Black MacBook Video

Tibor Ratkai sent me an email this morning, notifying me that my voice (as well as Ponzi’s) has been used without our permission for a video Mac-Essentials.de just produced on the new black MacBooks. Well, let me be the first to say: COOL! If they thought Derek’s remix was awesome enough to use for the video soundtrack, who am I to argue? My only wish is that the video could’ve been longer. I don’t think we ever would have found out about this if it weren’t for Tibor. Don’t know if it makes me wanna run out and get a black MacBook yet, but it certainly gives me bragging rights - to say that my voice played a pivotal role in a German video about new Apple laptops. How’s that for obscure?
I don’t know if I’d buy one of Apple’s new MacBooks right now or not. I’d much rather wait until OS X has Boot Camp baked into the operating system. That, and I’m waiting for Apple to release a few more generations of the MacBook running on the Intel platform. I’m in no rush to upgrade to a piece of hardware that might very well be a PoS. Apple’s done a good job with the MacBook, don’t get me wrong - but I’m just not enthusiastic about running out and buying one. Making the MacBook black is enticing, but not anything more than “interesting” to me as a tech enthusiast today. Ask Andru from GearLive what he thinks after he was forced to leave Boot Camp.

“How’s that for obscure”
So he speaks for the empire.

[...] By way of Chris Pirillo’s blog I find myself suffering through the waiting. I’m patiently awaiting my new black MacBook. Here is a video of someone else getting theirs. That should hold me for a day or so. The horror, the horror… [...]

Seattle to Vancouver to Germany to Seattle to Vanc…
The music is something I put together and posted online last June. I didn’t know about the video until Tibor emailed Chris, who posted about it, and my wife saw Chris’s blog….

If you’re interested, the full track is here. There’s also the original Chris Pirillo Show episode. And a shorter version of the music without vocals. Coming soon: the Gnomedex 6.0 Theme Song! (Really.)

Hey Chris, if you don’t mind I’m adding the video to http://www.blackmacbook.com so more people will get a chance to see it. We’re putting together a collection of all the Black MacBook videos that are out there.
