Pull My Finger, Seinfeld, and Gates
Go Ahead, Pull My Finger
By Robert Lachman
After cruising the internet and making a stop at Your Mac Life and I noticed Shawn’s note how Apple is getting a little picky about which applications they’ll allow onto to the iTunes Apples store. Some they deem, are not appropiate. I guess Apple will make all decisions on what is appropriate for us to have on our iPhones and iPod Touch. According to the CNET post by Tom Krazit, “Apple apparently doesn't think fart jokes are very funny.”
“The developer of Pull My Finger, an iPhone application, told MacRumors that Apple decided to reject his application from the iTunes Store because it was ‘of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community.’ Pull My Finger does pretty much what you would expect it to do, generating about five or six different sounds of flatulence from your iPhone depending on your preference.”
Bill meet Jerry
I thought Bill Gates retired. I guess he didn’t spend his time off taking acting lessons. Gates has paired up with comedian, Jerry
Seinfeld to star in the new Microsoft commercial. It’s supposed to be warm, fuzzy and hilarious Microsoft. One thing for sure, it doesn’t work for me. It is just awkward and stupid. I would never picture Bill and Jerry hanging out the mall. It’s not warm, in fact it’s all wet, it ain’t fuzzy and it ain’t funny. Nice try. People buy microsoft products for business, they have the market cornered with the software and networking, and because their laptops and desktop computers are cheaper. I don’t know, I have a hard time believing Bill Gates is a platinum Clown Club card carrying member at Shoe Circus. The only real question for me, did they use a stunt double for Gates when he gave Seinfeld, “The Signal,” by adjusting his shorts while walking away in the parking lot? Oh yeah, I can picture Bill and Jerry walking away chatting, carrying their shopping bags in a parking lot. What’s the problem, were their chauffeur driven limos unable to pick them up?
No one is going to buy a new laptop based on seeing a commercial of Bill Gates buying shoes at the make believe Shoe Circus.
