PUNY releases short video on CollegeHumor.com skewering Apple

Local animation studio PUNY (which is behind the animation of Yo Gabba Gabba!) just released a new animated short for collegehumor.com, "Charlie and the Apple Factory," skewering Apple. It's clever, funny, and eye-catching - just what we would expect from PUNY.

Man Walks Into an Apple Store

Man walks into an Apple store to complain about his brand new iPhone 4. What is wrong with it? It keeps face-dialing any time It's held between man's ear and shoulder, which is OK if you are actually trying to make a call. If not, then it's not so great. Here's how the visit went. Read it and learn, in case you ever have to go yourself.

- Heading to the Apple Store to have them check out my iPhone 4 proximity sensor problems.

- My iPhone keeps face-dialing any time I use it held between my ear and shoulder.

- The Apple genius bar guy just watched me replicate the issue.

- Wow. Apple store just told me they can't help me with my brand new iPhone until Apple officially diagnoses the proximity sensor problem.

- They said I was probably holding my iPhone wrong. I've been holding phones for 28 years, so that's bullshit.

- The fact that I replicated the problem right at the Apple Store and still got turned away REALLY concerns me.

- Hey Apple, this is my SIXTH iPhone. I've held the other 5 correctly, so what makes the proximity sensor in this one so different?

- I'm also having the problem with dropping calls if I touch the phone without a case.

- Thanks for being patient with my rant. Must find comfort foods to quell my frustration. Who wants ice cream!?!

We do, we do!

Really Apple? Really?

Months and months of internet rumors, fake photos and outrageous speculations are over - Apple has finally released the deets on their highly anticipated tablet device. Expectations were high and what Steve Jobs gave us this morning at the San Francisco event left a lot of people disappointed (no flash, usb or camera, were some of the biggest complaints).

Interestingly enough, the thing that people complained about the most was the official name of the device - iPad. Clearly, comparisons to a certain female hygiene product were inevitable and local Tweeps had a few things to say about that too:

So, how does iPad sound to you?
