less stupid headlines please
Too many syllables for you to deal with?
Less stupid people please.
How is this news?
i mean someone put a light in the back of the iphone and made it look 100 times crappier in the process well done
I think you have to get inside the mindset of an Apple fanboy/Engadget "writer" to understand how this is news. ;>
Its a simple equation: (Gadget * a) + (Apple * a) = Engadget News * 10 to the power of fanboys
where a = absolutely anything related
also to those guys ranking my post down do you think it looks good?
Can you say it with a straight face i mean the apple on the back is only half lit up!
Well, I guess someone put apple's equivalent to the red ring of death on his chained iPhone.
Nice, so now it's even harder to see the screen in daylight. Very practical indeed.
ah that sucks, i was watching the video pretty amazed, and all your comments put it down lol, o well i guess being an iphone owner my only complaint is that the phone is slippery therefore I am forced to use a silicone case, so its nice to see that we have options just like most other phone users, anyways i like it
I appreciate that you can do this, but you really shouldn't.
complete tack.
I think it's a complete waste of time and effort.
i like how the screensaver changes from an apple to a pineapple. now thats creativity!
/sarcasm
Speaking of which.....would it be infringing on anything if a company called Pineapple Computer Inc. came into existance?
Probably

LOL!
will the logo be a pineapple with a part bitten off?
Wait, pusat computer?? Wasnt that the same thing on the fake engadget store????
Just looked it up, it is!

it's just pwnd
Ha, nice, not too sure about the screen though, bit tacky and tasteless imo.
Wow, that translation sure is crappy.
That was - by a wide margin - the most boring video I have ever watched.
You watched the whole thing?
Agreed, I thought it was never going to end.
btw so that all these noobs stop complaining
how bout adding an Engadget Apple section
or iEngadget or somthing :x
(btw i have nothing about these posts, just saying)
I wonder if he gets any reception now that he's got metal over the antenna?
We have highest ranks back! when was this fixed?
"modders weep with joy, envy"
In other news; "modders easily impressed: discover lights."

Er... that was a reply to Patriks7.
They have that; same blogging group.. but iphone "news"/"hype", typically due to its nature as such, tends to overlap with gadget "news"/"hype". meh
Wow! You mean he's...he's... ADDED A LIGHT to his phone! Incredible!
Well, that's a story all right.
Usually even I don't complain too much about random Apple posts straying into Engadget from TUAW.
But I think this one has to count. Unless you're such the Apple lover you are, getting a glowing Apple logo on the back of your iPhone isn't really news worthy. At least not worthing putting on Engadget. Just my opinion.
Woah! So many unhappy people because of this? I think modding of any kind and can most of the time be interesting, so I think it's good they try to cover big and small mods on popular products. @ complainers, name your favorite product of all time and present a mod for it so I can bring it down.
I just hope he's clever enough to change his pin code.
Since he does have a phone that stands out from the rest right now.
All he needs is some swine to think, "Oh, shiney" and takes off with it, and starts making calls to Japan's speaking clock!
@ RAheem : it's not metal on the antenne cover.
everybody his opinion.
and the pine apple is the sign that the iphone is PWNed with custom firmware.

i like the glowing apple.
What you hear is just weeping and envy. ;)
Awesome! Now he can be an attention whore wherever cell phones are allowed!
that's the idea !
To those of you who are struggling with this, I'm pretty sure the "glarey" screen was just a protective film, I've seen some like that before, theyre for "privacy".
As for the look, its a nice alternative, but I prefer mine. Really the Intil Inside logo killed it; if that were nerfed than altogether my opinion might change. I can't lie, the light up apple logo looked pretty cool.
Looks good on my Macbook Pro :) Taze that intel logo off.
I think it's pretty sweet.
I'd take it -- minus the Intel-ish logo and way-too-reflective screen protector.
Nice job, Man from Dutchland!
I could really care less about the iPhone mod. But if you watch the whole video, what the hell is that on the couch in the reflection at 4:19? It looks like some amputated (torso only) sex doll. Did anyone else notice this?
looks like a pillow to me... I think that post says a lot more about you than about the video...
I dont know whats better, the music or the fact that he hacked his thumb in the process of this little project.
I think it's cool. Kudos to the dude for doing a good job.. I would never want my iphone to look like that but no need to hate on the guy.
Can he use that to shave in the shower?
Anyone know what song that is?
The song is called 'Channel Reality' from the album 'Sold Out' (it's song 6). The singer is JC001 (guest singer on this track, although he's a regular co-artist for Le Peuple)
Ok so the Apple glows, great, but why did he replace the screen with a mirror?
Sweet! More place for fingerprint smudges!
