Best mashup yet on this clip. Love it.
So happy I dropped German in the 10th grade. Knowing the language would certainly ruin the fun. Besides, their word for beer sounds the same as ours. What more do you need to know?

"How to speak Australian." That is, if you like Foster's.
For all my gripes about the iPad -- and I have plenty to share in an upcoming post -- I'll plunk down for one regardless when they hit store shelves. The $499 model for me, and none of that Ma Bell malarkey. But man, they are taking it from all sides, and not just from the "dorkosphere" as Engadget put it earlier.
Adobe is none too pleased with Apple for choosing not to support Flash (HTML5 junkies are free to weigh in):
[Without] Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web. If I want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab -- not to mention the millions of other sites on the web -- I'll be out of luck.
In the era where snark rules the skies, marcoms bracing for the impact of Godwin's Law during a major consumer campaign is just a given. But to be compared to der Führer within hours after what was supposed to be the most mind-blowing launch since the iPhone and possibly the Apollo missions? I can just hear the brand managers banging their heads while the flacks feverishly douse the flames.
God, I love my job.
