Here’s a good idea for virally marketing apps that Apple should think about: wirelessly beaming apps to other iPhones like the Zune’s music sharing feature. The Zune is a me-too product, but it’s one great feature is being able to lend music to friends Zune-to-Zune via Wi-Fi. Shared tracks can be played three times, after which

By now you’ve probably seen the viral clip for the Nude It app originally posted at whoisthebaldguy.com (if you haven’t, brush off that cave dust and watch it now). The clip shows a mind-blowing iPhone app being used that employs augmented reality to de-clothe unwitting victims being viewed through the iPhone’s camera. Seems like great idea,

Leaked: Office 2010 Beta!

To the surprise of almost no one, a beta copy of Microsoft Office 2010 is already making the rounds via peer-to-peer torrent websites, according to Neowin.com. Microsoft is expected to release the beta officially at next week’s Professional Developer Conference in Los Angeles, having already pegged November as their target month and goosing rumors with a Twitter post about big Office news coming at the conference. Couple all that with the leaked beta already circulating, and it doesn’t take rocket science to make an accurate prediction about next week. The beta is the next extension to the technology preview Microsoft unveiled in July, which was also leaked early. “We have not officially released the beta code of Office (2010),” a Microsoft representative commented. “We recommend that people do not download code from unauthorized sources.” Adding fuel to the beta fire, the website Craving Tech has also posted several screenshots of what they claim to be the Office 2010 beta — and revealing their source to be none other than Microsoft themselves. Could “leaked” torrents be the new viral marketing or what?

Twenty five years after Apple aired it’s famous 1984 commercial, it’s Steve Jobs that is being portrayed as Big Brother. In a remake of Apple’s famous 1984 ad, which famously portrayed IBM as a force of oppression, startup doubleTwist has Apple pegged as the oppressor.

Filed under: Humor , Video , Odds and ends , Apple , Found Footage , Music Here’s an earworm for you; hip-hop group FattySpins recorded a love song to ladies and to all things Apple, and filmed the video (above) at the landmark Apple Store Fifth Avenue. The song manages to not only encompass a lot of Apple products in its lyrics , but also manages to poke some good fun at Microsoft. I mean, you’ve gotta love lyrics like: “I know how to treat you – this ain’t a reboot I’ll never find the need to Control ALT Delete you I see no reason to mess with these slobs Cause they’re like Bill Gates… and I’m Steve Jobs ” The Apple Store Love Song was written and produced by Ray William Johnson, the likable nebbish with the glasses in the video. There’s no word on whether or not Apple is going to hire him to produce catchy viral raps for future ads.

Apple’s Phil Schiller personally rejected Google’s controversial Voice app, new documents reveal.

If you are a parent you know the drill for the iPod Generation: turn that down before you lose your hearing, inserting the required cautionary tales of sitting too close to the speakers at a Stones concert.

Game Review: Plants vs. Zombies

For the past two weeks, I’ve been completely engrossed in following Plants vs. Zombies . For those who haven’t heard, this isn’t about the Supreme Court case, but about the latest game from PopCap , makers of the infamous Bejeweled and Zuma games. Planets? And Zombies? Do those even mix? You may have seen the cute viral video that has been making its way around the net. Plants vs. Zombies is a combination of a tower-style defense game and its own unique take on an action strategy game. As one can surmise, the plot involves zombies taking over your home in a quest to eat your brains. (Sounds like a great movie plot, doesn’t it?) Similar to tower games, zombies come toward your house in waves, with each zombie having its own strengths and weaknesses. Some wear road cones or metal cans on their heads. Some pole vault over your defenses.
