If the thought of sticking your dirty-ass feet into a new pair of shoes that you bought from a vending machine because you somehow lost your regular pair of shoes doesn’t appeal to you, then maybe this machine’s not for you. Shoppers, hobos, and late-night footwear forgetters near Carnaby Street in London will be able to pick up a pair of emergency shoes at the new Onitsuka Tigers… → Read More

Steve Jobs visited London yesterday. He might have been there just to hang out, getting himself a nice London tan, or he could, could have been there to finalise (note the British spelling) the details surrounding the European launch of the iPhone. Part of Apple’s London retail store is scheduled to be closed next Monday, leading some to predict an iPhone announcement then. Excitement! Of… → Read More
