President Obama's State of the Union X iPad Presentation Mashup

Here's a very well done mashup of President Obama's State of the Union speech on Wednesday night with Steve Job's iPad presentation earlier the same day.

Let the Apple Tablet Insanity Begin

Apple shares were halted after Apple revealed a HUGE quarterly revenue in a conference call on Monday. This is apparently all over the new touchscreen tablet gadget that Apple will reveal on Wednesday, January 27.

How well did they do in the last quarter of 2009? Profits are up 50% over record sales of 3.36 million Macs and 8.7 million iPhones. They reached a record sale of $15.68 billion! They basically blew out their forecasts. [CNBC]

Oh and according to this Google search trend, the Apple Tablet has become a bigger story than President Obama's State of the Union Speech. [Gawker]

People Are Crazy

Not sure how accurate this chart is, but its definitely believable. Americans sure can be idiots.

Turkish News Anchor Reports on President Obama with Black Face

A Turkish news anchor wore dark face paint while he reported on President Obama's trip to the country.

A rough translation: "Welcome, Mr. Obama. You took our hearts with your hospitality. We appreciate your kindness. We will do whatever America asks of us, as friends. Now, we ask the same of you."

It's not clear if the broadcast is a spoof or not. BuzzFeed says that the face darkening is meant to be "a metaphor for the way the Bush administration "darkened" the face of the Turkish public, and how the anchor hopes Obama will turn things around." [Huffington Post]
