VOTW: Steve Jobs Portrayed as Dark Sith Lord
The iPhone 4 build-up, launch and "antennagate" debacle in a minute and 59 seconds.
It's been a long road for the iPhone 4. It all started with the usual, 'new iphone' rumors at the beginning of the year, but things went a bit off course when Gawker Media managed to procure themselves an iPhone through questionable means. Even after that brouhaha had died down, there was yet more controversy brought on by the fact that the antennae design appeared to be faulty.
These are just two of the biggest events that affected the iPhone 4. After Friday's press conference, one Taiwanese news station felt it necessary to recapitulate the events of the last four or five months with the following cartoon.
I have no idea what the narrator is saying, but it trust me when I say you really don't need to understand Mandarin to enjoy the clip below.
[UPDATE] Here's one with English subtitles so you can hear what the nice lady is saying. Make sure you enable captions in the YouTube video menu.

CLASSIC!! I wonder if ole Sith Lord Jobs is gonna sue someone over this?
Video was certainly a winner! Gotta love those Asians! It did hit one serious note though- the iphone is already stained with blood. It seems pressure from Apple=pressure (extreme) on assembly employees. Jobs apparent "concern" comes across as sheer PR cynicism. Greed? Pure and simple.
Loved it. The Sith Lord Steve Jobs was spot on.
So i need a lightsaber - last two fingers to hold it right?
That... is something worth paying for.
I liked the illustration of slicing the dudes last two figures off to increase cell strength. That was awesome. lol
Jane, first you're my hero for posting this video (freakin' amazing!!). Second, you're my hero for using "brouhaha" in a sentence. Looks like I have a new goal tomorrow
.
lol
When looked at... Kinda from afar, the whole thing is truly ridiculous.
This made my day.
That video is simply awesome. It seems like everyone is mocking Steve. Everything from the "you're holding it wrong" meme (yes, it's a meme now), to t-shirts (e.g. http://zazzle.com/SteveSays*), to videos like this.
Brilliant!

Tuesday's word of the the day is jiggery pokery.
Democracy may mock Communism, but I find it disturbingly strange that in a country like the US where free speech rules we have to turn to the Chinese to tell us the truth.
Thank you Jane, for restoring my faith in unbiased journalism. You rock!
amazing!!!
Explain Bad sex...?
Sorry dear... your holding it wrong.
Have you seen Steve Ballmer's video as Darth Kin Lord. No? Me neither.
That is because no many care about it. The reality has many angles, where is that one and many others. When you are in a place where you look at your own face everywhere you need to start thinking, this may not be the truth at all.
I'm loving this thread. It's like an incubator for my ego. +1 for EVERYONE!
