1. YouTube Wednesday – 1 Infinite Skynet, Cupertino

   4 Comments Donnie Darko - 6th January 2010 - YouTube Wednesday

   Welcome to the Parrot AR.Drone, an out of the box remote control helicopter (or rather, quadricopter) controlled by your iPhone. The unit operates on the same wifi network as the operator, but if the user had a portable wifi unit like a Verizon Mifi they could theoretically go for a walk with it.

   This futuristic app [...]

2. YouTube Weekly – Japan, WTF?

   3 Comments Donnie Darko - 27th December 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   What’s cooler than finding your app on an Apple ad? Finding it being played by a talking dog on a Japanese ad. User MooCowMusic says,
   “As creator of the app in the ad (Pianist), and being completely unaware that the ad even existed, I am extremely pleased you posted this video and made my day. Thanks!”

   I [...]

   Oh that Woz, he has marketing panache.

   It’s a ten!

4. YouTube Wednesday: Apple Aerobics

   6 Comments Donnie Darko - 17th November 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   Has your iPods hard drive carked it? Pissed off with Apple? Try tossing it 154 yards (140 metres). This dude can.
   What’s up with that shirt?

   Think that’s cool? Bet you can’t catch a laptop with your butt.
   Viral videos really are getting out of hand, still can’t work out if this is fake or real – thoughts?

   And [...]

5. YouTube Round Up: iPhone Wishlist Fetishism

   3 Comments Donnie Darko - 7th November 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   Expose.
   MobileExpose is soon to be released on Cydia (the underworld app store for shady jailbreaking types) and although currently unavailable it will apparently be available for download soon.

   Dashboard widgets.
   Unfortunately just a concept, but completely plausible. The UI elements suggested here look utterly sound to me, I want it.
   ¹I personally think Apple should sell (desktop) dashboard [...]

6. YouTube Thursday – Pirates of the Silicon Valley

   0 Comments Donnie Darko - 1st October 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   Something I only realised lately was that the entire film Pirates of Silicon Valley is now on YouTube, in 10 parts.
   This film documents the rise of the personal computer through the rivalry between Apple Computer (Steve Jobs) and Microsoft (Bill Gates). I won’t embed the entire film here but I’ll show the trailer first..

   As I [...]

7. YouTube Thursday – Carpe Diem

   7 Comments Donnie Darko - 24th September 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   I’m going to do something a little untraditional here..
   Sometimes you should turn off the Mac, ignore the RSS and Twitter streams and just go outside and live life.
   Here’s some visual food for thought.

   Shot entirely with a Canon 5D mark II this music video has really blown my mind today, encompassing multiple possible storylines in accordance [...]

8. YouTube Thursday – iThink therefore iDesign

   1 Comments Donnie Darko - 3rd September 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   The notoriously exclusive popular cult image bookmarking site “FFFFOUND!” now has an app. Even if you don’t have an invite to the site yet, be sure to give it a look for daily inspiration. Also of note: the Cooliris* app can navigate FFFFOUND! for free, and the Buamai app is also quite cool, for the [...]

9. YouTube Wednesday – Apptastic

   0 Comments Donnie Darko - 26th August 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

   There’s been some interesting displays developed for the app store recently, by none other than Apple themselves – check it out..

   This was a special series of screens displayed at the latest WWDC, back in June of this year. Apparently it was to display real time purchases, although I think it’s probably a fake like the [...]

10. YouTube Wednesday – Blast From the Past

    1 Comments Donnie Darko - 12th August 2009 - YouTube Wednesday

    It’s time to go back to the future past, and catch up on some golden archival material.

    This video seriously blows my mind. It’s almost too silly to be an actual ad.
    What a completely goofy and strange ad overall, from that mid 90’s period where Job’s had been ousted and Woz ‘n’ Sculley were running things. [...]
