Found Footage: Three iPhones, one video

by Mike Schramm (May 17th, 2011)

This video, called Trapped in an Phone (watchable after the break), is pretty ingenious. Artists Ronen Verbit and Vanya Polunin apparently took three different videos and assembled them to play on three different iPhones, both standing on their own and moved around as they play to fit different ...

Found Footage: mashup fun with the iPad, iPhone and iMovie

by Brett Terpstra (Jan 2nd, 2011)

Here's a fun one for the first Sunday of 2011. Ellen Hinton (Ellen Once Again) found herself talking with family and friends about how the iPad and iPhone were more than just "toys" and decided to prove it. With a MIDI interface, an array of music apps and a little time in iMovie ... well, read on ...

Found Footage: An iPad-controlled robot that attacks

by Kelly Hodgkins (Dec 18th, 2010)

Thanks to the iPad and TouchOSC, robot Hikari can now be controlled by our favorite tablet device. The system for control on the iPad is powered by TouchOSC, a remote control application that sends commands to an external device using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol. These commands are ...

MacBook Air versus PowerBook 145B video smackdown

by Steven Sande (Dec 9th, 2010)

The oldsters at TUAW (yeah, I'm one of 'em) just love it when someone does a comparison of some nice new shiny Apple technology with Michael Spindler-era Apple products. Today's example comes from TUAW reader and Duke University sociology professor Kieran Healy, who kept the PowerBook 145B that ...

Found Footage: Steve Jobs demonstrates NeXT Step

by Dave Caolo (Nov 30th, 2010)

Here's a great piece of Apple history. In this video (check it out after the break), Steve Jobs gives a demonstration of a NeXT computer. You'll remember that Steve formed NeXT in 1995 after being ousted from Apple. Years later, in 1996, Apple purchased NeXT after Steve's return. Much of the current ...

Found Footage: Injection molding process for the Glif

by Michael Rose (Nov 30th, 2010)

Over the holiday weekend, we noted that the Glif is now available for ordering (although it's not shipping quite yet). The iPhone 4 stand / tripod mount gadget is a triple threat: functional, attractively designed and the owner of a great backstory. The Glif guys wanted to share the experience of ...

Found Footage: The Woz on how Apple got its name

by David Winograd (Nov 29th, 2010)

For all you trivia buffs who may not know the real story, TV Deck has posted a short video where the Woz explains exactly how Apple got its name. An amazing thing is that Steve Wozniak didn't really know himself until recently. The quality of the video isn't the best, but for all you completists, ...

Found Footage: iPhone concert on the B train

by Michael Rose (Oct 15th, 2010)

It's time for another installment of our favorite viral program, "Bands You've Never Heard Of Play A Song On Their iPhones." In this case, the band is Brooklyn's Atomic Tom, the song is the decidedly catchy Take Me Out, and the performance is live on the 6th Avenue line of the New York City ...

Found Footage: Chinese Steve Jobs clone intros new iPhone app

by Steven Sande (Oct 14th, 2010)

The amazing presentation skills of Steve Jobs have been the topic of many articles, but it's downright rare to see an entire press event done by a Steve Jobs clone -- especially one who is speaking in Chinese. The press conference in question was held yesterday in Hong Kong to celebrate the ...

Found Footage: The $900 'Mac Pro' in a cardboard box

by Steven Sande (Oct 5th, 2010)

Plato said, "Necessity is the mother of all inventions." He must have been talking about the guys at One Block Off the Grid, which is a cooperative of sorts for buying photovoltaic solar panels at a group discount. One of their staff members was running into issues trying to run Adobe After ...

Found Footage: Woz on Big Bang Theory

by Dave Caolo (Oct 1st, 2010)

Nerds squealed with delight last night as the geekiest comedy on American television, The Big Bang Theory, featured a cameo by Steve Wozniak. The Apple co-founder played himself in a brief scene with the gang from the show (Is that his daughter next to him at the table?). He was pretty funny and ...

Found Footage: A look at European FaceTime ads

by Steven Sande (Sep 27th, 2010)

Apple's advertising for the FaceTime video chat feature on the iPhone 4 is emotional and effective, and now the ads are making it to the European market. All of the ads are backed with the universally-known voice of Louis Armstrong singing "When You're Smiling," and there is no audible dialog, so ...

Found Footage: A clever iPod nano name badge

by Steven Sande (Sep 17th, 2010)

Although my Apple addiction usually means that I have to run out and buy whatever new shiny thing has flown out of Cupertino, I've been able to resist getting one of the new iPod nanos. My iPhone plays music and movies, and I don't wear watches, so I really haven't been impressed. Until now, ...

Found Footage: iPod touch 4G goes head to head with iPhone 4

by Mike Schramm (Sep 15th, 2010)

A site called Letem Svetem Applem has put together some performance comparison videos with the iPhone 4 and the new iPod touch, and the results may surprise you. In the startup speed test, the iPad actually beat all of the other iDevices, and the new iPod touch barely beats the iPhone 4 (but all ...

No Comment: Newsday's iPad TV ad is awfully buggy

by Michael Rose (Sep 10th, 2010)

Update: It appears Newsday has had to pull the video (embed left for posterity below). Rumor has it Apple forced them to do it. Which is sad. There are certainly advantages to having your morning newspaper in iPad format: dynamic media, rapid updating, search and more... but not every aspect of ...
