First Music Video Featuring iPhone Interface Has the Unfortunate Title of "Smell Yo D*ck" (NSFW)

Benny Goldman — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:30:00 EDT

After nearly a year, the iPhone has finally received its first [Questionably the first, but definitely the worst - Ed.] starring role in a music video. Unfortunately, the video is "Smell Yo Dick", by sassy rapper Riskay. In the self-explanatory guide to detecting cheaters, the phone is featured in a variety of situations both good (a friend takes pictures of Riskay's man with another woman) and evil (Riskay's boyfriend declines her call). By the end, Riskay sends her man's beloved JesusPhone flying off the balcony, but it's the phone that gets the last laugh—it still works. We can only imagine what Steve Jobs will say when he finds out about this. The video, filled with NSFW language, below. [via Jezebel]

Reversed Mute Math Video Reverse-Engineeered

As a follow-up to our post about that wild-ass backwards Mute Math video of their song "Typical," now fans have reversed the reverse video, giving you a good look at what the band did to create such a monstrosity. One painful little section for us gadgeteers is watching that '80s-era Korg RK-100 Keytar get dismantled.

It's particularly amusing to listen to the reversed vocals while watching lead singer Paul Meany actually singing (well, lip-synching) this song in reverse. You might want to turn the sound down little bit on this one, or your cubicle mates will think you've gone nuts. – Charlie White

Five Sexiest Apple Videos

Jason Chen — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 17:00:49 EST

Although there's nothing inherently sexy about a Mac itself—seriously, it's just a computer—they do seem to inspire its users to do stuff that is sexy. Here are five videos that illustrate the point.

In the first, "Setty Smooth" manages to get four pretty hot ladies to dance around and pose for his video. You may want to turn down the volume if you're at work. Actually, you'd probably want to turn down the volume if you're at home as well.

This one, also NSFW, is probably the sexiest silhouette ad we've seen yet. This one, from Reon Kaneda, is a number she did on one of her videos (she's one of those Japanese adult stars) dancing around with her iPod. That's an old-school iPod Mini, in case you were keeping track. Which you're not. NSFW. This iBuzz ad isn't sexy by itself, but if you close your eyes and imagine real hard what you'd do with this, then maaaaybe you'd manage to excite yourself. Maybe. We've shown this video before, but someone thought it was sexy enough to place into the all-time-sexiest list. – Jason Chen

Nokia N93 Used To Shoot Entire Music Video

Jason Chen — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 20:30:00 EST

The Nokia N93 cameraphone is so good, Rob Dickinson (former lead singer of Catherine Wheel) used it to shoot the entirety of the music video to his song Oceans. The N93 can take VGA video at 30FPS, which is quality enough for broadcast, and decent enough for a so-so music video.

What's the point of this? Soon we'll have regular folk along with news journalists (they're doing it already) shooting stuff and uploading it to their blogs straight from their phones. Citizen journalism is here, and you don't want to be caught with your pants down. Because you'll end up on YouTube. – Jason Chen
