Conan O’Brien showing off that he’s just as tech savvy as Jimmy Fallon. Good stuff.

Walter Isaacson: In the end, Bill makes the Zune and Steve makes the iPod [Video]

Justin Horn — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:05:22 +0000

Yes, the Zune is still the butt of jokes. I first noticed this trend way back in October of 2008, when NBC’s TV show Chuck joked about owning a Zune.

Now 3 years later Walter Isaacson, the author who wrote Steve Jobs biography, joins in on the fun. Isaacson, appearing on The Daily Show with John Stewart, highlights Steve Jobs’ more artistic and mystical style compared to Bill Gates’ brains and business sense.

How I imagine the boardroom of Android device makers

This Smart Car commercial perfectly captures how I believe Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and other Android device makers boardrooms sound, when discussing new product design.

Apple knockoffs, next stop, retail stores

Justin Horn — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:04:58 +0000

Looks like China wasn’t satisfied with making knockoff Apple products, they’ve now created fake Apple retail stores.

BirdAbroad:

You have already guessed the punchline, of course: this was a total Apple store ripoff. A beautiful ripoff – a brilliant one – the best ripoff store we had ever seen (and we see them every day). But some things were just not right: the stairs were poorly made. The walls hadn’t been painted properly.

Apple never writes “Apple Store” on it’s signs – it just puts up the glowing, iconic fruit.

And the funniest part:

Being the curious types that we are, we struck up some conversation with these salespeople who, hand to God, all genuinely think they work for Apple.

Check out the BirdAbroad blog for more details and photos.

Stupidest iPad article I’ve seen so far

Justin Horn — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:13:43 +0000

Jim Dalrymple, from LoopInsight, found a real gem here. He found an negative iPad article, “Move Over, Apple! My Tablet Cost $200”, by the Wall Street Journal’s Brett Arends. As crazy as this sounds, Brett tries to compare the Nook to an iPad.

Jim sums up how I feel about that comparison perfectly:

Comparing the Nook to an iPad is like rolling up to a new Ferrari with your 1974 Pinto and bragging that your car was cheaper.

Please note: I don’t recommend anyone actually read that Wall Street Journal article.

The Oatmeal on Obama’s meeting with Jobs, Schmidt, and Zuckerberg

Justin Horn — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:15:06 +0000

The Oatmeal nails it! What’s interesting, it didn’t even occur to me that Microsoft wasn’t represented until reading this. I guess my brain is already discounting them as innovators and views them more as keeping the status quo.
