Geek Actually Replay – Geek Actually Episode 88 Live Show

Here is this week’s live video version of The Geek Actually Podcast Episode 88 – Stevenote. This week David McVay, Josh Philpott and Shane Gregory review the new re-imagining of ‘The A-Team’. We also take a close look at the WWDC keynote speech by Steve Jobs as he officially launches iPhone 4. The audio podcast of this episode can be found on this site or on iTunes.

Almost every week we record the Geek Actually Podcast while feeding it live to Ustream. We record the Ustream feed and it is available go back and watch later if you want. It occurred to me that we should just embed the past shows here so you can find them easily. You never know, you’re listening to that podcast and something visual happens, now you can simply find the show here and watch what happened. Enjoy. (Note: We only started recording the feed as of episode 46, there are no videos of earlier shows.)

Here is the official synopsis of the short film: Continue reading

Sam Mendes’ New iPhone 4 Commercial

We talked about this on the show a couple of weeks back, now here it is. Sam Mendes (director of ‘American Beauty’) was hired to direct Apple ads and his first is now out. It is called ‘Face Time’ and it is sweet and slow moving and I still don’t quite know why Apple felt it needed an Academy Award winning director to make it. Enjoy.

I will say this though, I want that damn phone! I love the iPhone and I can’t wait to get my hands on that puppy.
