Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, Videos

You see, this is why we have Twitter. There are just some things that you want to share with the world, but they are things that would just be downright asinine to share in public. Instead, you do it behind the veil of your Twitter account. Don’t understand? Check the video above from CollegeHumor for a better explanation, and while you’re at it, follow me on Twitter.

iTunes License Agreement

Just a quick public service announcement to all our peeps out there, because we care. I know many people don’t read license agreements, but in case you are both:

  1. An user
  2. A terrorist

We need to make sure you know that you are not allowed to use iTunes, the digital music and video jukebox software, to aid in the “development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.”

We clear on that?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Transportation, Videos, Wireless / WiFi

Okay, we just came across this Louis C.K. clip, and had to share. Louis was a guest on Late Night with Conan O’Brien last year, and immediately started talking about the simpler times, before Wi-Fi availability on places and advanced smartphones. Give it a look, and let us know what you think - is he talking about you? Hey, we’re just as guilty ourselves…

Okay, well, not really, but here on the eve of MacWorld 2009, we thought we might have a little fun. We adore The Onion here at Gear Live, and when we saw this video, we had to share it with you.

The Onion used that fodder to put together the masterpiece you see above, the first Apple notebook with no keyboard.

Okay, enough of that, we’ll be back with the real MacWorld 2009 news tomorrow morning!

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Home Entertainment

Always on the lookout for references to the technology we love hitting the pop culture, we had to share these clips from The Simpsons. In the clip above, the family visits the new mApple store that has opened in the Springfield Mall, and we’re sure you can imagine the things they joked about in that one. We’ve got references to MyPods, MyPhones, the Brainiac Bar, and even the almighty Steve Mobs. Good for a chuckle. Below, we’ve embedded a second clip, where Lisa visits the Mapple world headquarters, to meet with Steve Mobs, which just so happens to be underwater.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Videos

While ‘s Fav 5 might sound like a fantastic idea, we’ve all known somewhere deep, deep down, that it could only spell disaster. It took to finally pin it down, and share with the nation why everyone should be very careful with who they choose to put on their five. Oh, and don’t even get us started on the MySpace Top 8. Be afraid.
