Apple + Sony = Snapple? Welcome to 2005 :-)

Cliff — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 22:01:42 +0000

Well, when I checked the headlines today, I found this gem:

“Apple cash rich; experts nod at possible Sony purchase. Snapple anyone?” (Source: Neowin.net)

Well guess what? I predicted this a few years ago. On April 1st, 2005, to be exact:

“Apple and Sony merge to form Snapple”

It is fun to predict the future… even if it is not true (OK, so I predicted a headline, still not too bad).

Here is a clip, from CES (Consumer Electronics Show) this year, about Bill Gates’ last day at work at Microsoft. Every year a humorous clip was made for Gates’ keynote speech and this year was the the one where they pulled out all the stops (a lot of star power). Watch and enjoy!

We Didn’t Start the Viral

This is a parody of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (the original song is by Billy Joel). It’s a collage of the different viral videos which have travelled the web these past few years and it’s very well done. Enjoy!

Minesweeper: The Movie (Trailer)

Cliff — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:24:30 +0000

I do have to admit that this parody trailer of a movie based on the ubiquitous Minesweeper game (every Windows computer has it) was well done and funny (especially if you have played the game before).

If you use Facebook in any way, you will find this (fake) trailer quite amusing. If you don’t, well get Facebook and you’ll understand.

Leave it to the Aussies to revolutionize the toilet paper industry!

Star Wars: The Emperor Gets a New Job

Cliff — Mon, 28 May 2007 14:14:36 +0000

If you are a fan of Star Wars, you’ll love this short comedic film on what happened to the Emperor after he “died” at the end of Return of the Jedi. Just remember: Beware of the awesome firepower of the fully armed and operational invisible doggie fence…

Here is a little video from SuperNews (http://www.current.tv/supernews). It’s a comical take on the rivalry between the Mac and the PC.

PhD – Piled Higher and Deeper: A Grad Student Comic Strip

Cliff — Sat, 27 Aug 2005 13:01:28 +0000

I came across a wonderful comic strip that succeeds in putting a funny spin on the life of a graduate student (which actually hits right home!). Updated weekly, PhD is a comic strip that each grad student should take a look at. In the end, it makes you feel better and more "accepting" of your situation. Plus the strip gives a little insight to those who maybe be wondering what grad school is like.
