  • Found Video: "Mac Beautiful"

    Filed under:

    It's kinda hard to describe this video without giggling. It is a woman's heartfelt love song to Apple. Yes, you read that right.

    Her passionate affectionate love song to Apple.

    With lots of, um, facial expressions. And her voiceovers about...dreaming.

    It kind of comes across as part stalkerish (if it is indeed possible to stalk a computer), part fangirl, and extremely cringeworthy. While watching, I kept wondering if we'd see this woman be escorted out of the Apple store--maybe with security guards for good measure.

    And, to be totally honest, I kept wondering when we'd see the video cross from PG into triple-X territory as she sang her devotion to the Mac.

    Fortunately, it never did.

    Thanks Sean

  • NewsHawker: Listen to NetNewsWire

    Filed under: , ,

    NetNewsWire is probably the single most used application on my Mac. If I'm connected to the net, NNW is open and refreshing my hundreds of RSS feeds. It's how I get stories for TUAW, of course, but it's also one of my primary sources of entertainment (I realize that might be kind of sad). Because of all this, NewsHawker piqued my interest, as it integrates with NetNewsWire to actually read aloud various NNW text (headlines, bodies, etc.) via Mac OS X's built-in text-to-speech functionality.

    NewsHawker is definitely beta software (on the way to being shareware), and I'm having some trouble getting it to work correctly. Nonetheless, this might be of interest if, as the developer suggests, you like "to eat and read your news at the same time."

  • Video: Boston Legal "Three Steves" speech

    Filed under: , ,


    If you caught this week's episode of the silly-but-sultry ABC comedy Boston Legal, you probably remember Alan Shore (James Spader) giving an interesting closing argument while trying to get his colleague Denny Crane (William Shatner) off the TSA's "no-fly list." Shore cited the iPod as evidence of America's technological prowess, and suggested that TSA should ask innovative thinkers to step up and fix the problem of barring innocent people from planes.

    It's lovely to see that Steve Jobs' influence on Disney/ABC has led to this sort of interstitial advertising praising Apple products in the middle of a show... but seriously: the top three tech innovators are "Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Steve BALLMER" -- are you kidding me? Time to sic Fake Steve on this guy and get him straightened out.

    Update: Fixed some mismatched HTML to restore the post text.
