Apple Intro Video

Humorous Fake Apple “i” Products

iGevalt: Apple’s new data recovery program. It doesn’t work particularly well, as the software has a tendency to dramatically throw up its hand and sulk in the corners of your desktop so you’ll feel guilty about having forgotten to properly perform your backups.

iVey: The companion software to the iGevalt, the iVey (also known as the iVeyIstMir in early product releases), is the next generation of Getting Things Done. It reminds you about all your appointments at least a day after you’ve missed them.

iProd: Moving well beyond the GTD methodology into actual reward/punishment reinforcement. Available in 30 Gigavolt and 80 Gigavolt models.

iCarumba: Software that actually will eat your short s. Not for use with donuts. D’oh!

iiiLucy: An iLife add-in that not only translates your error messages to Spanish, but adds illuminating commentary such as ‘What have you done this time!?"

iiiiCanta-y-no-llores: The newest and best Garage Band plug-in, adding a Latin touch to all your compositions.

iSpy: Not an actual or theoretical Apple product. A very decent 1960’s TV thriller with Bill Cosby and Robert Culp. Not available on iTunes.

Acid Trip Would’ve Helped Bill Gates

"I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft
are a bit narrow. He’d be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or
gone off to an ashram when he was younger." – Steve Jobs
