Done by Mahalo Daily, this shows the recent Keynote in 60 seconds. I think I like the Apple TV (take 2) with the combined rentals, very cool!

Also the new Macbook Air - Wow!

Google’s new mobile platform, Android, may revolutionize the way we use phones tomorrow. Here are a couple of videos demonstrating how Android works.

Cool apps that surprise and delight mobile users, built by developers like you, will be a huge part of the Android vision. To support you in your efforts, Google has launched the Android Developer Challenge, which will provide $10 million in awards — no strings attached — for great mobile apps built on the Android platform.

MSDOS 5 – Microsoft

Let’s talk about the nerd era.. better yet, let’s watch it.

From YouTube:

Found this in the back room of my old job. It was titled “YO MS Raps!” MS-DOS 5.0 was the first version available in a retail package. Looks like MS spent a few $$$ to produce the effects in this video to promote it.

Just an entertaining link.

And wait about 10 secs.. (or until something happens). You won’t be disappointed!

It was brought to my attention by Chris Pirillo, thanks!

Gmail Collaborative Video – Final Cut

Pete — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 12:24:55 +0000

About a month ago Google put out a video on YouTube asking for the public’s help to send them some videos of creative ways Gmail travels around the world. After a huge amount of submissions, they got a final cut released.

They put a map (using Google Maps API) up on the blog showing where all the submissions came from, pretty amazing!

Google Maps just got better – Draggable directions!

Pete — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:00:50 +0000

Google is on a roll! My favorite map tool just got better with some cool features!
You can now drag your route (blue line) using different roads than the ones chosen automatically by Google. You can add destinations and it will all get sorted out for you nice and neat.

I’m totally loving it! Watch the Google Maps video introducing some of the new features:

Microsoft’s new toy – Surface

Pete — Wed, 30 May 2007 11:05:28 +0000

Microsoft launches their newest innovation called Surface. It’s their first surface computer providing interaction with digital content using hand gestures, touching and physical objects.

There are some more video examples on the use of it on Microsoft website, really cool stuff, although I think its target right now are commercial applications.

Coca Cola giving a little love

Pete — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 15:18:29 +0000

Found this today and thought it was pretty cool. Coca Cola takes a violent game like GTA (Grand Theft Auto) and puts it’s own spin on it. Definitely worth the view.
