Red Shoes Speaks No. 67 News Aggregators for the Apple iPad

tommytrc — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:15:03 +0000

Lisa and Tommy talk about their picks for best news aggregators for their Apple iPads. Lisa likes Fluent News and the Daily and Tommy prefers flipboard. One beef they both find with the crop of newsreaders is the fact it takes time to download content and they are not very friendly in situations where you don’t have wifi or 3G access…like airline travel. There needs to be a way you can pre-download content for offline reading.

I miss You Dearly, Jess!

Jess, Your long lost and forgotten MacBook Pro loves you and wants to return to the fold. Ever since your new love has entered your life, things just have not been the same. You don’t communicate anymore. You are out late and seen with that “other” Apple product. I’m lonely, hurt and sad without you. Why, Why Why?? I ask myself. Please come back!

The iPad Keynote in less than 180 Seconds – Incredible, Beautiful, Amazing!

Found this ditty on Gizmodo. You guys rock. I had to laugh when I saw this. I watched the whole keynote and actually thought about the wording used and how carefully each word was selected. Now after seeing this, you know exactly that… Great job Uncle Steve and Phil.

From the youtube description: Bored of watching the full iPad keynote? No problem! The following video by Neil Curtis sums it up to convenient 180 seconds of all the important words spoken there. I assure you, that no scene is repeated and everything was said on this keynote! Oh, and please don’t take it personal: it’s meant to be humor!

In case you’re wondering, this is how you do an interview with me

tommytrc — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 01:22:16 +0000

I just roared when I read this off the Fake Steve Jobs website… Highlarious!

Questions in advance, nothing confrontational, remember that you depend on me to make a living and in two seconds I could end your career, keep it light, keep it moving, no followups, no arguing, no pressing for more info, be reverential at all times, remember that you are acting as an extension of our PR arm and the point of this interview is to promote Apple and promote our products. That’s how my dear friend David Pogue (above) does it, and it’s why he’ll always have access to our products ahead of everyone else. Much love, David Pogue. And namaste. I honor the place where your interests and my own become one.
