Apple has released their first commercial for the iPad 2. Stunningly good.

Japan Earthquake Swarm Google Earth Animation
I saw this posted over on Capital Weather Gang:
The YouTube video below shows a time lapse of all of the earthquakes that occurred between March 9 and March 14 off the coast of Japan. The action begins to increase after about 15 seconds and the “big one” occurs at one minute and 17 seconds into the animation. After that, the map lights up with activity through the end of the animation. The tectonic flurry is jaw-dropping.
Horrifying First Person Footage in HD of Tsunami Hitting
I first saw this video posted on Saturday, March 12. This video made the rounds on sites like Reddit & Twitter due to is spectacular nature. Apparently the author managed to get access to a good internet connection since then and post an HD version of the video. This video illustrates just how powerful the Tsunami was and how quick it struck. As you can see, this town went from dry to almost completely destroyed in less than 5 minutes time.
Chatroulette Love Song
Amazing.
Water Thief
Usually she just drinks out of Steffanie's water glasses whenever she spots them unguarded and sitting on the coffee table. Today she was perplexed because Steff had drank most of the water, but she came up with a way to drink it anyway.
iPad: The First Year
This was Apple's promo movie as shown during yesterday's event. I cannot think of one other company that I buy products from that does such a good job of tastefully promoting its own products such as this. And although I like to scold my wife from time to time by saying "you're falling for their marketing!", when I watch this video, I do not feel that it's marketing (of course it is) because I agree with it. Let's see Microsoft, Google, Motorola or HP do that.
