Jan 30 2009CubeCheater iPhone App Solves Rubik's
Been working on solving a Rubik's Cube for the last 26 years? Congratulations, you wasted your life. Keep at it, champ! Alternatively, get CubeCheater for your iPhone, take pictures of all the cube's sides, and PRESTO -- you've effectively defeated the purpose of playing with a Rubik's.

Thanks to rox, who can solve any Rubik's in a single move of the hammer.
Also, Happy Birthday Allison! Without your scathing wit and harsh criticism my life would be much better.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete phohotototohoto job. You can tell its a fake because the shaolin's are all wrong.
This is egg sandwichy like a scene from the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula catches the world series baseball in his sporan.
He is hoisted into the air by the revelling crowd and carried around Egypt as a hero.

Just one thing to say: AAAWWWWSSOOOOMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEE

@3 ....true, oh oh oh, I love you!

FAKE!!!!!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job.
You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.This is exactly like that scene in the website Geekologie where Daisy went to Soviet Russia and the people there said, In Soviet Russia, cube solves YOU!. Daisy then stopped making FAKE!!! jokes on the comments posts afterwards.
In other news, this looks cool. people are creative when they put their minds to a problem and solve it. but this takes the fun out of it.

hate the idea of just handing people the solution to the rubiks cube...i for one know how to do it without any need of iphone...stupid idea
10. Pew³ - January 30, 2009 6:19 PM
I don't like clowns, especially ones that look like Pennywise.
you know what I'm talking about!
11. Anita Bath - January 30, 2009 6:32 PM
A Chinese guy showed me how to do this the other day… there's a pattern of twists that you do, and the thing kind of solves itself. Now, if only I could figure out how they do Ken's "magic throw" in Street Fighter 2… damn Asians!!
12. Cameron - January 30, 2009 6:42 PM
I am thoroughly disgusted by this step in technology.
Have they even though about the people? All those poor sad losers who bought one in '74 and haven't solved it yet? Not every one wants to cheat. Some people want to do things the old fashioned way.
How are they gonna feel?
Well, they certainly ain't gonna feel a woman, that's for sure.
13. BKerks - January 30, 2009 6:43 PM
Will Smith solved it......and he didn't use an iPhone, and he got an acting career as Fresh Prince because of it! Then he got an iPhone and it showed him how to be a rap idol....
humanity, you got it all wrong.
14. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 30, 2009 6:50 PM
WOW, I'm actually impressed. That's the second coolest thing the iphone has ever done, after that jiggling boob app.
crApple still sucks though...
15. Moose Knuckle - January 30, 2009 7:13 PM
I'm waiting for a more useful app, like the one that can differentiate between humans and cylons...
*SPOILER*
But I guess we're all, technically, cylons, or something...
16. iota1 - January 30, 2009 7:36 PM
God algorithm at hand. Pretty sweet.
17. LSDiesel - January 30, 2009 9:04 PM
Okay who's the ****ing ninny who started whining about the language? Huh? Huh? Which one of you spineless worms just couldn't take it?
SiGee, I am going to come over to your house and talk dirty to you and your bacon bra all night because apparently we have to act like adults over here now.
18. Daisy (the real one) - January 30, 2009 9:24 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was in a hotel room and heard people outside the door, he ran to the balcony, and used a rope to get to the lower floor just as the men tried to break in and set off his booby trap.
Later he got some guns out of the ice machine and went down town to get new clothes.

DAISY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please dont leave us alone in the cold anymore, You have becom an iconic part of geekologie, never leave

@ LSDiesel
Who the F*** is complaining about the FU**ING language, I love to talk SH1T about BASTeRDS that I feel are PUSS1ES, (lol pussy in plural form).
F*CK THE F*CKING F*CKERS
21. StlDragoon - January 30, 2009 9:50 PM

This is exactly like that scene in the website Geekologie where Daisy made more lame jokes with movie refences in them again. Both Daisies, and The Spam Artist were captured and then put in a mindlock so they couldnt make lame jokes in the Geekologie comments sections ever again. The admins deleted all their posts and removed the comments sections so that people could not leave this type of repetitive spam and annoy the crap out of people.
also, F U C K censorship.
23. Bernard Fleming - January 30, 2009 10:33 PM
You can't say FKCU but you can say railed in the stinker.
Who was the last one to say the F word before it was banned?
Whats the roster of prohibited words.

26. Ark - January 30, 2009 10:56 PM

27. LSDiesel - January 31, 2009 12:41 AM
Here's a geekologie poem for you
Roses are red

30. choas - January 31, 2009 4:08 AM
my friend has a Rubik's cube with not square pieces on the side. Well it's not a cube anymore. It's at a point where it's so unsolvable you can't even turn it. =P
31. blp - January 31, 2009 7:55 AM
So all people use iphones for now are these pointless apps and games? I suppose they needed something to keep units selling instead of getting pwned by Blackberrys and Google's Android OS.
32. Meepers - January 31, 2009 9:27 AM
@32
There's hundreds of useful apps for iphone, as well as tons of truely awesome games... and a lot of it is free to download and it has nothing to do with Apple because they are independant programers that create them. Between the GF using the phone's GPS when she gets lost, my resturant and movie apps, the direct news and gaming news feeds, as well as dozens of games I use regularly on breaks/lunch at work- can't imagine being without an iphone.. I'm sure Blackberry can be just as useful and needed.. don't claim iphones are worthless just because you don't know what you are talking about, or just because you don't like them for some reason.. it's a quality product and one of the few things I've ever purchased that I honestly beleive is worth every single penny I paid for it
33. Douchie Mc Bagman - January 31, 2009 9:58 AM
@33 - YOUR A FAG
34. john - January 31, 2009 10:45 AM
@33 thank you mr. Apple PR man, the onyl thing you were missing was the "TM" next to the word Blackberry
now would an actual consumer care to comment
35. NastyBedazzler - January 31, 2009 1:03 PM
Okay so let me get this straight...
...we can't swear on Geekologie anymore? That's pretty lame Geekologie, you definitely just lost a few cool points.
36. Meepers drank the Kool-Aid - January 31, 2009 1:57 PM
There's hundreds of useful crapps for iphone, as well as tons of truely awesome games... and it makes me feel so much more mature than when I used to tote my Nintendo Ds Lite around in my little man-purse. I get lost and confused quite easily but my 'GF' loves the GPS, while I enjoy handing $1400/year to AT&T to play Tetris during breakfast, lunch, Kwanzaa, or when fapping to my 'GF's pic in the school's bathroom -.I'd almost have to get a life without the iPhone. I'm sure Blackberry can be just as useful and needed and are the preferredmethod of communications for the six-figure club... don't claim iPhones are worthless and overpriced and linked to an awful wireless service just because you don't know what you are talking about, or just because you don't like them for some reason or just because you might be right and my tiny nugget of a brain can't handle the argument since I actually believe that I'm cool now. It's a quality product because it's as expensive as hell and expensive means quality, right? And it's one of the few things I've ever purchased that I honestly believe is worth every single penny I paid for it, until I get older and I'm allowed to buy painted ladies on the weekends because this 'GF' stuff just isn't popping to cork anymore... maybe if I shove my iPhone up my arse and set it to vibrate I'll feel special again... if only someone would call me...
37. Stormy - January 31, 2009 4:28 PM
@ LSDeisel
You are just so amazing with words. How on earth did you come up with something that... original?!?
I want you to write me poems about my beautiful big brown eyes, but if thats not inspiring enough, you're welcome to write about my boobs too. They'd like that.
38. Brod - February 2, 2009 3:42 AM
You should either solve it properly, or take of all the little stickers off and switch them around, I cheat old school. :P
39. Meepers - February 3, 2009 9:59 PM
LOL, hilarious.. people can't simply have a different point of view without half a dozen people spazzing out and calling you a fag. I said Blackberry is fine, I never said Apple or AT&T are the BEST THING EVER, all I said is that it isn't useless, and that I personally was pleased by the product. Calm the hell down folks
40. Martin - April 15, 2009 1:34 PM
holy crap that is amazing!
