This is so far the best thing I’ve come across on the internet this Halloween. Magician Simon Pierro has created an amazing Halloween edition of his unique iPad magic “blending his special brand of prestidigitation with carefully constructed digital wizardry”, as put into words by Mashable. According to the source, he spent 10 weeks putting together this video.

This is so far the best thing I’ve come across on the internet this Halloween. Magician Simon Pierro has created an amazing Halloween edition of his unique iPad magic “blending his special brand of prestidigitation with carefully constructed digital wizardry”, as put into words by Mashable. According to the source, he spent 10 weeks putting together this video.

Pierro told Mashable:

“Luckily my iOS programmer Masashi Beheim again joined the project. It took him more than 100 hours of programming this time, being as fanatical about details as I am,”

“I came up with the idea to tell a story about a killer and together with my magic colleague Thomas Fraps we decided to take the clown as the usual suspect.”

Go ahead and take a look at his Halloween masterpiece below:

With a lot of talent and the iPad app “Brushes”, animator Shawn Harris used his iPad to hand sketch a music video to the song “Undivided” by Blush.

The sketch took a ton of effort and the whole video was sketched frame-by-frame on the iPad. 30 brush strokes created one second of animation and 7,000 brush strokes created the entire video. Amazing.

Looks like Apple has released a new iPad 2 ad.

Like the previous ad (We Believe), this video focuses on the emotional connection between the iPad and the user.

The ad is entitled “If you asked”. Check it out:

The iPad 2 is thinner compared to the original iPad, and part of this is due to the thickness of the glass being reduced by 27%. Other factors include thinner batteries and tapered edges in the iPad 2 design.

What’s remarkable is the iPad 2′s thinner glass is also much stronger compared to the original iPad, as seen in the following tests performed by iFixYouri. The iPad 2′s glass ... Read More]]>

What’s remarkable is the iPad 2′s thinner glass is also much stronger compared to the original iPad, as seen in the following tests performed by iFixYouri. The iPad 2′s glass is also much more flexible, too.

Kudos to the reviewer for not slicing his fingers open with this test. Check it out below:

Looking for a strong blender? Consider one from Blendtec, as they are notorious for making viral videos to spread the Blendtec brand. Their latest video that’s now up on their YouTube channel features its latest victim–the iPad 2. Will it blend?

Tom is invited to the introduction to the new iPad 2. But as great as it is, Tom shows Steve Jobs how the Blendtec Total Blender can handle even the greatest of inventions.

Check out the video below, that features a special guest (and don’t breath in that iPad 2 dust!):

[Blendtec, Thanks Martin!]

Conan O’Brien had a great time poking fun at the iPad 2. Now, the LA-based company JLE Productions has created yet another hilarious “banned” promo video, this time involving the iPad 2.

You can check it out below, and let me know what you think of it!

Update 1: Added YouTube rip of this video.

Conan O’Brien is the king of late night television. Yesterday, TeamCoco focused their efforts on Apple’s release of iPad 2, and made a video about it. It’s pretty funny, with some hilarious jabs at Cupertino. I’m not going to ruin the ending, so you’ll just have to watch it below.

There is a Canadian television show on CBC called Dragons’ Den that has been quite popular over the last few years. The show features Canadian entrepreneurs attempting to sell their ideas to five wealthy Canadian “dragons”.

There is a Canadian television show on CBC called Dragons’ Den that has been quite popular over the last few years. The show features Canadian entrepreneurs attempting to sell their ideas to five wealthy Canadian “dragons”.

The dragons in the show are clever business people who are looking to invest their cash in the next big idea. When the dragons reject an idea, they say “I’m out”. On average, the Canadian investors on the show reject more ideas than they invest in, making an accepted idea very exciting.

The Canadian version of the show is very amusing, but like most of Canadian reality television, there was a UK version first.

Seen below is a parody of the BBC version of Dragons’ Den where Apple CEO Steve Jobs attempts to pitch his iPad idea to the Dragons. Do they buy-in? Is the iPad a good idea to invest in? Let’s take a look!

I should’ve posted this video sooner, but didn’t get around to watching it until earlier this evening. It’s a hilarious spoof of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video (with some well rehearsed dance moves!) but with a twist: it’s a showdown between iPads versus iPhones.

I should’ve posted this video sooner, but didn’t get around to watching it until earlier this evening. It’s a hilarious spoof of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video (with some well rehearsed dance moves!) but with a twist: it’s a showdown between iPads versus iPhones.

What’s makes this video awesome is how it integrates twitter humour and the fact it’s produced well. Created by the Pantless Knights, it’s definitely worth watching:

Want to sing along the second time around? Here are the lyrics:

LYRICS:
I told you, don’t write no more letters to me
Don’t wanna read no more, You know I’m A.D.D.
I start to watch Glee, it’s really fast on 4G
So tweet it, just tweet it
You better type, you better do it real fast
Don’t go above the 140 letter max
Remember some devices do not support Flash
So tweet it, while you’re clearin your cache!
CHORUS
Just tweet it, tweet it, tweet it, tweet it
Justin Bieber gets defeated!
We’re all micro-bloggers, with a device
In YouTube comments, we win the fights
Just tweet it, tweet it
Just tweet it, tweet it
Just tweet it, tweet it
Just tweet it, tweet it
You wanna go beyond emoticon frowns
Don’t wanna use a gun, your twitter gets a round
You’re Siskel and you’re Ebert, please don’t put your thumbs down
So Tweet it, just tweet it
You got an iPhone and you gotta be glad
Until you saw your Dad whip out his new iPad
You want an iPatch, gonna be the new fad
So Tweet it, cuz you gotta beat Dad!
CHORUS
[Guitar Solo]
CHORUS
Tweet it, tweet it, tweet it, tweet it
Kids with A.D.D. can read it
Show ‘em, they’re hungry, for your insight
It doesn’t matter, if you can’t write
Tweet it, tweet it, tweet it, tweet it
Get this hashtag retweeted!
Trends that keep rockin’, with you all night
ROTFL from Pantless Knights!

SamsungMobile just recently uploaded a new clip to its YouTube channel about the new in-the-works Samsung Galaxy Tab.

To all those who don’t know what this is, it isn’t the new Galaxy Vibrant Smartphone that Bell is offering or the rumoured Galaxy Apollo mobile phone that Telus might offer.

SamsungMobile just recently uploaded a new clip to its YouTube channel about the new in-the-works Samsung Galaxy Tab.

To all those who don’t know what this is, it isn’t the new Galaxy Vibrant Smartphone that Bell is offering or the rumoured Galaxy Apollo mobile phone that Telus might offer. The Galaxy Tab is an alternative to the already well-known iPad (you probably know what this is since you’re here).

One of the main differences between the Tab and the iPad is the accessibility of a dedicated App store. What’s a smart device without the use of applications? We all know that when running iPhone/iPod Touch apps on the iPad, the graphics are just forcibly made bigger unless the developer decided to revamp their app.

It’s to be noted that W.P. Hong, director of mobile products for Samsung, said “Since we emphasized portability and mobility, our determination was to apply smart phone platform instead of tablet platform.”

Does this mean that they won’t spend much time asking developers to update their applications for tablet sizes? An extra growing pain that Samsung has that wasn’t much of a problem for Apple is the inability to contact app developers directly. With Apple’s structure of everything being done within one company, developers have a much smoother experience than having to go over the hurdles of Google (Android) and again with Samsung (Galaxy Tab).

With all this said though, the video shows the Galaxy Tab as a pretty sweet device. Having an awesome interface, camera, and video calling, the Tab is worth a look at. Competition will only make the iPad evolve into something awesome no? I definitely wouldn’t mind trying one of these Tabs…
