Hi guys, John Mayer here. When I saw the Mac OS X dock icon pillows that some guy named Roberto made for his friend Michaela, I wanted my sofa to look exactly like that. I was tempted to fire up Mail and write a message to my pal Steve's minions--asking why they didn't have the Icon Pillow Collection available at the Apple Store. However, I just learnt that the guy who did the original design by hand thought the best pop rock start in the world may be interested in buying, and put them up for sale in a cool web site.

The UN's International Telecommunications Union announced Friday that mobile phone subscriptions will reach 4 billion by the end of 2008, far more than half of the estimated 6.7 billion total world population. Of course, there are some, like John Mayer, who throw off that number by having more than one mobile phone (damn you, Mayer!) but it's still a huge milestone. The bump from last year's total of 3.3 billion is primarily due to emerging countries like China, India, and Russia, as well as lower prices and lots of healthy competition between carriers.

If only John Mayer's dad lived in Australia and owned a Dell. Then all of John Mayer's dad's tech support questions could have been easily answered by the good folks at Gizmo.

You see, today Dell and Gizmo announced that they were going to get intimate, with Gizmo services like setting up your Dell PC or setting up a wireless network available as an optional extra when purchasing a new Dell machine.

While it's highly unlikely that anybody reading this would need tech support to set up their own computer, this could be the kind of thing that you purchase for your own mum or dad when buying them a PC, so you can save yourself the 1,742 phone calls about how to get the computer working or, in John Mayer's case, finding an application.

Pricing is a bit on the expensive side, but look at it this way: they have to put up with all of those inane questions from old people so you don't have to. Isn't that worth something?

Pricing is below:

In a twist of destiny, John Mayer--the guy who writes to Apple Support saying "Hey guys, John Mayer here" and actually gets replies back--had to turn into tech support guy after his dad called saying "Hey, John Mayer's dad here." The musician tried to guide his father through Mac OS X in order to find his Entourage icon with no success, getting more and more frustrated with every turn of the conversation. We were able to grab the hilarious 100% unedited clip from TMZ before it disappeared.

Just when we thought John Mayer was happy with his MacBook Air, he goes and cheats on Apple with a Sony Vaio. Was it the fact that he had to submit a bug report? Was it the fact that everyone's submitting bug reports with his name in it? Or how about because he's on the Sony BMG label? Who knows! It's not the first time he's cheated on Apple, and we're sure as shit it's not going to be his last. [As seen in the latest issue of Wired Mag]

Hey guys. John Mayer here. You might have noticed I didn't sing at the iPhone 3G launch. That probably disappointed you, since people like to hear the songs that I write, which is why I'm going on tour. So you can hear my songs. BlackBerry is sponsoring it, since I really like the Bold. Because when I'm not calling two people at once or writing songs for you to hear, I write emails. Sometimes they're to myself with song ideas, for my songs. So, I have some BlackBerry tips for you.

Jesús has been doing a rash of John Mayer / Apple stories lately, for I don't really know what reason, but you guys seem to care about it a lot more than I do. Here's another: a Blackberry Bold, which is an interesting sign in terms of taste making and trendsetting by the guy who usually chooses all things Apple.

Hi guys. John Mayer here. When I'm not busy submitting Apple Problem Reports and banging two supermodels at once, I write songs. I know, you probably haven't heard them lately except at Apple events, but don't you know how I get those gigs? That's right, I call people. I call people two at a time with a technique I pioneered called the DoubleDouche. I'm busy, people. Two phones, two ears, two headsets. Believe it.

Hey Guys,
John Mayer here.
I just wanted to tell you that if you mention my name in your Mac OS X software crash report, it seems that there are real chances of you getting a direct reply from Apple Support, just like it happened to me. A Gizmodo reader did it and he got a reply straight away from the good people at Apple Support:

It looks like writing "John Mayer here" really works to get Apple's attention when you report a problem. According to Steve Jobs' fab guitarist, they got back to him directly only four days after he sent the bug report ramblings:
