If you’re old enough to remember the “My Buddy” doll commercials from the 1980’s, you should be highly amused by this iPad game ad.

It’s for an iPad app called Steve Young Football, the commercial doesn’t give you much of an idea of what the game is about but that’s sort of besides the point because it’s amusing enough on it’s own. It’s a great spoof on the My Buddy commercials and also has some hilarious lyrics.

Other than having a funny commercial, the object of Steve Young Football is to defend a football galaxy against wild pigs tornados, crazy fans, and assorted other madness. It actually looks like an entertaining game, but the commercial definitely takes the cake for entertainment. If this doesn’t sell an iPad game, I don’t know what will.

Here’s a Mac heartbreaker: a motorcycle enthusiast went for a ride carrying his MacBook Pro 13″ in a backpack, unfortunately the zipper holding the MacBook Pro in place failed going a reported 195mph (315km/h)!

it was a nice Sunday afternoon and the boys wen out for a ride… on some damn powerful motorcycles…

One of them took his brand new MabBook Pro 13″ on his standard back pack…

When testing the bike at 315km/h [195mph], the backpack zip started to fail… and all of the sudden, the macbook flew trough the air… landing on the side of the road, beginning a series of turns and crushes from about 150 meters… while being torn apart.

The aluminum is really bent up and even cracked in some places, the screen is completely destroyed, and there was some internal damage. Obviously the damage is pretty severe, but amazingly enough there is a slightly happy ending: the machine still boots when hooked to an external monitor!

the best part… we try to make it work again…. and we could!!!
the hard disk, motherboard and superdrive survived! and with an external monitor, keyboard/mouse and new ddr3 memory modules… it booted!!

What a bummer about the MacBook Pro, but the fact that it can still boot is pretty impressive, you’ve got to give credit to the tough aluminum shell. The quotes are from and more pictures are at NeoWin Forums, thanks for sending this in Kevin!

If you’re using a Windows 7 machine, why not make it look like Mac OS X? This task is made very easy with a theme/skin set called the Snow Transformation Pack, it turns your Windows 7 theme into a very convincing near complete Mac OS X interface including icons, wallpapers, the Dock, sounds, dialogue boxes, login screen, window skin, and more.

The Snow Transformation pack is freeware and available to download here

Of course if you’re this obsessed with Mac OS, you should probably just buy a Mac and save yourself from the burden of Windows 7 and trying to skin it to look like a Mac, right?

Why does Steve Jobs always wear turtlenecks?

Because suits have too many buttons.

Corny, but so fitting since Steve Jobs does indeed enjoy the turtleneck and has an obvious dislike for unnecessary buttons. Thank you to Eric for sending this in.

12 years of Steve Jobs… always wearing the quintessential black long sleeved shirt, jeans, and some sneakers. I love how laid back this guy is, can you think of any other CEO of a comparably popular company dressing so casually? He’s definitely got a distinct wardrobe, even when he visits Apple Store openings.

Thanks to Chris for sending this in!

You know you’re an Apple addict when you start measuring time by the iPhone release cycles. I found this comic pretty funny, it looks like something out of a newspaper but I am unsure of it’s original source. Thanks to Daniel for sending this in!

President Obama uses a MacBook Pro 15″ with antiglare screen, and it looks like the entire White House staff uses Macs too.

The top picture is from a White House video and the other of White House staff is from Fortune. It’s not just Macs that the White House is crazy over, the iPad has also become very popular in the current administration, according to CBS News:

Practically everyone has an iPad — or will have one very soon.

Emanuel just got his, as did senior adviser David Axelrod and deputy press secretary Bill Burton. Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer and press wrangler Ben Finkenbinder each have one on order. Economic adviser Larry Summers takes his to staff meetings.

The device is the hot, new White House toy, a gizmo that is popping up around Washington but seems to be particularly in vogue at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The irony in all of this of course is that President Obama recently made the following comment about iPods and iPads being distracting:

“With iPods and iPads, and Xboxes and PlayStations — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation.”

I’m sure members of the White House just uses their Macs and iPads for work though… no Facebook, Angry Birds, or StarCraft 2 in those long West Wing meetings… suuuuuuuure.

Here’s the corniest joke you’ll see all day: rename your iPhone or iPad to “The Titanic”, and every time you go to sync the device with iTunes it will say: “Syncing The Titanic” – oooh boy.

Thanks to Ian S. for sending this in!

Want to quickly end a phone call on iPhone 4? No problem, just press this self-installed End Call button decal! OK I doubt this would work, and in fact it would probably prevent the bars and calls from dropping, but it’s amusing nonetheless.

We just got this picture in our inbox, the sender didn’t provide a source but the picture is definitely funny. It looks like it’s supposed to be a parody of something available on the Apple site and I highly doubt it’s actually for sale (of course, knowing the internet it will probably become available for sale soon).

Personally I find the iPhone 4 antenna hooplah to be overblown media hype, but some of the jokes and iPhone 4 humor floating around is just hilarious.

Update: the decal is the work of talented designer Aaron Draczynski, thank you to those who tracked this down.

If you’ve been to Google.com today you can’t possibly have missed their logo honoring the late Josef Frank, a famous architect. The crazy looking Google logo is actually a take on Josef Frank’s wallpaper designs, which are intricately detailed and quite fancy.

After seeing these, I thought they’d look great on my iPad, so I decided to make a few Josef Frank wallpapers for the iPad. Here are four that I created fitting the iPad dimensions, but they’ll work on on your iPhone too. Enjoy!

All the jokes and iPhone 4 humor have finally gone mainstream. David Letterman featured the iPhone 4 on his famous ‘Top 10 List’ segment. Video is hosted below for now, but don’t be surprised if it gets pulled for copyright. Here’s the list repeated below:

David Letterman’s Top 10 Signs You’ve Purchased a Bad iPhone 4

• 10. To make a call, you have to insert a quarter
• 9. Automatically answers every call with a computerized, “Yello!”
• 8. Operates on 20 “D” Batteries
• 7. Pre-loaded with naked photos of Steve Jobs
• 6. You keep getting anonymous texts reading, “iPhone kill you”
• 5. Apple Store looks suspiciously like some dudes trunk
• 4. It smells and tastes like a pop tart
• 3. There’s no lather when washing your cornea (oh I’m sorry, that’s a sign you’ve purchased a bad eye foam)
• 2. You check your email and it shocks your nuts
• 1. Only accepts calls from Mel Gibson

The entire list misses the whole antenna debacle completely, but it’s still interesting to see that Apple-bashing is now part of late night comedy routines.

iPhone 5 has been spotted, and here is the first known picture:

So much for reception problems! Ok not really, but it’s pretty funny. This picture was sent to us from Flickr, and it got a good laugh. Check out more iPhone 4 reception humor here (and yes, we realize this whole reception thing is totally overblown).

We’ve all heard about the supposed iPhone 4 reception problems by now, so why not poke fun at the issue? Here’s a collection of some of the best iPhone 4 humor we’ve come across, have a laugh and enjoy!

Obviously this is all a joke, but if you’re one of the people having problems with your iPhone it’s probably not so funny. In case you missed it, Apple released a statement on the issue. Basically, if you’re experiencing any problems with the iPhone 4 reception you should avoid bridging the antennas, or just use a case while waiting for the software update.

If you have any more iPhone 4 humor, email it to us at osxdailycom @ gmail.com!

The Setup is a collection of nerdy interviews with geek-famous people discussing what hardware and software they use to do their work. It’s a fun look into the technical productivity of others, and there’s a ton of Macs and relevant software being used. Poke around!

The Setup: What do people use to get the job done?

If you have fond memories of Shel Silverstein and his famous childrens book “The Giving Tree”, you’ll immediately like this iPad decal, which plays on the cover of that classic book and adds the Apple logo as the fruit falling from the tree. Awesome!
