'IYule' Log Puts Fireplace in Your Pocket
If you ignore the bad romance novel pun, the iYule really does put a fireplace in your pocket. You can install the iYule on various digital devices, including the iPod, iPod Touch, Zune, Apple TV, Xbox 360 and of course computers (as a screen-saver). When initiated, the clever 30-minute looping track is a full-screen video of a crackling log fire, complete with crackling, popping, and sizzling sounds from a fire recorded in HD. It also comes with an intriguing piano soundtrack, but you can choose to get a version that does not include the music. The iYule is priced at $5 for mobile versions, $7 for the PC/Xbox 360 version, $7 for all versions sans music, and $10 for every version available, with "bonus features". 10% of all proceeds from the iYule will go to charity. You can see a full flash sample here, to help you decide whether or not a digital fire is your kind of thing. If you'd like to buy your very own iYule, please go here.

Is that where the simulated fire covers the simulted chiminey with simulated creasote from simulating burning too much simulated pine instead of simulated oak, and starts a simulated chimeny fire?
Our Web site never says we're giving ALL the proceeds to charity, but people started blogging that, and then other people are getting upset, so I just wanted to clarify! :)
By the way, the fire isn't simulated. We tried doing a simulated fire last year, and...well, it looked simulated. This was shot in HD.

Regardless, good luck putting HD logs in people's pants :D.
@zekrahminator: No worries! We've just been getting killed all day in the blogosphere with people saying we're trying to mislead people. :) I appreciate you making the update!
Hope you stay a while, TPU really is a fun place to talk about tech crap/chill. Malware and I, among several other newsposters, are responsible for keeping the site full of interesting current events to discuss. We're very big on contribution here. TPU is now, thanks to you, a great place to get logs in your pants... :roll:.
