Culture: “Dr. Horrible,” 8-bit style: A “Maniac Mansion” for modern nerds

  • Whoever the genius is that created this needs to be given like a million dollars by Joss Whedon or something so he can sell this game. This is a brilliant idea. And hilarious.

Culture, Tech: “Will it Blend?”, now and then: The iPhone and the iPad

  • 2007: iPhone puree One of YouTube’s most classic and memorable clips came out just after the iPhone’s release, when a blender company threw an iPhone into one of its high-powered blenders and saw what happened. It was awesomely expensive.

  • 2010: Ipad slushee The “Will it Blend?” dude, having had much more experience with the great gift of his, does the same thing to an iPad. Obviously an iPad is too big for one blender, so he violently breaks the thing in half first. Yet another classic.

Offbeat: We can rap movie titles just as effectively as this dude

  • 109 movie titles, five minutes. Despite that (and probably due to the fact that he fudged a couple of the fan-submitted movie titles, DeStorm’s rap is actually fairly coherent and pretty awesome. His beat sucks, but it doesn’t matter. Any dude who can fit that much into five minutes deserves a gold star and a cookie.

Tech: Fake Steve Jobs on the iPad: You’re waiting in line for sustenance

  • Some of our early iterations, in fact, had to be tossed out because when we looked at them we realized that parts of them were too, well, necessary. Don’t get me wrong. That’s fine for other companies. It’s just not what we do here at Apple.
  • Fake Steve Jobs • In an open letter to the people of the world regarding the iPad. In the letter, he describes the design process for the device, which involved engineers and designers having to work on a device inside a black box, and constant surveillance to make sure no info got leaked by employees. “It’s not easy to work at Apple,” he says, “But I think you’ll agree with me that it’s worth the trouble.” source

Tech: Need proof the iPad is going to be an amazing device? See this

  • This is a drum machine emulator. As many budding musicians will tell you, learning recording techniques on a PC isn’t exactly much fun due to the learning curve involved. You can already see how much less of one a device like the iPad creates. Korg’s iElectribe app suggests just how much possibility is out there. Hopefully, Apple fixes their App Store situation to encourage creativity like this. source
