[Update: The device revealed]

What is this thing?

Full reveal to be posted if no one can guess it correctly in the comments. The hints are in font color white, drag your mouse to reveal the 2 hints. I have no idea if this hint method will work in the feed <crossing fingers>

Hint#1:[ it's not for making coffee but is for 'making something'.]

Hint #2:[ it's about 100 years old.]

In light of the recent goofiness this week with Apple having to update the specs and claims about the iPhone’s capabilities versus its competitors we have this update revealed by the Onion, so you know this is laughing out loud funny, eh?

Here’s two of the specs but you need to go read the whole thing:

• nanotechnology enables it to reassemble itself when thrown against a wall
• exclusive link to ‘google street view’ so you can watch yourself using your iPhone at all times.

See the hilarity that occurs when book publishers start using stock photography which they don’t have exclusive rights to.

Link to Novelish.com for 5 examples.

And the link to Therapsheet for for many more!
