I’ve heard of them but knew next to nothing about them. And they are damn cute.

I’ve always thought these kinds of comparisons were ridiculous but Stern makes this video more enjoyable than it has any right to be.

What starts off as a perfectly normal safety video turns kinda weird quickly.

Watching this makes me wonder how long it would take me before I threw up.

This might the best video you watch all weekend.

CBS News: When Andy Mitchell spotted a young man in a fast food uniform walking along the side of a road on a 95-degree summer day in Rockwall, Texas, he felt compelled to pull over. He rolled down his window … Continued

In honour of Canada Day, here is a fun list of “Canadian” food, some of which I didn’t even know where specific to Canada. How many have you tried? I’ve had all but six.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to call the iPhone the most influential product of the 21st century so far. Something may come along in the next eighty years to supplant it but right now, its importance can’t be overstated.

As someone who relies on GPS to even leave the house, I’m familiar with waypoints but I had no idea the names of the ones used in the sky were so whimsical.

Obviously, every Canadian knows how to do this.

Rewatching the video reminds me of the insane excitement of the launch. I doubt we’ll ever see another product that generates this level of enthusiasm in such a wide range of people.

This guy is doing stunts on a scooter I didn’t even know were possible. Stick around for the final stunt he pulls. Incredible.

Do. Not. Want.

This piece is in response to Joshua Topolsky’s ridiculous assertion on Twitter that, “If you think you can replace your laptop with an iPad, you cannot.”

ZDNet: What surprises me isn’t how popular the iPhone is now, but that it survived the first couple of years to become the influential cash-generating machine that it has become. I’m just going to come out and say it — … Continued

Minor quibbles aside, it’s hard to disagree with the criticism in the embedded video.

Actually, you probably do know about most of them but there might be one or two gems here you haven’t discovered yet.

The full history of the iPhone has yet to be written but it’s remarkable how much this one device has literally changed the world in the previous ten years.

I’m not usually a fan of remakes but Franklin’s incredible version of the song blows away the original.

I’m looking to replace my older iPad with a Pro for the reasons Carlson lists in his piece. It really is very close to being a Mac replacement for some photographers.

I didn’t appreciate the awesomeness of olive oil until I spent a month in Italy. I thought putting it on a piece of bread like butter would be greasy and disgusting. Turns out, it’s a little piece of heaven.

In the embedded video, look for a (hairless!) yours truly at 2:15.

Canada turns 150 years old next week and this page highlights some great apps made by my fellow Canadians.

Stick with the video to the end for the classic joke about Canadians.

Did you know dry cleaning isn’t actually dry?

Memories is actually fun to play around with and incredibly easy to use. Typical of Apple, what is a difficult, time consuming process has been turned into a simple, one tap effort that yields some pretty cool results.

For those of us old enough to remember SCSI (shudder), FireWire promised to free us from the black art of connecting devices to our computers. The story of its life and eventual death is an interesting one.

This is a surprisingly complicated procedure involving dozens, if not hundreds of people.

I was working for one of those four guys at the time – David Pogue. So I got to see a demo of the iPhone in Pogue’s car as we drove him to the airport the week before the iPhone launch date. Apple was pissed when they found out.

I knew Lee had fought “for real” many times but didn’t know any of it had been filmed. This is obviously an exhibition and Lee is showing off but you can still see how incredibly fast and agile the man was.
