I hadn't noticed that some of the best pieces of Mac geek humour have made it up onto YouTube. WWDC attendees have all heard of (and hopefully been treated to a performance by) James Dempsey and the Breakpoints. You can check out The MVC Song, I Love View (in beta at the time of its performance), and Release Me (out-of-date now with the new garbage collection in Objective-C 2.0, but it does feature the audience joining in on the chorus).
Sadly, I'm stuck linking to YouTube. Dear Apple: You guys would make at least a couple of bucks if you'd let me buy these on the iTunes Store.
So, fellow Mac geeks, a question for you: what are your favourite pieces of Mac geek humour?
I like some pictures from this site (http://www.trappedbydogma.com/blog/steve-jobs-and-bill-gates-rare-public-appearance-together-photos/) arranged with the following captions:
1. SJ: Do you remember the one button mouse we once sold?
2. BG: Uh-huh
3. SJ: Originally it was supposed to be a joke but our customers bought them like hot cakes
4 BG: No shit?
Now the question is: Does anybody else find this funny? :-)
I always loved the songs Dave Garr did at Apple. For example "Dave Garr and the CISCs: I think we're a clone now" from the Spindler era (to the tune of Lene Lovich's "I think we're alone now"). Though of course, looking at how history actually turned out, it gets a very ironic note :-T
He also did a sampler called "WinSongs 95", which was an ad with parts of songs like "Tears of a Clone", "Killing me softly with Windows", and others I don't quite recall right now.
And then there's David Pogue's songs, like "I write the code", "America Online you beautiful", ... of course, most of these were from a time when it was fashionable to bash Microsoft, but they still *were* funny.
While I'm drifting farther away from the Mac-specific fun: "It's all about the Pentiums" by Al Yankovic is also fantastic.
