Marks on your coffee table? There are coasters for that—iPhone App Coasters

I want to give a shout out to @Daynah for tipping me to these awesome iPhone Apps Coasters. I’d seen them on the periphery… I’d even seen some on Flickr… but now, for £19.99, I can see them on my coffee table. They are available in three different sets — The Core» , Home» , and Media» — each set featuring 6 of Apple’s default iPhone apps.

Do you love iPhone Apps and their icons enough to make them a part of your home decor? Leave me a note in the comments.

Don’t look now, but there are new Mac portables afoot

It’s as if Apple didn’t want anyone to notice, but of course many have (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Apple’s line of MacBooks and MacBook Pros were updated this morning without celebration or announcement.
