No one on television can make me enjoy sitting through commercials quite like Stephen Colbert. Watch the master of product placement at his best as he hawks everything from Doritos to Bud Light Lime in the most entertaining ways possible.
Tech Buzz This will be a Rorschach test for fanboys. You'll either see art or tragedy.
Style Buzz This neat case for the iPod Nano doubles as a wrist watch! What time is it? Oh, just half past Lady Gaga.
Tech Buzz This past Saturday marked the iPod's ninth birthday, and I'm sorry to see no-one at BuzzFeed wished it a happy one. Here's some of the highlights and evolutions of the iPod over the past nine years.
All of the instruments heard in this video were played using iPad applications - pretty cool! AND they're breakdancing.
This is what a fusion of modern technology and '70s styling would look like. The LED readout and chrome knob are awesome.
To make things look high-tech in the 1970s, all you needed were a bunch of flashing lights.
Tech Buzz While you think about it, I'll tell you what this guy would do. Grab as much modern technology as possible, go back to he '70s and re-model it all to blend in with the era. Then what? Become really, really rich. It's a brilliant plan!
iPad shmfypad. Let's not forget our roots with vintage iPod cases that remind us of our poor eating habits!

Pregnant women can download high-definition ultrasound pictures of their unborn children to view on their iPods and mobile phones.
I kind of hate this (too steampunky) but it seems important to let you know that such a thing exists. This is good intel for life after the apocalypse, when we all live off-grid but still want to be able to take our iPods with us when we go running.

The City Paper's Neil Santos reports that he clearly saw Barack Obama pulling a Microsoft Zune from his pocket to listen to while he jogged on the treadmill. The Obama team so far has no comment on the incident, but rumors continue to fly about his scandalous media player preferences.
This dude needs to constantly be tuned in, even if he’s already at a concert. Imagine if he took the earbuds out! It would be like playing one artist on shuffle, but the sound would be amaaaazing.
