The iPad. Not exactly Apple's greatest product name. We were really hoping for iSlate or maybe even the Apple Newton II. Most people connect pads to menstruation... including the writers from Fox's defunct sketch comedy show, MADtv. They actually did an iPod spoof called iPad years ago. We found the clip still up on YouTube.

Conan O'Brien Immortalized in Cheetos [video]

| | Share | | |
Using approximately 2,000 Cheetos sorted from over 50 bags, one artist has painstakingly created a portrait of former Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien. It's not exactly edible, but it might help satisfy your hunger for Coco until his show [hopefully] returns to late night this fall.The artist responsible for this cheesy masterpiece is Jason Baalman. Don't worry, he doesn't have a weird obsession with Cheetos. Baalman was actually hired by Cheetos to create the portrait. It's made entirely out 3 different flavors of Cheetos for shading and a little glue. The final product took 3 weeks to complete and Baalman posted a time lapse recording of the entire process on YouTube.
Very clever viral video idea right? There's even a contest to win this 5 feet by 4 feet Cheeto O'Brien portrait. Just head over to JustJared for details.

We wonder if the kid is even still alive. Who knows what other stunts he's done this past year.

Why it's better to lose your iPhone in the UK vs. the US
|
| 3:03 PM |
| | | |
|
| | Share | | |
Did you get a gadget gift like an iPhone, Kindle or GPS this holiday season? Make sure you keep your eye on it. Thousands and thousands of gadgets are stolen every year. 12,000 laptops alone are lost or stolen from US airports every week. So what do you do when your precious gadget is stolen? Unfortunately devices like GPS units and Amazon Kindles can't be easily tracked. Special software, like the application Undercover, can help you track your laptop or iPhone, but you have to pay for this software and install it in advance.
So what happens if your phone gets stolen and you haven't already signed up for a software tracking application like Undercover? Unfortunately US residents are kinda screwed. In the United States, all a thief has to do to take over your phone is replace your SIM card. But if you live in the UK, a stolen cell phone becomes useless as soon as it's reported to the authorities. The UK has a national stolen phone database that prevents thieves from activating stolen phones even when the SIM card is swapped out [video].
Let's hope something like the UK system makes its way over the pond soon. In the meantime, keep a close eye on your gadgets kids.

Can't be face to face with your friends and family this holiday season? No problem. Just grab your iPhone and broadcast yourself. Thanks to a new free app called Ustream Broadcaster, iPhone 3GS users can now broadcast live video over both WiFi and AT&T's 3G network."This is the first live broadcaster ever available in the App Store, bringing the ability to broadcast live to anyone," said Dr. Gyula Feher, Ustream's founder on the company's blog. "From birthday parties, kids’ sports games and baby’s first steps to your latest vacation, this app enables anyone with an iPhone to share important moments with family, friends and more."
Ustream has even added a one-touch sharing feature that allows users to not only post videos to YouTube, Facebook but it will even announce your new video to your Twitter followers.
The app not only works on older iPhone 3G models, but it enables a video recording work around. Apple hasn't updated older iPhones with software that would allow them to record video. But in addition to streaming capabilities, Ustream Broadcaster lets iPhone 3G users record video straight to their iPhones.
You can download Ustream Broadcaster from the iTunes App Store here.

With Thanksgiving only days away, it looks like some wild turkeys in suburban New Jersey decided to launch a preemptive strike.
"Mommy!!!!!! The turkey stole my bike!"
The turkeys in this video were caught on camera terrorizing a New Jersey neighborhood. At one point in the video, the mother grabs her kids from the attacking turkeys and runs into oncoming traffic. Maybe next time she should try throwing apples at the turkeys.
Who knew turkeys could be so dangerous. If you're a parent in N.J., then you might want to keep the kids indoors until after Thanksgiving.

You probably wouldn't expect a crowd to go completely wild at facial hair competition, but you'll get way more than you expected if you stick around for the 2nd guy [video].So is the video real? From the beginning, we had our suspicions. The clip's grainy video noise is almost too perfect. So we contacted an expert.
"I suspect it's not real," said Phil Olsen, founder of the website Beard Team USA.
"The first time I saw the video was today... I don't recognize any of the people in the video. Nor had I ever heard of the National Beard and Moustache Championship held in Tacoma in 1991 until now. If there was such an event in Tacoma in 1991, I am surprised I had not heard of it before."
Alas, the beard cage is most likely a fake. But just in case you get some hairy inspiration, here's a menu of moustache styles:

She then followed the dispatcher's advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been "drinking all night long."

CCTV security video footage released last Friday shows the mother looking away for a moment when the stroller suddenly rolls off the edge of a station platform just as a train is approaching.
The train pushed the stroller about 130 feet along the tracks before it stopped. The six-month-old baby suffered only a bump to his head.
Hopefully mom will keep a closer eye on the stroller for now on.

How do you convince an increasingly overweight population to get a little more exercise by taking the stairs instead of the escalator? What if you make it fun?The Fun Theory team chose a German metro staircase for their piano experiment. They connected pressure sensors to thin black and white colored decals and installed them on each step. The team then rigged each decal to play the corresponding piano sound each time someone stepped on one of the sensors [video].
From helping the environment to helping yourself, Volkswagen's clever "Fun Theory" viral ad campaign attempts to change people’s behavior for the better. We're not sure it will help them sell cars, but at least they are helping people while associating their brand with fun and innovation.

What do you do with a giant record breaking pumpkin that weighs over 1,000 lbs!? Hollow it out and race it! Pumpkin Boat Racing first started gaining popularity a few years ago (the video above is from 2007). But the Germans have really taken a liking to the fringe sport.According to spiegel.de, they plan on hosting a Pumpkin Boat Raging European Championship in 2010.
Germany staged its first ever pumpkin motor boat racing championship on Sunday. It was such a success that the country plans to host the European championship next year. A woman newcomer to the world of pumpkin racing won the 200-meter race.
Giant pumpkins don't make the best racing boats but they do have one advantage over wood and carbon-fiber-- they can be turned into gallons of soup.
Four contestants took part in Germany's first motor boat pumpkin race on Sunday in their outsized fruit vessels fitted with 3.5 horsepower outboard engines capable of reaching speeds of up to 10 kilometers an hour, said the Holiday Park Hassloch, an amusement park in southwestern Germany which hosted the race.

If you've watched TV lately, then you've probably seen the new Snuggie for Dogs commercial. That's right. Snuggies aren't just for humans anymore. As you might expect, the Snuggie for Dogs ad follows the "As seen on TV" commercial formula perfectly. It even has one of those back and white "before" scenes that makes you realize how miserable your life is because you don't already own this product.Here are some classic moments from the Snuggie for Dogs commercial:
- Dog owner attempts to pull an obviously uncomfortable sweater over her dog's head.
- Sleepy dog finally able to nap comfortably now that it's wearing a Snuggie.
- Small white dog throws a doggie tantrum because stupid owner makes it wear a non-Snuggie jacket.
- Old lady and her dog wearing matching Snuggies while sitting on the couch together watching TV and knitting.
By the way, we're pretty sure "Snuggie for Dogs" is one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals [video]

Unless you're a huge fan of the American late night comedy show, Saturday Night Live (SNL), you might have missed a skit called Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals. The skit features Andy Samberg talking to animals as Mark Wahlberg. The concept might sound a little strange but the skit is hysterical. Samberg is both the perfect sound and look alike to Mark Wahlberg.
Here's a transcript of the skit:
Don Pardo: And now: Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.
[graphic]
Mark Wahlberg: Hey! I'm Mark Wahlberg. You guys know me. Let's go talk to some animals.
[walks over to a dog]
Mark Wahlberg: Hey, dog. How's it goin'? I like your fur, that looks really great. So you're a dog, right? What's that all about? [dog just stares ahead, oblivious] Okay, well it was great to meet you. Say hi to your mother for me, okay? [stands up] Now I'm gonna talk to a donkey.
[walks over to a donkey and bends down]
Mark Wahlberg: Hey, donkey. What's goin' on? You're a donkey, I like that. You eat apples, right? I produce Entourage. [donkey just stares ahead, oblivious] Okay, talk to you later, donkey. [stands up] Now I'm gonna talk to a chicken.
[walks over to a chicken on top of a crate]
Mark Wahlberg: Hey, chicken. How's it hangin'? A lot of people wanna eat you, but I just wanna talk to you, okay? We should do a film together, whaddya think? [chicken looks around uninterested] Hey, chicken, I'm not joking around, okay? This is the real thing, I mean this could be huge! [chicken continues to look uninterested] All right, well, think about it. Say hi to your mother for me, alright? Now I'm gonna talk to a goat.
[walks over and squats next to a goat]
Mark Wahlberg: Hey, goat. It's good to see you. I like your beard. I had a beard like that in The Perfect Storm. Did you see that movie? [goat stares ahead oblivious] Did ya, did ya see The Perfect Storm, goat? [goat still stares ahead blankly] Say hi to your mother for me, okay?
Don Pardo: This has been: Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.
Mark Wahlberg isn't a big fan of the skit. He had this to say in a NY Post interview he did while promoting Max Payne:
"Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure. And "Saturday Night Live" hasn't been funny for a long time. They've asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don't even know who's on the show now."
Wahlberg also threatened to slap Samberg when he was a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
But everything all worked out in the end. Wahlberg came on SNL to do his own version of Samberg's imitation of himself a week later:

What does it take to get 23 MacBook Pros, 14 iPhones, and 9 iPods for free?According to a security video from the Apple Store in Marlton, NJ this week, all you need is four friends, a brick, and 31 seconds.
By the time the security guard was able to run over to the entrance and investigate the sound of the breaking glass, the robbery was already over.
The thieves obviously knew what they were doing. They patiently waited for the security guard to walk away on his rounds before smashing through the plate glass door. They then rush the store, split up, grab as much as they can carry and get out in just half a minute.

This Alabama (USA) mom was caught on video dragging her child through a Verizon Wireless store on a leash. Guess she didn't realize that most people in a cell phone store either A) already own a cell phone that can take pictures and video or B) just bought a cell phone that can take pictures and video.
Don't worry there's nothing wrong with your speakers. The clip doesn't have any audio.

Look out below! It's raining babies... at least in some parts of India. It sounds crazy, but as you'll see in this CNN video, people actually throw babies off of rooftops because they believe it makes them stronger. Bystanders below then catch the baby with bedsheets.Fly baby fly.
BTW - the baby in the photo on the right wasn't part of the rooftop tossing. It's just a picture we found on flickr.

At one point in our lives, we've all had an angry girl/boyfriend experience. But chances are, you didn't immortalize that experience in a YouTube video. The video above chronologically takes you through all the emails sent by an angry girlfriend who forgot that her boyfriend was going to be in Europe for 2 weeks."During the Summer of 2007, I had the opportunity to backpack around Europe for 2 weeks. I talked about it often before I left. My girlfriend however, although great in many respects, was not the world's greatest listener. I left on Friday June 1st. Despite even calling her to say goodbye the night before, she never realized I left. When I arrived home 2 weeks later, I had several emails from her, waiting in my inbox..." - JD

Toshiba announced this week that they will begin producing Blu-ray DVD players. Toshiba had developed the HD-DVD high-definition DVD format and competed and conceded defeat in a format war with Sony's competing Blu-ray in 2008. Details will be made available later this year, but this move should give some much needed momentum to the Blu-ray format. Blu-ray is losing traction competing against online services like Netflix, which stream movies through the Internet directly to consumers.

BMX Bandits was recently re-released on DVD and continues to completely sell out on Amazon.com.

Over the weekend, Leif Olson shot an amazing hole-in-one at the Canadian PGA Open. After teeing off at the 15th hole, his ball rolled down a hill, curved around the green, bounced off another players ball and finally rolled right into the hole. Definitely one of golf's best shots of the year.
Olson's fancy trick shot, probably more suited for a game of pool, not only placed him at 7-under par, but earned him a BMW Z4 Roadster.

Check out this viral video ad for La Poste, the French post office. The audio is in French so we're not exactly sure what is being said. Probably something along the lines of how easy it is to send a message. Because after a few clicks, the MacBook transforms into a spaceship and flies away. Maybe to deliver an e-mail?Eagle-eyed Apple fanboys might want to take a closer look at the MacBook before it transforms. Which model laptop is it? It appears to have the MacBook Air's screen but the unibody of a standard MacBook.

Feel like dancing? Are you alone? Who cares. Remember, it just takes one person to start a party.This video above was shot at the Sasquatch 2009 Music Festival. The song is called "Me+Yr Daughter" by a great band called Natalie Portman's Shaved Head.
Who is the dancing guy? Good question. People who witnessed the spontaneous Sasquatch dance circle only knew him as Collin from Canada.

United Airlines Breaks Guitars [video]

In the spring of 2008, musician Dave Carroll and other passengers watched from the plane as clutzy United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago broke his $3500 Taylor acoustic guitar on the tarmac.
After the incident, Carroll contacted the airline to ask for compensation. For the next few months, Carroll was given the runaround until United Airlines finally said they wouldn't pay for the damages. Before hanging up the phone for the last time with United Airlines, Carroll made a promise.
"I promised the last person [from United Airlines] to finally say no to compensation, Ms. Irlweg, that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world," Carroll said on his website.
It's been almost a year since Carroll's Taylor guitar was smashed on the tarmac, but he's finally making good on his promise. This week, Carroll uploaded a song he recorded with his band Sons of Maxwell to YouTube. It's called "United Breaks Guitars."
Here are a few lyrics from the chorus:
United, United
You broke my Taylor guitar
United, United
Some big help you are
You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable just admit it
I should have flown with someone else or gone by car
'Cause United breaks guitars
Unfortunately for United Airlines, the music video and the story behind it has caught the attention of the Internets. "United Breaks Guitars" is currently the top link on Reddit.com and Carroll's song has prompted an onslaught of negative comments about United Airlines across the Internet from Twitter to YouTube. Our favorite so far is "Revenge is a dish best served with country accompaniment."
Doesn't United Airlines know that the customer is always right? The amount of money and time United Airlines will have to spend dealing with this PR nightmare will far exceed $3500.
