mythbusters evens the score on the iPod for zune fans

by Justin Horn on Nov 6th, 2008 @ 5:59 pm

Well even though this is an apple site, we like to keep it as fair and balanced as possible. In order to make up for the recent NBC Zune bashing with Chuck and then the next day with Conan O’Brien we bring you a clip of the latest MythBusters. This clips involves a ballistics dummy, an iPod, and an AK-47. The guys were testing a myth based on a report from a soldier being saved by his MP3 player while in combat.

One interesting thing I have noticed with MythBusters in general is their lack of product placement. You will see in the clip they refer to the iPod the whole time as an “MP3 player”. I’ve also seen them cover up the MacBook on the inside of the MacBook and the logo on the back. They do the same for their dell laptops, even though anyone with half a brain knows what they all are.

Here is the clip, but I warn apple lovers this isn’t easy to watch, but the Zune fans will enjoy it immensely!

wake me up before you gogo…inflight wifi comes to AA

by Justin Horn on Nov 6th, 2008 @ 1:47 pm

As I’m sure you know inflight wifi has been a hot topic this year and has been available on one of the largest US airlines, American Airlines, via Gogo for a several months now. It is only available on select flights, but I’m sure in the next 12-24 months this is going to be huge. Miami (MIA) to New York (JFK) is on that short list so it looks like I need to go visits 5th ave apple in the big apple again! Gogo is only available on AA, but will soon be coming to Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, and Virgin America. (continue reading…)

indecision 2008 live special, everyone has a macbook!

by Justin Horn on Nov 4th, 2008 @ 10:26 pm

In Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008 live special it seems that everyone has a macbook. Looks like Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert are rocking the Air and the rest of the staff sporting the new macbooks. Wonder how much apple paid for this product placement?

Also, Steven Colbert had his macbook pimped with a giant C around the apple logo.

Here’s a clip

In honor of the election in the US, I felt it was a good idea to post on an Operating System Poll Endgadget is running. It should be intersting because of the volume of visitors they get and being a pretty non-biased site towards any one peice of technology.

When Will Apple currently only has release date polls, but in the future we will be adding a new section for other interesting apple related polls. So for now just let us know your thoughts in comments below.

As of 6:15PM EST its a close race between Windows and OSX, with linux bring up the rear.
