Video: Letterman’s ‘Top Ten Excuses of the Guy Who Lost the iPhone Prototype’
While David Letterman says he doesn’t think this is a big deal, the iPhone 4 leak was obviously top of mind enough (or on the minds of his writers) to whip up a “Top Ten Excuses of the Guy Who Lost the iPhone Prototype” list. In case you missed it, here’s the video clip, thanks to CBS and Late Show with David Letterman.
Oh how cheesy: Microsoft’s ‘Windows 7′ party ad. But does it work?
Windows 7, Microsoft next computer operating system, is due out Oct. 22. One of the marketing campaigns surrounding this significant software launch is what Microsoft hopes will be a viral video called “Windows 7: Hosting Your Own Launch Party.” It’s so cheesy, but can’t help watching it.

‘Twitter Dat’ music video: Do you ‘tweet’ this much?
Sick of all the Twitter hype? Join the club. Check out this humourous video, Twitter Dat, which reinforces how useless it is to “tweet” everything you’re doing. Do people really care what you’re having for breakfast or how regular your bowel movements are? Enjoy.
Friday chuckle: Grandpa’s GPS unit
We were sent this cute photo entitled “Grandpa’s GPS unit.” LOL. Now I didn’t want to be accused of ageism (after all, my 69 year-old mom, my kid’s grandmother, has been known to play Nintendo Wii on occasion!), so I was going to change the headline to “Hillbilly’s GPS system.” Problem is, this car isn’t a pick-up truck! Enjoy, none-the-less!
