Charlie and the Apple Factory



I've been a faithful Mac since 2006, but wasn't always as sold on Steve Jobs' baby as I once was. Apple products and their fanboys were annoying at one point, mostly because I was too busy playing Icy Tower and Text Twist to want to pay them any mind. Yet, I still was drawn in. Why and how do Steve Jobs and the Mac army make such addicting products? Obviously the marketing is big, but what else makes #teamiPhone so devoted. College Humor takes a stab at why in the video, brewing up a funny parody of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. What Charlie finds in Steve Jobs' factory might make anyone hold off on Mac purchases for a little while. Plus, it's never too late to get a good laugh out of Bill Gates' decade-long fight to get the edge back for Windows. Check out the video on whatever iProduct you have...

Blue's Clues: Remixed



Everyone knows the song to Blue's Clues by heart, or very well should. Blue's Clues was the first kid's show made for slow kids. I say that because they made the clues so obvious that only a blind kid wouldn't be able to get it. That said, it's always been a mystery as to what happened to Steve and his little brother (blank). The show said that Steve went to college, but those of us who read the news know he got mixed up in something a little more adult than that. Even so, these people found a way to explain it, with hilarious results. This is the Christopher Nolan version of Blue's Clues. Taking cues from movies such as Inception and the new Batman series, this remix of Blue's Clues is not for the faint of heart, yet keeps in line with the course of one episode. Enjoy it, and be on the lookout for more blue paw prints...

Hip-Hop Highway?



I know I'm not the only one out there who's fantasized about having an extravagant rap video, where you do some outlandish act like... blocking a highway with a truck and performing a concert. Yesterday, someone made that daydream come true. In Los Angeles, underground hip-hop group Imperial Stars did just that, stopping L.A.'s Highway 101 in the middle of rush hour, ironically on a pretty good day of traffic. The group hired a driver to stop the truck in the middle of the 4-lane highway, and then drive away in another car. The result was over an hour of heavy delays and a memorable hip-hop moment. Check out some video of what happens when hip-hop videos try to be too real...
