In celebration of, let’s face it, an exhaustingly eventful 2010, we at Atom are giving up our usual letters to Santa in favor of helping some of our favorite people of 2010 with their holiday wish lists. For twelve days leading up to Christmas, we’ll have a brand new gift guide to help you shop for your favorite celebrity or pop culture phenomenon.

Remember when being a computer geek meant hanging out in your garage with your other bespectacled chums, sautering processors to homemade motherboards? Well, Steve Jobs has done his very best to divorce his image from those days. Though, you may not be able to get Steve a DIY computer kit anymore, there still a few things left on his wish list.

Not to overpromise anything, but let me guarantee you this: I find strapping a magnifying glass to one’s face to be uniformly hilarious. Click through to the full version:

Boy, there are a lot of videos about iPads today. So many! As the staff at CollegeHumor is quick to point out, there are almost too many angles to come at this thing from.  When an opportunity like this arises, it’s almost overwhelming…

You guys like iFreak, right? If there’s one thing I love, it’s boner jokes mixed with popular technology references. Well the guy who made iFreak (Bryan Tucker) is a captain of the comedy industry! Here’s a picture of him.

Yep, that’s a sign that says “shitstorm!”. If that isn’t reason enough to love him…

Here are the things we learn in this video:

1) The people of FunnyOrDie know what we want, and they like giving it to us.

2) Will Ferrell used all his pull to get an iPad. Asking  Steve Jobs to do a guest star must have been too much.

3) Magic Screen kind of has a lady boner for the iPad*.

Hit the jump for the evidence…

There are lots of things in the world that Max Silvestri does not understand. Or maybe he just doesn’t pay attention. Each week in this column, Max tries to figure a new mystery out by reading the work of the greatest democracy on Earth, Internet commenters.

Finally, the Apple tablet computer/giant iPhone thing is here: the iPad. Good name! Super good name. I think all of the Internet agrees how strong that name is. “Beyond reproach” is absolutely something I’ve heard a lot of experts throw around.

Apparently, lots of people are saying Mad TV predicted the iPAD with a sketch a few years ago about a feminine care product that goes in your (not my) feminine area and also has Bluetooth and headphones and other hacky jokes. Does this mean MadTV now owns Apple, because they beat them at their own game? I am assuming we all use Mighty Ducks 2 rules, wherein the Junior Varsity team switches places with the Varsity team if they beat them. Also, in case you didn’t know, MadTV is just like the computer company Apple, only not quite as good at making computers and peripherals.

I am a little confused about the iPad. It looks like a giant iPhone, and it has no camera, and will probably break easily. The videos on Apple’s website seem to indicate it’s a 500 dollar machine for watching Star Trek or Up, but nothing else. Let’s have commenters explain it to me…
