To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

Some kind of funny, just because its so ridiculous. And un Apple. Looks more like a Windows announcement.
I really prefer:
-"It's an iHouse!"
-"But there's no Windows!"
-"Exactly MuaHaHaHaHaHaH!!"

thats more of a rip on pres bush isnt it? irack sounds like iraq, 20,00 more troops like money...lots of similarites...no plan...its kinda rippin on the war

You guys aren't getting i they are making fun of Prez Bush. Instead of taking out the soldiers in Iraq he puts more in, hence the term iRack-Iraq. So get the joke before you bash it. Personally I thought that this skit was very clever but not really that funny.

I actually liked this. I've seen a lot of hate-comments since it aired, and I guess I found the last one they did (the iPhone) a bit more funny, but for political satire, this one really isn't all that bad.

I can't believe that this is a forum for Apple geeks and nobody yet has recognized the fact that the "iBook" that is shown in the skit is really a PowerBook. I guess they had trouble finding one or had difficulties reading the writing underneath the screen? But I guess it is just a skit and its primary goal was to make fun of Bush’s plan not showcasing Apple’s products, which by the way would have made it so much better. ☺

This is a pun on apple & Iraq situation. When Apple releases a product some people criticize it & it is sometime sunstable. Also Steve J is bush, That Apple Spokeswoman is probably laura bush, The audience is the American public & the new products well... u get it.
VERY IMPORTANT: STEVE JOBS IS A DEMOCRAT

heh this was a very funny skit at the start and then I love how it changed into a dig at George Bush. Clever.

Ah, MadTV!
Masterful, as always:
"There IS no exit... strategy."
That's a milk shooting out the nose line, with that precise timing.
