It would really suck if your cell phone, iPod or Zune got you killed while driving which is why Microsoft’s got your back. Their new Sync platform hooks up your bluetooth device to your car, assuming you have a new Ford and a Windows 98 install CD. OK, install CD is optional. It’s all voice activated goodness from there. Velle Kolde of Microsoft Auto shows Irina how to call Bill Gates and find Bootylicious on her imaginary Zune.

Dvorak, while he was brushing up his crank skills with Master Yoda outside of George Lucas’ infamous Industrial Light and Magic in San Francisco’s Presidio. Irina goes into deep history with Dvorak to discover it all started with a fly in the sandwich.

Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV and Irina suck on rocks, eat dirt and taste wine like superheros. If you’ve seen the Conan bit, this is similar until Irina turns the tables on Gary. Filmed at Technorati whom we love for putting up with our disruptions.
