Google Wave Cyber Sex

March 4th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

During my day job I spend a lot of time tracking Google and the products that they release.  When I first saw a video demonstrating Google Wave, I was intrigued by the product and had high hopes for it.  Turns out that it just never really caught on for me and I hardly use it anymore (none of my friends were ever on it).

The product has, however, lead to a sub-culture being formed around creating hilarious and well done videos using the product.  In the past, I showed you Pulp Fiction’s Marcellus Wallace Scene in Google Wave.  I also enjoyed the Google Wave of the Declaration of Independence.

In the same vein as the above parodies, we now have a video from College Humor that parodies Google’s original wave introduction video.  They did a great job when you compare it to the screen shot below.  Might not be very funny if you’ve never used Google Wave, but worth posting for those who have.

Google Wave of Pulp Fiction Marcellus Wallace Scene

October 24th, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

This is a very clever use of Google Wave where they take a pivotal scene with Samuel Jackson and visualize it using Google’s new Wave application. I have been using wave for a while now, but never to this level!

I appreciate their use of the application and it’s functionality (embedding videos, pictures, etc. on the fly), and the coordination of the video is top notch.

This video has pictures of Dave Chappelle as Little John and a video clip from the show Double Dare, how could I not post this funny video?

What does Marcellus Wallace look like anyway? I definitely don’t think he looks like a bitch.

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard – The Onion

January 6th, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

I love the Onion! Nothing better than a joke newspaper writing awesome headlines that make me laugh at least once a week.  Over the past few years, they have also gradually added video to their site and some of the videos they produce are also quite good!

Yesterday they released a fake news story in honor of the MacWorld expo that is happening this week.  Excellent timing and a very well done joke news story about a fictitious new product by Apple.  They do a great job of playing up the biases that many people have toward Apple’s innovations (i.e. everything they put out is better than everything else) and also touch on the fact that often “easy to use” and “practical” are two different things.

My favorite line(s):

“everything is just a few hundred clicks away”

“I’ll buy almost anything if it’s shiny and made by apple”

“I like sending an email that says ’sent from a MacBook Wheel’ – that lets everyone know you have one”
