The Butter PDA is a Fake!

·
· Score: 5, Funny
Yes, that's right, it's a fake. Proof? Consider the following:
- The picture shows the words "Palm VII x" across the top, but there is no antenna visible on the right side of the unit.
- The unit itself seems to be out of proportion with real VII x's by nearly 7 millimeters width.
- The "Login" button on the front screen is missing the "send information" icon (looks like waves moving out from a point) that is the staple of almost all Palm Portal online applications.
- The front panel buttons seem to be positioned wrong. The real up and down buttons on VII x's are centered approximately 3.5 mm farther down.
- The "cradle" this unit is sitting in is cleary missing the Palm logo on the front, as well as any visible HotSync button.
- The entire unit seems to be yellow in color and made of butter. This may be a result of a bad picture, but real VII x's are made of plastic and are black in color, with the distinctive "Palm green" monochrome screen.
Cleary this is the work of someone very skilled in Photoshop. I wonder if this is a retaliation by Palm after the recent FCC screwup with their new i705, to try and generate more interest in the VII x? Or perhaps it is the work of Palm-knockoff pirate organizations in Tailand or China, eager to flood the PDA hungry US market with cheap, imitation Palms.

If the producers stick to their plans, this device should pound the competition within the next quart-er. Of course, that's provided they don't let this opportunity slip through their fingers.

Why is there a reserve price? It would be foolish for the seller to think they could make money selling a giant butter sculpture (let alone one that looks like a PDA). They should be trying as hard as they possibly can to get rid of it...
Then there's the continual monetary drain due to needing to keep the sculpture refrigerated (who has a refrigerator that big?). They must pay someone to keep it refrigerated for them.
If I were the seller, I'd have no reserve and a low "Buy Now" price. Come to think of it, if I were the seller, I never would have ended up with a fifty pound butter PDA in the first place.

Second post!
Imagine a Beawolf cluster of these babies!

"...no, I told him I thought the latest Palm designs were cheesy!"
Ahem.
Damn, it's a sculpture.
:-)
I thought it's a real PDA.
If we were to make one of these the same way, would that be an iMac and cheese?
Butter doesn't conduct static electricity, so all hotsync'ing problems should go away :)

I've heard of greasing palms before, but this is ridiculous...
The Mexicans are soggy!
The organizational meeting of the Jon Katz loves butter society has been postponed. It will be held on the slashnet IRC channel #JonKatzIsGod on Monday at 5pm.
Jon has assured me that the "boxers vs. briefs" debate will be held. There will also be a Jon Katz expert that will talk about his affect on social stuctures and economic trends in the homosexual native american tribes in the Pacific northwest.
We'll then ajourn to the private pool for "fun".
As soon as I read this I knew there was only one place in the world where this would be done, the Minnesota state fair. Every year there is a "beauty contest" and the winner along with the runners up get a butter sculpture in the likeness of their head (the winner represents the Minnesota dairy industry). So now there are a number of groups around who do things like this. I didn't expect people to try and make money off of it, though.
It's the Mother Teresa bun for our modern, secular age!
Talk about getting greasy palms.
It looks like it didn't win any prizes in the dairy products or sculpture categories. Shame, it looks good.
As usual..

I'll be up at the State Fair this weekend. I hope the butter PDA is still there so I can try to pass it a virus. You think it's got a port for me to 'plug in'?
BTW, the butter sculpting is one of the grand old traditions at the Minnesota State Fair, the biggest state fair in the USA. The State Fair queen gets her likeness carved out of butter every year, and I know they sent David Letterman a bust of himself a few years ago.

At the Minnesota State Fair, the regional Dairy Princesses have their likenesses carved into a 90 lb block of butter. It's one of the big attractions every year at the Fair.

10. Gives a whole new meaning to "palm oil".
9. Runs so smooth... it's like butter.
8. Stupid character recognition... I wrote "butter", but all it will say is "Parkay".
7. Gives a whole new meaning to "butter fingers".
6. And to think, they said my computer would be no substitute for a girlfriend. Boy, were THEY wrong.
5. First ever computer with a "best used by" date.
4. Would you like your PDA salted or unsalted?
3. Gives a whole new meaning to "memory churn".
2. I think heat dissipation is going to be a problem.
And the number 1, absolute LAMEST joke about the Butter PDA:
1. I think I've milked this long enough.
What's really scary is that several of us stood around the display cooler and admired it for a bit.
i'm gonna buy this thing, melt it in a 40-gallon cast iron frying pan, and cook myself a 120-lb Windows PC made out of CHICKEN!!!
At long last! She can cook my dinner with it and then when we're done I can rub it all over her and have mad kinky sex with her.
Thanks EBAY!
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
Reminds me of the butter sculpture of N.C's own "Sodfather", Jim Grahm, (ex-Commisioner of Agriculture), at the N.C. State Fair.
And if you win, how the hell do you ship something like this. The seller has neglected to include the most important nugget.
What major shipping carrier will ship a 50lb chunk of butter with a promise not to melt it?
Maybe this is more of a proof of concept thing -- to see if people really *will* buy any old shit on Ebay.
No sig is worth reading.
"Dairy Princess" thats code for lactating dominatrix, right?
I can't help but wonder if Miguel uses one of these.

A PDA made out of butter? What a greasy marketing trick.
Now we know what The Evil Business Guy Made Of Butter used for a PDA!
Does this promote software bloat?
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. -- Pablo Picasso
Yes, that's right, it's a fake. Proof? Consider the following:
- The picture shows the words "Palm VII x" across the top, but there is no antenna visible on the right side of the unit.
- The unit itself seems to be out of proportion with real VII x's by nearly 7 millimeters width.
- The "Login" button on the front screen is missing the "send information" icon (looks like waves moving out from a point) that is the staple of almost all Palm Portal online applications.
- The front panel buttons seem to be positioned wrong. The real up and down buttons on VII x's are centered approximately 3.5 mm farther down.
- The "cradle" this unit is sitting in is cleary missing the Palm logo on the front, as well as any visible HotSync button.
- The entire unit seems to be yellow in color and made of butter. This may be a result of a bad picture, but real VII x's are made of plastic and are black in color, with the distinctive "Palm green" monochrome screen.
Cleary this is the work of someone very skilled in Photoshop. I wonder if this is a retaliation by Palm after the recent FCC screwup with their new i705, to try and generate more interest in the VII x? Or perhaps it is the work of Palm-knockoff pirate organizations in Tailand or China, eager to flood the PDA hungry US market with cheap, imitation Palms.

The best part is that they actually put a RESERVE PRICE on it. As if it's got enough shelf life for them to really wait for the best price...for a CHARITY AUCTION no less. Bwhahaha...

All jokes aside, you know a piece of technology has become a cultural phenomenon when some person (or people) take the time to create it's likeness in a statue of butter.
My sigs always suck.
It isn't that big, nor is it all that impressive. You guys should see the butter heads they have at the Fair - all of the royal court, lead by "Princess Kay of the Milky Way."
I know I'm a goon for saying this, but it's a pretty cool sight. I'm disappointed because there seems to be less and less of a family farming feel to the fair every year.
My Karma was at 49, then they switched to words. All that work for nothing!

it's for charity. The money goes to 4H.. although the reserve is probably a little out of my budget.

I can't believe it's butter :)
Someone makes a 50LBS "Tux the Penguin" out of butter and puts it on eBay? If so, will Bill Gates buy one so he can bite the head off? What about the BSD Daemon? Butter sculptures raise serious questions.

They can keep reselling this thing too. Just ship the winner a bucket of melted butter and say "the deliver truck must have overheated... sorry."
So how do you ship a 50 pound slab of butter? In any case I'd get it insured. :)

There is a business card for the sculptor in the case. It says he is immediately available. So next time I need a butter sculpture in a hurry, I'll know who to call. Or rather, I won't, because he wasn't beaming his card out of the butter PDA.
ObOffTopic: it was right next to the Unisys booth. They were demoing an electronic voting system. plover and I both voted twice (if you remove the smart card from the reader after it authenticates you at the beginning of the transaction but before you complete it lets you vote again). I hear it's already installed in Florida.

Its when you shove your hand up your ass like this...then you shake their hand. The smell lasts for days...
They should have the Battle Bot people outbid one another to have the privledge of cutting it up in the Battle Bot competition only a few blocks away on Machinery Hill.
Imagine that--the home-constructed battle bots competing to smash the butter PDA to bits. Butter everywhere, bots covered in butter, the fans covered in butter, the bots beating one another up.
Alas, I couldn't see anything at the Battle Bot competion because it was too crowded. Oh well.
The MN state fair is so awesome...
much butter than the one I'm using now. With the larger screen you can make notes in the margarine and not just the body of the document. And what a spread(sheet) application! Video scrolls very smoothly pasturize as you watch full screen MooPGs and PowerPint presentations.
Many pundits have had a cow over this thing, some going so far as to declare it udderly ridiculous. Others believe it will saturate the market as readily as this reporter's pants and shirt. If the producers stick to their plans, this device should pound the competition within the next quart-er. Of course, that's provided they don't let this opportunity slip through their fingers. There is some concern about keeping up with demand and they may have to farm out some of the manufacturing to avoid a melt-down if things begin to heat up.

Okay, this has got to be Stef Murky's idea. :)
I can't belive it's not a PDA!
ha! it's been slashdotted and only has 5 bids!
slashdot my socks and you'd get more bids.
Do we rate it in calories or MHz (mega-herdz)?

Why is there a reserve price? It would be foolish for the seller to think they could make money selling a giant butter sculpture (let alone one that looks like a PDA). They should be trying as hard as they possibly can to get rid of it...
Then there's the continual monetary drain due to needing to keep the sculpture refrigerated (who has a refrigerator that big?). They must pay someone to keep it refrigerated for them.
If I were the seller, I'd have no reserve and a low "Buy Now" price. Come to think of it, if I were the seller, I never would have ended up with a fifty pound butter PDA in the first place.
This is just what that American Pie kid needs.
Can I hot sync it with my fridge?
void women (int money, time_t time);
but the Newton had a 70-lb shortening version about 6 years ago. It had difficulty with handwriting because of a faulty butter knife attachment.
Prior to that, I understand NEC had managed to create a dried-apple head version of a cash register, but the disturbing pop-up No Sale key frightened young children.
Beware typoes.
anyone can clearly see this particular butter palm is the non-fuctioning display demo they use in comp usa. the real butter palms are kept in a refrigerator under the counter.
when religion is no longer the opiate of the masses, governments will resort to real opiates.
A NEW HOPE
Under the site's "Top 10 things to do with a 50lb butter PDA":
4. Healthy Midwestern snack that melts in your mouth not in your Palm
Putting aside the obvious issue of how 50lbs of butter can possibly be healthy, who on earth eats straight butter for a snack?
(Well, I suppose that somebody does, but they probably gave it up after their quadruple-bypass.)

Her 2000 creation was The Last Supper. This year it was John Wayne (life size) (sorry I couldn't find a pic online). She's been at it for decades. If I recall correctly, she made a cheddar pig once for Late Night with David Letterman once.
I'd've skipped Dylan to attend the "I Milked a Cow" exhibit.
At the bottom of the page it mentions that this will be for the 4-H Foundation.
Pack some crackers around it, and present it as a snack tray at a Handspring developer's confrence.
Lunch for my highschool gym teacher
Pack a dozen m80s in the middle during the M$ presentation at comedex...
Leave it in the hotel lobby at Defcon. Nuff said.
Tell Condit there's a cute intern in the middle.
Carve a Windows CE startup screen on it, and sacrifice at in a satanic ritual by slowly lowering it into the fire
Feed it to the neighbor's rotweiler- Give em diarrea for life.
It's for the children!
Tell Micheal Jackson theres a little boy in the middle.

That's great but does it support Ogg Vorbis? If not, I'm not buying.
Butter John Wayne: Party on, Garth!
Butter Garth Brooks: Party on, Wayne!

Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these babies?
They forgot to mention in the item description that for a fee you could have your Palm ViiB "upgraded" to an i705b.
The New York State Fair has a butter sculpture every year. It's usually the size of a refrigerator. A couple of years ago, it *was* a refrigerator, with milk, eggs, and cheese in it. A couple of kids were stealing the chocolate milk out of it, and had spilled some.
Yeah, and the whole thing was made out of butter.

Yup, 4-H needs your support. It's more than animals and plants. This year and last year my daughter (okay, so I'm bragging now--shoot me if I'm proud of my children) won the North/Central district public presentation contest. Last year was about paper-making and this was about Sheep to Shawl, past and present. Talked about how wool comes from sheep, yarn comes from wool, and sweaters come from wool.

Losers! Everyone knows the ButterIpaq runs much faster, and is in color too. Sure, the ButterPalm has a better shelf life, but that won't help you play Quake.
What's next on eBay? 50 pounds of butter made from Belgium Palm-beer?
bash$
funny!
This thing is so retared it would prob melt in a couple of hours.

Stop over-analyzing your analizations
Obviously, Randy Fry (or whoever the guy on the "Direct Connect" fliers is) should buy this and reverse engineer it.
Think about it, his chain already sells Chocolate notebooks and cellular phones...
It's not "there's always someone better than you", it's "there's alway someone more HARDCORE than you."
Ok as of right now the price is $360 and the reserve is not yet met... i seem to recall going to a charity auction before and usually what ever it sells for is what goes to charity... also WTF is the reserve on a 50lb chunk of butter (even if its a wonderful sculpture of a palm) this is not something that you can pass on to your grandchildren.
This must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

I can't decide if this best represents what happens when rednecks and technology cross, or if that title still belongs to AOL..
