You're right, you really don't need to own everything to be successful. That makes a lot of sense.

[freakin16]

by a truly legendary person...

in jon4lakers we trust

we all love u jon

u were made to make vids on this holy website

and keep walking tall, legend

[avivthebest]

Your username, "freaky", really reflects you.

[arsenakfreakguy]

it actually implies that i am a very big arsenal fan you shithead, nothing else.... and i was just giving my POSITIVE opinion about jon4lakers ...did i even talk to you?? noooo so shut the hell up fucktard....go throw a knife up in the air and catch with ur head ok?? RETARDD

[avivthebest]

I don't see the word "Arsenal" in your nickname, you fucking ass, it says "arsenak", wow, you're so stupid you can't even read what's in your nickname.

By the way, at least I have a head.

Positive opinion? I never knew "jon4lakers" was a new Greek God or something.

[arsenakfreakguy]

well it was a spelling mistake, fucktard...did u c the video?? jon talks about the HATERS that TRY to get ppl down UNSUCESSFULLY MOST OF THE TIME... looks like ur 1 of those fucktard rednecks who are bored with their lives.... why diss some1 when they havent said anythin to u?? and yes, to some jon is a god.. and i happen to be greek so go suck on a cock u shithead....go throw a knife in the air and catch it with ur head.... shitface

[luckymirai]

the ending part was funny. glad to see you on HD. great video. thanks !<3

[FLEXy2k]

Great Video!!! I myself am new and these words are true. it is tough once you start but you got to keep on trying!

[himynameiscoi]

the end iz lyke the bloopers

[cjp132]

Thanks for all the pointers, i will remember them for later.

[TheSeanWilson]

The same applies to blogging and podcasting, for the most part.

[LexZender5773]

Jon, the comment before mine illustrate how perceptions can be so different from one person to the next. They said you are boring looking. To me, you are one of the most charismatic reviewers on YT. I still remember feeling a bit weird about being concerned when you had a car accident with your girl. I was also pleasantly surprised you know some Spanish and Hebrew. Probably also German? I bought my 2008 MacBook Pro with the help of your reviews. Just continue to be your handsome self. Lex

[Sinjinator]

Haha, I thought you were boring looking, but you sure know how to talk. Thanks for the tips!

Umm...

err...

You really don't own a Macbook Air? :)

[goobot1]

the ending is funny :) also if you dont mind i saw u hacked your apple tv and showed how it works. can u make a vid of you doing the stuff with the usb and pluging it into the apple tv and also uploading the program to the usb as well and just every thing u need to do to hack it from start to finish.

[ayyad13]

also dont forget to EDIT your videos hahah

[chocoff]

I'm very glad you're now available in hd

[sfisch001s]

one question....i just changed from hotmail to gmail, is there a way to make all the emails i receive in my hotmail to forward to gmail, i tried it but i can only make the emails be forwarded to a hotmail account, seeing as you and i have a mac id like to know if u could help me. thxs

[JoelxROX]

Product X? WHAT!?! wHY NOT PRODUCT Y U FANBOY!!

Haha, Im kidding Jon, great video.

[MutatedLove]

Thanks for the advice, great video!

Sexy with the facial hair btw. ;)

[Neo33009]

Good Job.

[uncharted185]

have really good lighting and dont move your camera! just imagine you were having a conversation with someone about the weather or something. its easy to be calm and confident when the pressure is off, so why should adding a camera to the equation be any different? i really think that reviewing is something that im seriously passionate about and ill continue to do it. i feel like im doing things right, but my vids dont get anywhere. ill just be pacient and hope for the best. thanks for this man.

[akaTRENT]

Uncharted! Exactly! Jon thanks for the accept on the response.

[CleverCAB]

The next CNET reviewer?

[CaptainObviousTV]

good video man and i appreciate that you took the time to put outtakes to show that not even you are perfect

keep the videos coming man

[DjDavidReggaetonMIX]

That was some dem good advice. =)

[DohneyBoy]

Your wearing the same t-shirt like the in your display pic !!.. sorri random

[seanjohn135]

is it safe to use a lithium battery in a dildo? im asking for a friend.

[wwedxraw]

LOL suree u are :P

[freakin16]

u look well sexy in hd;-)x

[appleman978]

Thank you so much for the advice Jon!

[yuyog]

listen too him dont let haters get you down its part for being "famous" if you like

(part of the terrortory)

good look on broadcasting yourself!

[webmanic7]

Thanks for the advice Jon!

[techbolg360]

hey thanks for the advice and I will use that advice to also help me writing better posts on your website

[yellojacks3]

thanks man i just put up my first vid yesterday thanks for the reviews and advice!

[BestReviewer2008]

Love the video! You are the #1 person on youtube untill 1/27/08!

[jsoulesman]

we love you jon. thanx

[agrainofsand08]

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm new and this video was just what the doctor ordered. Many thanks and keep up the good work Jon!

[johnthecarman]

Very good advice Jon. You are a very professional youtuber and anyone starting out cant go wrong with your advice

[arleto3]

Yes I hate it when they pause and say the

ums and likes. Cool Video

[absolon3]

Very well said! Good job.

[AeonTown]

I would only add: Think about the best camera: iSight or Flip/Camcorder. Think about the camera position. Keep it steady and don't zoom in too close. Think about focus if you are moving the product around. And please use TWO hands when unboxing. Watching peeps unbox with one hand while holding the camera with the other drives me crazy.

[iCarluccio]

Jon... you rule! :)

I Love the last bit! Made me lol ;-)

[Sandisk8gb]

wow i dont know why i hate the intro

[PR0DiGY1212]

Just thought I'd comment again, I really enjoyed watching this..I really think you should make a vlog channel :)

Do it! :D

[PR0DiGY1212]

Hey Jon you look hawt in HD ;)

Thanks for the vid :)

[ipoditouchmaccases]

thanks im starting to vid soon

[AlecJenkins1]

Quick question to everybody;

What camera does Jon use to record?

Is it the Flip Mino?

[farleyIsHere4U]

i think he uses his eye sight camera

[AlecJenkins1]

I have an iMac, and my Eye SIght quailty isn't quite this good. Hahahah.

Could be though. Thanks. :)

[TwistedShrapnel]

he uses his flip mino HD I think.... I use my iSight cam and I cannot get any quality this high.

[TimDeNomie]

do you mean iSight?

[SelenaDemiFan96]

hes using the flip mino HD he got from flip he did an unboxing of it

[CORNHOLIOBEAVIS123]

lol at the end

[HurricaneJXXN]

Good Advice.

[RedArmyTech]

Thanks alot!

[vaio1634]

[scott2243363]

[Campwise05]

nice advice i feel this every day with my channel

[Moneyman462]

great advice, ive realized that many reviewers are too nervous and they should watch this video. the reason i subscribed is because of how descriptive and confident you were in your videos.

[CrazyLini]

great video =) helps

[iAustin27]

Thanks for the advice.

[onarudkus]

yeah, great video! It lets us know what things go through his head, when he does the videos. I remember when i first saw his video and noticed how confident and professional he was. That was really what made me subscribe.

[KooKuiKei]

I said it before and I'll say it again; I want to have your baby~!

[FERRALLAVISION]

Great video Jon. Honestly I think it's your best one ever. Not only was it nice of you it really was a big help for me and I'm such many others.

[iHackYourTech]

Great Advice. My favorite part were the outtakes at the end, it shows that others aren't the only ones that don't get it right in one take.

[blgirl911]

[iGadgets]

Happy new year!

[spintopbikes]
