9 to 5 Mac is reporting that John Hodgeman (“I’m a PC” guy) will reprise his role one last time for the Job’s keynote as a bartender getting a guy drunk to get his hands on the new Apple prototype. The commercial was shot at a bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn last week. Wonder if Gizmodo will be laughing…
Update: unfortunately, this rumor was not true… there was no last “Get a Mac” commercial today at the WWDC keynote.

The Spirit jailbreak for the iPad was barely released when some of the more impressive features of the iPad were released without Apple’s consent. One of the more exciting hacks is the demo of Super Mario World being played on the Super NES emulator using a Wiimote (Wii Remote) as the controller after the break. Once jailbroken, you need snes4iphone ($5.99 from Cydia, which is the app store for jailbreak apps).

The iPad/iPhone jailbreak demonstrated as early as the iPad (non 3G) launch day has been released. The untethered jailbreak works with activated iPhone OS gear running versions 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and 3.2.
Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch on the latest firmwares.
There’s nothing worse than a gadget with no power. Really, it’s a sad thing that provides Geeks like us an endless amount of content for our dreams. I shutter to think of a time where I forget to charge my iPad overnight for example… the limp and lifeless body of the iPad just laying in my arms with no chance of providing access to my books, photos, videos, magazines, productivity tools or even access to ABC reruns or any of my favorite apps. This is a dark and cold place that I don’t want to think about and as luck would have it, there are products like the Power Bullet Charger!
The unique aspect of this charger over other chargers is that you can use a standard outlet or car charger to charge 2 USB devices. Thinkgeek has these black beauties for under $15 so it’s within all Geek’s budgets!

Here’s another product to turn your iPhone into a Universal Remote, the RedEye. RedEye’s device hooks up to the devices you want to control (like your TV, cable box, DVR, etc.), and the RedEye iPhone app (free download) controls them over your WiFi network.
As long as you have WiFi signal, you can control other RedEye-connected devices in other rooms in your house. Think about it – you forgot to turn off the TV. No need to go back to the living room – a few swipes and you’re done.
