IT THOUGHT OF THE DAY » Videos http://www.ITThoughtOfTheDay.com Sat, 11 Sep 2010 15:18:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 iPhone Loving (Video) http://www.ITThoughtOfTheDay.com/2010/06/19/iphone-loving-video/ http://www.ITThoughtOfTheDay.com/2010/06/19/iphone-loving-video/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 13:10:43 +0000 Scott Coughlin http://www.ITThoughtOfTheDay.com/2010/06/19/iphone-loving-video/ Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> In honor of next week’s iPhone 4 launch by Apple, I thought that I would comb through YouTube and see what sort of iPhone loving videos have been posted before.  What I found did not disappoint in the least!  As I suspected, people sure do love their iPhones – enough to make hundreds of videos expressing such for the world to see!

I usually feature comedy on Saturdays.  In the past, I have featured jokes, comics, cartoons, and news on the weekends.  Sometimes I include comics, stories, games, and photos.  By far, though, humor and especially videos with Information Technology (IT) themes have been the most popular.  So I have gone back to this endless well of laughs!  I simply cannot get enough of comedy videos!

For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up.  It is called “iPhone Love”… It is by invisibleSHIELD and it just plain funny!

The most humorous part of all of this is that it is all so true.  Some of the jokes hit a bit close to home! 

I hope that I gave you a chuckle to make your weekend a little brighter.  I will be back Monday with more serious topics!

What did you think of the video?  Funny? Do you know of any other similar movies or clips?  Please share.

That is my Information Technology Thought of the Day (ITTOD) for June 19, 2010.

For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up.  It is called “Buy a Mac”… It is by Apple Computers and compiled by nahu090yt. It is a seven minute compilation of the first 15 classic commercials from this campaign.  I am sure that with a little YouTube searching, you could easily find the entire series of commercials.

I hope that I gave you a good chuckle to make your weekend a little more meaningful.  I will be back Monday with more serious IT topics!

I will miss this ad campaign.

For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up.  It is called “STS-132 Underway – Atlantis Heads to Space Station”… It is by NASAtelevision and it the official launch video for Atlantis’ final flight. Obviously, we owe a huge load of debt to NASA for the motivation, innovation, and determination that is responsible for so much of our Information Age and Information Technology.

I hope that I gave you a tear of nostalgia to make your weekend a little more meaningful.  I will be back Monday with more serious IT topics!

God Speed, Atlantis.  Thanks for the memories!

For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up.  It is called “Dilbert: Different Situations and MBA”… It is by Scott Adam’s and it just plain funny and frighteningly accurate.  If MBAs are too close to home for you, you can just think, “IT Consultant” and it will be just as funny!

 

I hope that I gave you a chuckle to make your weekend a little brighter.  I will be back Monday with more serious topics!

For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up.  It is called “NewsTopia – Google Street View”… It is by NewsTopia and placed on YouTube by Yyookkyy and it just plain funny and frighteningly accurate.  NewsTopia is an Australian sketch comedy show.  They have a great write up on Wikipedia.

The most humorous part of all of this is that it is all so true.  Some of the jokes hit a bit close to home! 

I hope that I gave you a chuckle to make your weekend a little brighter.  I will be back Monday with more serious topics!
