instant classic. not only is it a pretty good song by itself - remake of jay-z & alicia keys "empire state of mind" but there's so much more:

> each original star wars trilogy movie gets a verse
> leia plays max rebo's piano from jabba the hutt's palace
> leia's obvious, but still funny dj headphones
> ewoks which are more disturbing that actual ewoks in return of the jedi
> rebel pilots & stormtroopers bust-a-move
> slave leia
> boba fett

Unbelievable Japanese Star Wars TV spot for “sea chicken”

Star Wars has always been popular in Japan, so seeing Luke Skywalker and the gang in a Japanese TV commercial from the 1978 isn’t a big deal. But seeing the Star Wars franchise being used in this fashion to promote “sea chicken” (canned tuna) is just crazy - crazy Japanese TV commercial acting included.

The actors in the TV spot, are just look-alikes.

Interview with Steve Jobs starts at 1:55

Here are my two favorite highlights from the quick Q&A between Steve Jobs and Walt Mossberg:
Why would I pay more for a book from Apple? > "That won't be the case."
Battery Life of 10 hours for reading? > "You're not gonna read for ten hours."

Hitler responds to the Apple iPad

The Downfall meme that will never die... Personally, I can't get enough of these parodies - I'm not sure if it's because Downfall is one of my all-time favorite movies, or because Bruno Ganz does such a spectacular job at playing Hitler, or the scene truly fits as a rant in virtually all situations.

While everyone is loving the iPad, one person who doesn’t like it is Hitler. In the YouTube parody above, which takes that now all-too-common scene from the movie Downfall and replaces the subtitles with a rant against the iPad. It’s the meme that will never die (there are at least 50 Hitler parodies using the same scene with different subtitles).

So what exactly does Hitler have against the iPad?

> “The iPad won’t support multitasking”
> “They didn’t give it a camera, fine. But it’s on AT&T! How am I supposed to use their crappy network?”
“eBooks? If I wanted eBooks, I’d buy a Kindle.”
> “It could have single-handedly destroyed netbooks. But what do we get instead? An oversized iPod Touch!”
> “It can’t even make phone calls!”
> “I wanted to watch videos of lolcats while laying on the couch. But no, they won’t even give it flash support.”

I have the same issues with the iPad, but it’s funnier when Hitler says it
