Last year when the iPad was released, the geek shopping site ThinkGeek debuted an arcade cabinet that would play retro games using the iPad as the screen. The problem? It was an April Fool’s joke.

That didn’t last long. When it was clear this was something people really wanted to buy, the product became a reality. Now, the $99 iCade Arcade Cabinet, a beefy, well-built personal video game machine, is a reality.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, the visionary creator who changed the world of technology in more ways than any computer we have could possibly count, has died at the age of 56.

To say the outpouring of grief in the tech world (and currently on Twitter) is massive would be an understatement.

Apple’s tribute page invites those who wish to remember Jobs to email rememberingsteve@apple.com.
