in a laundromat in Italy. What to expect: "The interfaces are fairly intuitive, with a variety of mark-generation potential. Problems: The hue range is limited. The receptive surfaces will be sold separately by third party vendors. And the the gray undo tool isn't compatible with all the rendering devices."

  1. This is outrageous — I can’t believe you’d out the submitter. Have you no decency or care for his career?

  2. Xeni, goddamn it, if BOINGBOING is going to put popups on your webpage, have the common courtesy to put a button you can click to make them go away . . .

    1. Simmer down, bub.

      Popups are against our ad policy. Occasionally, and I do mean rarely, one will slip through the ad remnants, but not because we okay’d it.

      If you can, please give us details (via submitterator is very helpful) and screenshot of the ad in question.

    2. My apologies. I added some new functionality to Boing Boing’s index page that will alert you to new posts that have been added since you first loaded the page. This will only appear after you’ve been on the page for ten minutes or thirty minutes, and if there is a new post to alert you to.

      I also, boneheadedly, forgot to put a close button. There should be one now.

      Just to be clear to those of you not aware of this, this is not a popup window or an ad. It’s just a little notice that there’s new stuff for you to read. I tried to make it unobtrusive, but perhaps I could have been a little more light in my touch.

  3. This is revolutionary. I’ll be abandoning my laptop, my smartphone, my desktop, and my Nintendo DS.

  4. The battery life is damn near infinite! However, there are still risks for repetitive motion injuries.
