Steve Ballmer's iPod Ad. Crazy-ass Steve Ballmer's notorious Dance-Monkeyboy-Dance vid turned into an iPod sillhouette routine. Whoooeeeeaaaaah! Snarfled from Boing Boing
  • I should have mentioned this requires Flash.
  • My iPod is boned. As far as I can tell, the "Hold" function is permanently set to on, whether the switch is set to "on" or not. Anyone got any idea what I can do to fix it without sending it back to Apple?
  • Update: After scanning a few forums, it turns out that the technical solution is "percussive maintenance", or "Banging your iPod on the side of your desk". Ta-daa! It works.
  • I ♥ Steve Ballmer. *were-Dean howl* How many college cheerleaders keep on givin' it up, twenty-five years later? [But I had never seen the Apple ad. Typical, that I would learn of it through somebody's web trope.]
  • I want to see the Howard Dean iPod commercial. * plans on using his caucus vote as a protest -- Yeeeaaaaarrgh!!!
