Found Video: "Steve Jobs" and iPhone on SNL
"Steve Jobs" appeared on Saturday Night Live last night to talk about the iPhone and it's even better than we thought. Apparently it holds 2 billion, with a 'b,' songs! And it even has an on/off button and a clock! Oh, yeah, and don't forget to download The Office in iTunes. Thanks Travis!
Found Footage: SNL - Post-It-Notes
It's always nice to see Apple parodies, especially when they: a) have nothing to do with an existing product, or specifically: the iPod, and b) are from the mid-90's. This is a decent SNL spoof that quickly rose up the digg ranks yesterday evening, parodying a fictitious Apple product that's a bit too much disposable overkill for its own good. Enjoy.[via digg]
SNL writers distracted by the PSP
Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudekis recently had a chat with Yahoo! about video games on the set of the show. Surprisingly, the PSP handheld seems to be the system for the writers and staff of the show. "They all have PSPs there running around Liberty City Stories or playing 18 holes on Hot Shots Golf. Now that PSP is out everyone can play the same game in the same room and you don't have to have a TV."It appears that his favorite games on the handheld come mostly from Sony's excellent launch with the system: Burnout Legends, Twisted Metal Head-On, and Hot Shot Golf. His top game on the PSP is Lumines (great choice, my man!).Those of you that are interested in joining the SNL cast one day better start getting your PSPs revved up.
Wii looks to pump you up
According to IGN, Nintendo just might be trying to get you off of the couch and into a workout routine with the Wii, doing for your body what Brain Age on the DS did for your mind. They found this news via Bloomberg, which claims that Nintendo is in the process of making new diet-based software for the console.This idea sounds about right, but in what way could they guarantee an actual fitness experience through use of the Wiimote? Would they try to market another peripheral for the console or would the player just jog in place, for instance? Sure, we could imagine the Wiimote playing a role in some kind of exercise routine where stretching was a major aspect or perhaps some kind of yoga variant, but we know that is in no way going to pump you up.[Via Joystiq]
Wiill Ferrell tests Wii accelerometer technology [update 1]
Some more late-night silliness as the empty coffee cups pile up and finals draw nearer. Someone set this thing to music on YTMND, please. Preferably, "Don't Fear the Wiiper," in homage to the classic SNL skit from whence this iconic and holy animation descended and blessed the internets. [Update 1: that didn't take long at all.] [Thanks, Allen; via Revolution Report]
HDTV Listings for April 1, 2006
What we're watching: Final Four time, and still George Mason's run continues. Can they get to the final game? We'll find out tonight at 6 on CBS. If you can possibly tear yourself away from some of the best hoops action in history, Jeremy Piven's Journey of a Lifetime seems very interesting as the Entourage star takes a trip through India, first of a two parter and debuting tonight on Discovery-HD.After our April Fools joke earlier, we'll be perfectly honest, we are watching the Saturday Night Live repeat in high definition tonight because Scarlett Johansson is incredibly hot.

Free SNL video available on iTunes
iTunes and NBC have made available, for free download, a digital short that appeared on last weekend's Saturday Night Live. Called 'Lazy Sunday,' it is a rap video starring Adam Samberg and Chris Parnell as they rap their way to a screening of the 'Chronicles of Narnia,' and in the process eat a bunch of cupcakes. It is the funniest thing I have seen on SNL in a long, long time and well worth the price (oh, right it is free!).What a great Christmas present, thanks Apple and NBC!
iPod Invisa for sale on Ebay

Here it is pictured next to an iPod mini.The funny part is that the auction is up to $50US (at the time of this posting) across 12 bids. It was a skit, people. If you're that eager to give up fifty bucks, I'll take it.
