YouTube Auto-Caption Fails, Most Blatant Apple Product Placement

by Thomas Houston on March 10, 2010 at 07:20 PM


There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • YouTube's automatic closed captioning, like most automated systems, is serving up hilarious misinterpretations to the collective joy of Web users. Exhibit number one: Apple's iPad introduction video. [From: DVICE and Engadget]
  • Eye-tracking studies reveal most users ignore the real-time Tweets popping up in Google's search results. [From: Guardian]
  • The Awl looks at (with screencaps, of course) the most "remarkable Apple product placements" of all time, ranging from Rush Limbaugh's personalized iPods to the "classic" 'Zoolander' orange iMac scene. [From: The Awl]
  • YouTube user katamaran78 recut 'Battlestar Galactica' in a scene-by-scene remake of Spike Jonze's Beastie Boy's 'Sabotage' video. Impressive on its own, it's even more mind-boggling watching both videos playing side-by-side. [From: BuzzFeed]
