Apple officially announced today that Steve Jobs has returned to Apple as its CEO. As you probably know, Jobs has been out of commission since January due to poor health. Most people speculated his cancer had returned but Jobs dismissed that as a mere rumor, stating that he had some kind of “hormonal imbalance.” I’m glad Jobs is back. Now ...

Anthony is the man. Not just because he’s an avid Gearfuse reader, but because he designed this badass skateboard deck called Fruit. The entire thing is wrapped in fruit, giving a your board a fresh new look in a world full of World Industries and Element. The best part is that although extremely limited, you can still get your paws ...

Ah, yes. Functional jewelry. For people who’ve just migrated to the big city (as in, New York) and haven’t found themselves acclimated, consider dropping $23 on designer Tiffany Burnette’s wristcuff-thingy. It’s a metal cuff bracelet with the entire map of the subway on it. And by entire map, I mean Manhattan minus the ghetto areas uptown. Made in New York, ...

Amazing. The Onion is reporting that Twitter creator Jack Dorsey had “never intended for it to be useful.” The report claims that Dorsey created the service for attention-starved idiots who have nothing else better to do. Without a doubt, it is the greatest description of Twitter. Says Dorsey: “Twitter was intended to be a way for vacant, self-absorbed egotists to ...

Is this proof that time travel, indeed, exists? I want to believe, baby! Please tell me Marty McFly would never lie to me! By the way, I think my brain just imploded. Link

So, this is why there weren’t more Richard Gere-esque rumors about Captain Kirk and those damn Tribbles. It’s too bad this shirt is only for the ladies. I’d totally rock it like a crocodile. Grab yours for $20. Link

Who hasn’t dreamed of one day being a superhero? It’s one of those ambitions that you never lose as you transition from child to adult. When you’re a kid, you wear pajamas featuring your favorite superhero’s emblem. Some PJs even featured a cape for ultra-realism. Now, as adults, we can get somewhat of the same effect in a slightly matured ...

So here’s the deal. Apparently, the Thai people really, really love pandas. They love pandas so much that they are willing to paint their national animal, the elephant, to look just like over-sized smelly versions of the cuddly bears. Keepers of Thailand’s Ayutthaya Elephant Kraal threw some paint on five of these huge rodentphobic mammals and paraded them through the ...
