Alert: KidFriday Host Has “EarWorm”
Well it probably has happened to you, and now we officially confirm it in our very own home. Kid Friday’s co-host, 10-year old Zoe has a case of Earworm. What is Earworm? Wikipedia, refers to it as “Music being stuck in one’s head.” In an episode of Spongebob Squarepants, Spongebob has a song stuck in his head that interrupts his day until Sandy Cheeks tries to find a way to get the worm out of his head. Sandy says “someone with musical talent” can cure him (in this case, Squidward). Squidward starts playing his clarinet. The Earworm gets annoyed and leaves. Squidward is then shown in bed, praising himself. The Earworm comes and goes into Squidward, and now Squidward has the Earworm (with his song, not Spongebob’s). We’re working hard to get the Earworm out of Zoe’s head. Listen for an update on the next Kid Friday Podcast.
Disney Movies Now Renting On YouTube
Ya, forget Redbox or Blockbuster (if there’s any left near you), because today a whole bunch of Disney (including Pixar, and Drreamworks) movies are now available at YouTube.com/movies. Literally hundreds of Disney movies are now available to rent including Cars, Alice in Wonderland, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. It’s going to be a nice long holiday weekend, so it might be a great opportunity to check out a favorite.
Apple Black Friday Deals Are OUT!
As we’ve mentioned before, the one and only day of the year to get a deal at your local Apple Store or at the official Apple Website is Black Friday. Yes, this Friday. Big discounts? Well, not really, but it’s better than full price. We say if you want an iPod, the deals at Target or Wal-Mart are better. You pay full price, but you get up to a $50 gift card. More info on the Official Apple Black Friday sale here.
Apple Store’s Self-Checkout – Kid Friday
Apple’s new EasyPay self-checkout feature lets you pay for your own items at the Apple store, but it doesn’t yet have all the kinks worked out–at least in my experience.
The EasyPay feature requires you to download the latest 2.0 version of the Apple Store app. To buy an item, you’re supposed to scan its barcode with your iPhone’s camera, at which point it’s added to your shopping cart. You then pay for your goods using the credit card associated with your Apple ID and iTunes account.
Beyond letting you pay for your own items, the app allows you to order a product online and then pick it up at your nearby store.
