Thought this was pretty amusing.

Hilarious. Watch the excitement as all FIVE people who waited in line get free Zunes! “You get a ZUUUUUUNE!” Yeah, welcome to the social.
It’s exactly like an Apple store but with crappy computers in it. Seriously, what would Microsoft do if Apple suddenly disappeared and wasn’t around to be copied.
It’s like watching someone try to become popular by dressing up exactly like the most popular person in the class.

I haven’t been watching the MLB Baseball Playoffs this year, so this is the stuff I’ve been missing.

Apple’s total market capitalization is currently approximately $186 billion, placing the company behind only Exxon Mobil, Microsoft, and Wal-Mart in market cap rankings of American companies.
Saw this on the Fake Steve Jobs blog. It really looks like a Pixar short film.
It’s Global Handwashing Day so if you ever need a reason to wash your hands, here it is!
ESPN.com: Limbaugh: Checketts approached me
Rush Limbaugh doesn’t seem to understand that being a loudmouth partisan boorish ass might play well to the Republican base, it’s not really something the rest of country wants. The NFL is about sports and entertainment and anything that detracts from the game is a negative.
Not the greatest piece of art, but as a corn maze it’s impressive.
From NYTimes.com: Shazam, Maker of Cellphone App, Draws Investment
Shazam currently offers its application for iPhones and Nokia phones free, but charges for the BlackBerry version. However, by the end of the year, it plans to give all users five free song identifications a month and charge them $4.99 a month if they want unlimited usage and extra features. Shazam will most likely sell other items from within the application, like band tickets and merchandise, and branch into other types of media, like video.
The company is currently profitable now through iTunes referrals. I like the Shazam app for the iPhone, but there’s no way it’s worth $4.99 a month for just song identification. Changing your business model after building your base of customers is very risky.
