You may or may not know about the 2 guys who somehow obtained an iPhone, videoed the smashing of it, then posted to YouTube a couple of days ago. Here’s the video. At the time of this posting, this video had more than 2000 comments, many saying how stupid these guys are. Fine. But what I don’t get, is why people would waist their time to make videos of themselves saying how stupid these guys are… Here’s a few:
Only in China- There’s a story in the Wall Street Journal (full article here [$]) about the pollution problem in Beijing. Here’s an excerpt: “Amid concern about Beijing’s ability to clean up its pollution in time for next year’s Olympics, the city has plans to ban one million cars for a two-week test of its smog-control measures next month. A ban on one-third of the city’s cars is among the measures being considered in preparation for the Games, and could be given a trial run next month, a spokesman from Beijing’s Environmental Protection Agency said.
Speaking of X vs. Y, Opera has a Opera Mini vs. iPhone video spoof. Will be going back to Tim’s 2nd tonight to try some real-menu food. Apple sold 500,000+ iPhones in a 72 hour period. Wow. Impressive. Really… The accessory industry is already coming out with cool accessories like this one from Belkin. Nice work! Can someone provide some guidance as to why one would need to buy this thing?

Tim’s second franchise has opened. This time, it’s more Tex-Mex. Hmm. I was there for the opening, and with my trusty N95, took several photos. They are up on Flickr (note, see post below how to view Flickr in China).
The photo to the right? Got to love a xinjiang band in a tex mex joint! (A friend told me he overheard some other people talking - they thought these guys were mexican!
The guys at symbianguru have great spoofs off Apple’s Mac vs. PC commercials, although this time, its Nokia N95 vs. Apple iPhone. I suggest you watch them. Those of you in China, Typepad (where symbianguru is hosted) is blocked (no surprise), so below are the YouTube links.
N95 vs. iPhone - MMS N95 vs. iPhone - Camera N95 vs. iPhone - Internet N95 vs. iPhone - GPS N95 vs. iPhone - Going to China?
If you’re like me and am in China, behind the “Great (fire)Wall of China), go here: Access Flickr. Note, you need Firefox. IE sucks nads. It seems this plugin is not allowing the flickr photos to show up in my blog though… I’ll look into it to see if there is another way.
