The Microsoft iPod video
This video is so funny. According to Scoble, Microsoft has confirmed that it was responsible for the video. This is great. I always believed that the sense of humor starts from self-sarcasm. It’s refreshing. The iPodObserver has the story.

Amazon S3

“Love Monkey” 🙁
One of the very few shows I watch on the US TV (Love Monkey) has been cancelled 🙁 I can’t understand.
