Did she get the iPhone 5? That was pretty funny. Where did you get the car?
Very nice! I am impressed.
That was impressive.
But seriously who the hell has a DeLorean?
OMG is THAT RENE??? :O
coolest jailbreak tweak ever : http://j.mp/uk9yGR
There's not going to be an "iPhone 5". The iP4S is the 5th iPhone, so there will never be an iPhone 5.
The next iPhone with either be an iPhone 4G, or it'll be the iPhone 6. I hate when people say that they're looking forward to the iPhone 5; it's already here.
Because we all know 6 comes after 4.
You shouldn't post, due to the fact that it's obvious you didn't read any of the comments here.
Nested replies != chronological order.
yeh because the iphone 3g and 3gs didnt throw that outta wack at all hey
Remember there was never a 2.
There was never a "3" either.
actually the 3g and 3gs did not throw it out of whack: iphone first gen , was iPhone 1 iphone 3g was iphone 2 iphone 3gs was iphone 3 iphone 4 , was iphone 4 iphone 4s is iphone 5 and next one will be iphone 6 of iphone 4G .
Pretty simple , is you can keep up with each generation and simple math
There wont be an iPhone 5, cause the next one is the 6th gen iPhone 
The next one might be the iPhone 4g
iPhone 6000 GT.
Next one is iPhone 5.
yeh because the iphone 3g and 3gs didnt throw that outta wack at all hey
Get over yourself...IT'S A FREAKING PHONE...moron!
Technically your wrong! The 4S is just an update, not a new phone. So in reality the next phone will be the Iphone 5
technically You're wrong. Its a new phone! Of course any new iPhone is an updated phone compared to the last one, Mr Holmes
Next iphone will be anything BUT iphone 5 
No, I'm not wrong. Read "Asdollah Mirza's" response.
And if you want to get technical, the iPhone 3G was just an update, not a new phone. Look at the model numbers in the firmware to see.
Very nice good job rene and georgia
Brilliant guys, very entertaining. Let's have more like this please. How about a take on "Minority Report"?
I always love it when the delorean is used. I have a unique opportunity to see them daily since I live just around the corner from the DMC right here in north Houston. By the way you should check out the new electric delorean with iPhone dock on the radio.
OMG! You guys are such dorks. ha ha ha.....
Haha if anything that was fun to watch!
Pretty funny stuff
As an ironic side note, the Delorean was also said to have battery drainage issues... sounds familiar?
Nice, though with the spiky hair and Lab coat, Rene reminded me more of Beaker from the Muppets
He reminded me of Yuri, my butcher at our local meat shop "The Unbeatable Meat"
I've seen more convincing acting from porn stars.
I guess it's too bad they're not porn stars then, huh??
Hahahaaaaa, brilliant!!!
hahaah whata riot - you guys are great
hahaah whata riot - you guys are great
DUDE THAT IS HILARIOUSLY AWFUL!
But I liked it and laughed hard! Thanks for entertaining!
This is kinda hilarious. Though there is a compelling argument for not upgrading!
This was god awful. Just terrible.
Agreed. It would be great to see some of these extracurricular programs scaled back or eliminated all together and get back to producing a quality episode of iPhone Live or iPad Live. And perhaps switch up the contributors too. Seth Clifford more times than not appears he has better things to do than the webcast (no offense, Seth).
How can anyone not like this? What is wrong with someone who can't enjoy a little light fluffy piece every once in awhile. C'mon there is a DeLorean in it, and Rene and Georgia were hilarious!
Agreed, is was funny, informative, and had a DeLorean in it. I will have the IPhone 4s in about 3 days and OMG what an upgrade to my IPhone 3G (no S). Not to mention that I'll actually have a signal now that I switched from AT&T to Verizon. ;p
That was great! and absolutely LOVED the brick keeping the DeLorean in the driveway!
you mean the handbrake? LOL
So awesome. Great video. True Passion.
Did you fly out to California to shoot the video? I noticed the front plate was from Cali.
Why didnt Georgia send Dr Rene back to the future real quick to get the scoop on what comes AFTER iPhone 4S
So you live near Montreal ? (really, really looks like it, more probably south shore).
Great fun to watch. Love the out-take. Thanks.
LMAO!! I loved that!
Great production quality, what car is that?
Youve never watched Back To The Future??
Man, how many times has the name "Delorean" been typed on this site now? You still have to ask?!
You're so rude, I wanted to know the actual make and name of the car and someone told me. I posted this a while ago.
To accurately answer your question, the vehicle shown in the Independently filmed section of this, should be a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12. This is discernible by noticing the grooved or creased hood with the gas flap (small square just in front of the windshield) and that it has the early style leather door strap. Later models (1983 DeLoreans) would have had a canvas door strap and a flat hood without the gas flap. If you pay attention in the introductory scene where the DMC crashes through the trash cans (used from the actual Motion Picture), you should notice that the movie car's hood is flat, with no side creases, and there is not a gas flap at the driver side top of the hood. Most 1982 models had creased hoods, but they were less common, and partially through 1982 (if I'm not mistaken) there were some rare models that had the gas flap, yet the creases were left off.
Wow dude.....Wow... You are not allowed on the internet anymore.
I didnt think it was bad, you actually have to do some work to make something like that. Props for getting the Delorean, and for Georgia denting the door getting out of it.
I bought the phone because I stil was able to get $325 for my 16GB iPhone 4 on Amazon Marketplace. So having a "new" phone, which is now under warranty and technically only paying $175 for my 4S which isnt a bad yearly budget for a phone. That only breaks down to $14 a month. It was worth it to me. So having a phone that is almost twice as fast, with better video recording, and native text to speech was worth the price. And I didnt get a chance to get a white iPhone 4, now I have one. i will sell this and spend another $14 a month when the 6th Gen iPhone comes out. I need to continue my tradition of upgrading yearly. I like to have new stuff.
Did you have to renew your contract for 2 years?
I did, but that has no bearing on my decision whatsoever. Ive had AT&T since the first iPhone and I live in east of San Francisco, typically getting 5300K down and 1300K up. I have about 1300 minutes on this phone, talktime wise and havent dropped any calls. Which is typical, Ive had 2-3 call drops a year since 2007 with AT&T both in this area, and in Phoenix.
For those of us who grew up watching Back To The Future, remember that moment when the DeLorean lifted off the ground and took to the skies, weren't you excited as f****?!?!
Maybe in 2155 we'll get there...
Y'all really need some microphones and people competent to use them properly when doing video around here... smh.
Good grief, people are arguing about whether there's gonna be a 5 or not? Are you the same people who argue over Start Trek episodes? Who cares! We will find out when we find out. Georgia, watch those gull wing doors, they can be a killer in most any version of car
"Great Scott!!"
lmao!!!!
Where in the heck did you find a Delorean? I am truly jealous!!!
Why is Doc Brown british....??? And where the "F" did you get a Delorean?? And if you tell me you own it I will have to code you King of All Us Geeks!! This was def enjoyable!
