Crafted from machined aluminium, just like your MacBook Pro, the iCufflinks are shaped like the familiar Apple power button. They include a pulsating LED to make all the guests at the party take note of the extreme Apple nerd in their midst. The group behind the iCufflinks have made the design open source, so you can download the schematics and mod them to your liking. If you want to snag a pair, they can be had for a cool $US128.

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 3:40 PMDidn’t you know? Anything Apple does, regardless of whether it’s been done before, is automatically theirs. And Magical. And you’re a “hater” or “Fanboi” of any given other system if you try and point this out.
