Outtakes From Friday’s iFAQ
Since we actually got an iFAQ out the door on Friday we figured we’d celebrate by giving you a sneaky peek into the parts that don’t make it into the final edit, the footage that hits the cutting room floor. And hopefully by so doing we will also give you a greater appreciation for all the work we do around here while you’re out gallivanting around with your fancy friends.
Anyway, here’s the clips:1
A: “And the Armadillo was all ‘yeah, but I just BOUGHT this shirt!”
[Laughter]
Q: Dude, everyone already knows that joke. It’s like, it’s a thousand years old.
Producer: Guys? We’re rolling.
Q: Crap! Right. Ahem. Hrm. Look, it’s a phone. It’s just a phone. What makes your [starts laughing] I just got it [laughs] He just BOUGHT that shirt!

A: Your Grandma.
Q: She runs Linux on a… dangit, what was it? A wolf pack? Something? Beowulf cluster? So it like, cuts the arms off of a WHOLE BUNCH of monsters? Okay, let’s go again. Sorry Grandma.
And there you have it! We hope you enjoyed this little glimpse at life inside the iFAQ studio.

The laugh track is a nice addition. You should have it in the actual iFAQ, because I often laugh in the wrong place, or forget to laught entirely.
Well, I had to do a restore to upgrade to iOS4 and re-sync all my apps so I don’t feel like laughing. Sorry.
You have my sympathy. My iPod went through three restores before it decided to play nice.
Three? Well I guess I can’t complain then. I do like folders.
I had to update iTunes before the iOS 4 upgrade, but it was worth it. I now have lots more room for more apps, which I need like I need more holes in my head.
Having comment withdrawal. Need to post. Arghh…… Realy need to buy a life somewhere.
Nate’s twitter tweets somehow aren’t as satisfying as real news reports.
