Apple iPhone Hackers, Here's To You
iPhone hackers of the world, unite! In the battle between Apple and those customers interested in modifying their super-phones, this week Apple drew some blood -- the latest iPhone update relocked any iPhones unlocked by this tutorial. So now is the time for all users to rise up -- or mash up, that is.
Taking the audio from one of Apple's most inspiring (but least grammatically correct) commercials, this video tries to remind Steve Jobs & co. of a time when Apple celebrated those who "think different." Of course, I don't know where Albert Einstein would fall on issues of fair use and intellectual property, so it's a rough comparison. I also kind of wish that there were more to this video than one long continuous scroll down the third-party mods available. It kind of becomes hypnotic after a while, but that's hardly a good thing.
iPhone users interested in sticking it to the man might get more use out of this video explaining how to downgrade their iPhones from 1.1.1 back to 1.0.2. Far more useful, and also far more

Sarah and Jeff's Wedding Video: The Horror Movie Remix
How do you make a wedding video to remember? You might not want to ask Paul Jury of Panda Smash that question. Unless, of course, you want to remember your wedding as a blood-chilling terror fiesta. In which case, talk to Paul Jury. I'm sure he has pointers.
Asked by his friends Sarah and Jeff to edit together their wedding footage, Paul set to the task with enthusiasm... Until, that is, he got bored. So, using tricks reminiscent of the West Side Story zombie spoof, he used the raw footage to craft a trailer that will make you cry... with terror.
Paul did edit a much more traditional version for Sarah and Jeff -- one that didn't result in Sarah being called a whore. But I think I prefer the horror take. After all, marriage? Pretty scary stuff.
