You know a product has official hit the public’s consciousness as well as the late night shows get in on the fun. That’s just what happened as Letterman gave the latest iPad his trademarked Top 10 treatment. Apparently he’s addicted to “the damn thing.†Watch the video below:
Geohot (iPhone jailbreaker) can rap! In case you hadn’t heard, he moved his jailbreaking on to the Sony Playstation platform and Sony sued him. Maybe they should just sign him instead.
Lyrics:
Yo it’s geohot
And for those who don’t know
I’m getting sued by Sony
Let’s take this out of the courtroom and into the streets
I’m a beast, at the least, you’ll face me in the northeast
Get my ire up, light my fire
I’ll go harder then Eminem went at Mariah
Call me a liar
Pound me in the ass with no lube, chafing
You’re fucking with the dude who got the keys to your safe and
Those that can’t do bring suits
Cry to your Uncle Sam to settle disputes
Thought you’d tackle this with a little more tact
But then again fudgepackers, I don’t know Jack
I shed a tear everytime I think of Lik Sang
But shit man, they’re a corporation
And I’m a personification of freedom for all
You fill dockets, like thats a concept foreign to y’all
While lawyers muddy water and TROs stall
Out of business is jail for me
And you’re suing me civilly
Exhibit this in the courtroom
Go on, do it, I dare you
As Noted by the folks at Appleinsider Nokia used Apple’s mac to announce their precious partnership with Microsoft, here is the details:
When Nokia wanted to convince the world that it would bring consumers “stellar hardware and innovative software and great services” in its partnership with Microsoft, it turned to Apple’s Mac-only iMovie to get word out.
Following the announcement of Microsoft Nokia partnership a video posted by the company’s NokiaConversations YouTube account presents its new chief executive Steven Elop, formerly the head of Microsoft’s Office-centric Business Division, speaking about how Nokia’s new partnership with Microsoft will “create opportunities beyond anything that currently exists.”
Verizon has already brought Bing to some of its customers forcibly, erasing Google as the default option and generating a response that indicates that, perhaps, consumers don’t really want the brand that much after all. Microsoft also failed to bring Office to mobile phones as promised in its previous partnership with Nokia in 2009, when it was Elop himself representing Microsoft in the photos of executives of the two companies shaking hands.
Nokia talks Microsoft but uses iMovie
But that’s not the only thing familiar about Nokia’s video. Adrian Boioglu, a Romanian blogger, noticed that Nokia’s soundtrack was the same used by Apple in its presentation of the new unibody MacBook Pros in 2009. But they’re not just borrowing the same catchy tune.
The song is actually Pendulum, an Apple Loop installed as part of iMovie, available for royalty free use by anyone who uses a Mac to create iMovies, at least for non-commercial use.
The license agreement for Apple’s included “loop content’ reads, “You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (â€Audio Contentâ€), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds.”
Oops! This isn’t the first time Microsoft has been embarrassed by the use of Macs within its efforts to sell Windows. In 2008, the company’s “I’m a PC” campaign graphics were found to have actually been made on a Mac.
