| iPad Peek: See How Your Website Looks on the iPad Posted: 05 Apr 2010 04:39 AM PDT  
iPad Peek is a nifty tool that lets you see how any website will be rendered on the iPad. Click on the top border to switch from landscape to portrait mode; the virtual keyboard and the buttons on the iPad browser are just for show, but the reload button on the iPad browser works. However, merely opening a website in iPad Peek doesn’t really offer the “real” iPad experience; for example, Flash works (and it shouldn’t). To get closer to the real deal, you should disable the Flash plugin in your browser and change the user agent string to that of the Apple iPad. To do this last bit in Firefox, type “about:config” in the address bar, click the right mouse button, select New – String, and name it “general.useragent.override”. Then enter the value “Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10″.

| First iPad Jailbreak Shown on Video Posted: 05 Apr 2010 01:41 AM PDT 
To do this, he has used a port of Comex’s “Spirit” jailbreak, which works on both iPhone OS 3.1.3 and the iPad’s 3.2. This is just a demonstration; there’s nothing for you to download just yet. But if you doubted that iPad will ever be jailbroken, this should set your mind at ease. Tags: apple, ipad, iphone, jailbreak, video

| Baja California Earthquake: YouTube Videos Posted: 04 Apr 2010 11:34 PM PDT 
Images immediately appeared on Twitter (see Mexicali earthquake photos), but we’re now seeing home videos being uploaded to YouTube, giving a more complete picture of the quake. Yet again, it seems social media has a role to play in our understanding of significant news events. In California, where most of these videos were shot, early reports suggested a long, rolling quake which sent chandeliers swinging and pools overflowing, but causing little damage. HuffPo also has a roundup of videos from the quake. Reviews: Twitter, YouTube

| Google Buzz Privacy Reset Coming Tomorrow Posted: 04 Apr 2010 08:44 PM PDT 
In an announcement that will be coming soon, Google will admit that they “didn’t get everything right,” which has resulted in serious privacy tweaks since its launch. However, many users weren’t affected by these changes because they had activated Google Buzz before the privacy updates. Now in a renewed effort to correct its gaffs, the search company is going to ask all Google Buzz users to confirm (or change) their Buzz settings. This will be gradually rolled out tomorrow, but the result will be that every user will be prompted with a confirmation page the next time they click the Buzz tab. It will look something like this:  The page isn’t anything new — it’s really just the Google Buzz settings page. However, Google’s taking a step in the right direction by giving every user a big opportunity to change their privacy settings. It had to be done. While tomorrow’s move won’t fix the damage that has already been done, perhaps it’ll help get Congress off of its back. If it can appease critics on the privacy issues, then it can tackle the bigger challenge: making Google Buzz into a competitive threat to Twitter and Facebook.

| Mexicali Earthquake Photos: Twitter Tells the Story [PICS] Posted: 04 Apr 2010 08:08 PM PDT 
We turned to Twitter for a closer look at the earthquake’s impact on the communities along the Pacific. These photos of the damage in Mexicali and other locales were shared via Twitter and TwitPic this afternoon by people who experienced the earthquake first-hand. We saw it (perhaps more aptly) after the Chile earthquake, too: Social media can make personal experiences universal. Twitter advocates like to talk about how much more quickly news and images can get out through the service, but that’s not the only thing that’s changed in today’s world as a result of social media.  via r13639  via Cimarron98  via La_Cherry  via elbetOe Evacuating Disneyland via ms_kristin Have you found any compelling photos of the quake on Twitter or Facebook today?

| Deepak Chopra Apologizes for Starting Earthquake on Twitter Posted: 04 Apr 2010 05:42 PM PDT 
He was probably just kidding, of course, but his tweets garnered several amused reactions regardless. They’ve made for an entertaining Twitter moment. Shortly after the earthquake occurred, Chopra tweeted out the following:  He explained further in his next tweet, saying:  CNN reports that the earthquake originated in Baja California at 3:40 PM Pacific time then spawned five aftershocks, including a 4.1-magnitude shake in the northern California town of Santa Rosa. There haven’t been any reports of significant casualties or damage despite the severity of the initial quake, but the quake was felt as far away as Phoenix, Arizona. TwitPics have been floating around, but most of them show minor disorder like fallen items in convenience store aisles. It doesn’t look anything like what we saw out of Chile. However, Twitter lit up right away; “Baja California” is currently a trending topic.

| Yahoo Entertainment on iPad: Not Just a News Reader [Video Review] Posted: 04 Apr 2010 04:16 PM PDT 
When you load the app, it presents its features within a virtual rendition of a home theater, with a TV and an ottoman. That kind of visual flair is one of the things the iPad’s multi-touch interface does best. From that home theater you can access news, videos, TV listings and schedules, and more. Our impressions of the app are positive — particularly of the news layout and the home theater motif in the presentation. Watch the review below to see all the features in motion; we’re finding that iPad apps are best demonstrated and reviewed in videos because of their visual and aural elements, though this one is obviously easier to figure out without a video than Smule’s Magic Piano. If you have your own iPad and it’s all set up, you can download the Yahoo! Entertainment app for free from the Apple App Store right now. Be sure and let us know if you have any insights of your own if you decide to give it a spin.

| Soloist Performs Beyoncé and Lady Gaga on Four iPhones [VIDEO] Posted: 04 Apr 2010 01:47 PM PDT 
For “Irreplaceable,” (currently at 885,920 views) she just used three iPhones, but she started the four-phone “Poker Face” video (1,167,000 views) by demonstrating which apps she was using and how she was using them to put together the composition. One iPhone — the one oriented like a microphone — was running the I Am T-Pain [iTunes link] Auto-Tune app. Two were running the BeatMaker [iTunes link] looping app an the other was running an unspecified analog synthesizer app. There have been other musical iPhone performances in the past, often using Smule’s Ocarina app — for example, the Stanford iPhone orchestra. This girl has made herself a YouTube star within just a couple weeks, though. Her performances are already among the most popular iPhone music videos. Don’t be surprised if she puts out another one for her fans soon. “Poker Face”“Irreplaceable”[via Buzzfeed] For more web video coverage, follow Mashable Web Video on Twitter or become a fan on FacebookReviews: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Tags: applegirl002, autotune, beatmaker, beyonce, college humor, i am t-pain, iphone, iPod Touch, irreplaceable, Lady Gaga, poker face, viral videos, youtube, [vi

By comparison, it took Apple more than 70 days to sell 1 million iPhones after the initial launch. Brainstorm Tech writes:
The estimates were made after Munster’s team put in calls to Apple stores around the country, although it’s worth questioning how accurate that method might be.

| Top 10 Recut Movie Trailers on YouTube [VIDEOS] Posted: 04 Apr 2010 05:56 AM PDT 
We’ve picked ten of the best that add a horror angle to the most light-hearted of films, and show just what’s possible with clever editing, emotive music and of course, voice-over man’s authoritative input. See our selection below and let us know any of your favorites in the comments. 1. Mary PoppinsOne of the original recut trailers shows just how powerful the technique is by taking the upbeat, song-filled Mary Poppins and turning it into “Scary Mary,” a bone-chilling horror. A spoonful of sugar, this ain’t. 2. Uncle BuckIf you thought the scariest thing about Uncle Buck was John Candy’s back-firing Mercury Marquis coupe, then this recut will make you see the John Hughes flick with new eyes — new, scared eyes. 3. AmelieWe always knew there was something sinister about Amelie, and this trailer edits the original film beautifully to show a darker side of the French waitress. Though we’re let down slightly by a poor voice-over, it’s nonetheless worth a watch. 4. Sleepless in SeattleNora Ephron takes an uncharacteristic stroll on the dark side when a call into a radio advice show looks to have triggered an obsession that will almost certainly end in tragedy for Seattle resident Sam Baldwin and his young son Jonah. 5. Office SpaceAll hell breaks lose at Initech in this clever recut that turns the geek fave into a chilling thriller. You’ll never look at a red Swingline stapler in quite the same way again. 6. Ferris Bueller’s Day OffGone are the fun teenage antics as Edward Rooney becomes a crazed killer in this version of Ferris Bueller, set on Friday 13th. 7. Toy StoryIt’s not just Sid’s freakish playthings that will give you willies in this take on Toy Story. Sentient toys pose a threat to children, and in fact all mankind, in this animated horror fest from Pixar. Play nice… 8. Home AloneOld Man Marley takes center stage as the shovel murderer in another re-imagined John Hughes movie. 9. Groundhog DayThere’s no cute marmot in this version of Groundhog Day, in which Bill Murray’s deja vu takes a decidedly darker turn. 10. The ShiningWe’re ending the list with the classic The Shining recut that takes the opposite approach to the videos above, turning a terrifying thriller into a family-friendly romantic comedy. That Jack Torrance sure looks like a swell guy… For more social media coverage, follow Mashable Social Media on Twitter or become a fan on FacebookMore web video resources from Mashable:
