The above image has been surfing its way around the internet, and I just thought I would say a few words in defense of the big yellow book that arrives on our doorsteps. Although I agree that the world be a much better place if there weren’t so many phone books sitting around without use, they do have a time and a place.
Cousy’s Vid of the Week 6/18
As most of you that spend more than 3 seconds on the internet know, the web is a great place to find cool and funny videos of whatever your heart desires. The web as provided a great breeding ground for artists and comedians to share their work with the entire world. That’s why the Pink Mac wants to share with you some of our personal favorite videos we have found on the interwebs in the past 7 days.
I just realized that I missed a Vid of the Week post a few weeks ago! I don’t know how this happened as it is my favorite thing to blog about. Sorry if anyone’s lives were crushed about this and to make it up I bring you a record THREE videos for this week! Enjoy.
As a nerd who plays World of Warcraft this video made me crack up. Perfect parody of Run This Town by Jay-Z. To all the citizens of Azeroth: get pumped, grab your Mountain Dew, headset, and get ready to kill Arthas with this playing – this song is for you.
Bonus Video of the Week!
OkGo is a popular band know not so much for their great songs, but rather their amazingly mind blowing music videos. From the Youtube viral hit – Here it Goes Again (The Treadmill Video), WTF, and both videos for This Too Shall Pass (2nd one here) OkGo has done new and exciting things with each song. So it’s no surprise that the video for the new song End Love is fantastic. Try not to make a big mess when your mind is blown.
Bonus – Bonus Video of the Week!
I am a big fan of the Fully Sick Rapper and was pleased to see him share this video of a fellow sick rapper. Josh Sundquist lost his leg to cancer but that hasn’t slowed him down or stopped him from making a hilarious rap video.
iPad Economics.
This morning as I was driving into work, a thought suddenly hit me. Does the success of the iPad mean the recession is truly over?
After all, we are talking about a product that has sold over 2 million units in its first 60 days of life; 1 every 3 seconds as Jobs himself told us at D8 and WWDC. Now, if you factor in the 2 iPad a person limit, at the minimum, we have 1+ million individuals purchasing a machine that costs at least $500 a unit in just 2 months, and demand for the product is only rising. Apple itself cannot produce iPads quick enough to satiate consumer demand, so I beg the question, are we out of the recession yet? I think we must be at this point. It’s either that or Apple has some secret recipe for success even in bad economic times. I guess both are possible. What do you think?
No iPad for me!
So, I’m currently sitting on a Bolt Bus on the way home from NYC, totally devistated because there were no ipads at the 5th Avenue Apple store. I have concluded that I will just never get an ipad at this point, that is, until the 2nd gen model comes out and I preorder it like a sane person would!

No big intro here, just a video mocking the incompetence of BP. Enjoy.

Want a free iPod?
Now the ad says iPod Touch but upon reading the terms and conditions it states rebates apply for iPod Touches, Classics, Nanos, and Shuffles. The only difference is the price of the rebate which will match the model you buy. Now while I would recommend getting the better $199 device for free as opposed to the $79 shuffle, its your call and either one will work for the rebate! Also, it turns out you don’t have to be a college student to get this offer. Here is how who is eligible breaks it down:
- If you are an employee of a public or private K–12 institution in the United States. Also school board members who are currently serving as elected or appointed members, PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected or appointed are eligible.
- With higher education – faculty, staff, and students attending, or accepted into a higher education institution are eligible.
- And even parents purchasing on behalf of their child, who is a student currently attending or accepted into a public or private higher education institution in the United States, are eligible.
