This is the BONE Horn Stand (fnarr) for iPhone – a lo-fi acoustic amp, sheathed (fnarr) in silicone that adds 12 decibels of sound pressure to your iPhone’s speakers without draining any juice (fnarr) from the iPhone’s battery.

It only works with the iPhone 4,  not the 3G or 3GS.

All fnarred out now.

Vincent, a 1982 animation written and directed by the reigning king of gothic stop-motion Tim Burton, tells the story of Vincent Malloy, a boy obsessed with Edgar Allen Poe who wants to be just like Vincent Price.
