And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is why they sell fake iPhones
Remember that dummy iPhone we reviewed all those years ago? Well, guess what I’M doing this weekend? OK, so that’s not what I have planned this weekend, although it DOES involve Super Glue and a couple of frustrated people… [via wantowl via Gawker]

A message from the iPhone to Droid and WinMo
One of the good things about having over 100,000 apps available on the iPhone is it more or less allows you to spell anything. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Xavier for the link [via imgur]

Microsoft Pitch-man Seinfeld upgrades to an iMac
Microsoft Pitch-man Seinfeld upgrades to an iMac
macenstein.com — Faithful Macenstein reader William writes: “Curb Your Enthusiasm had its “Seinfeld reunion” episode on last night. To help bring it to fruition, the production crew faithfully reconstructed the original sets, modernizing them with some updates, ... (more) Microsoft Pitch-man Seinfeld upgrades to an iMac
Family Guy takes a Jab at Windows 7, Mac Os X
Family Guy took a couple of geeky jabs at both Microsoft and Apple’s OS’s recently. One unforseen benefit for Apple in having under 10% of the computer market is that about 10% of the Family Guy audience was familiar enough with OS X to even knew it was an Apple Jab, where EVERYONE ...

This is exactly why I won’t eat at Johnny Rockets
Man, I was JUST about to break down and go to the Microsoft store when luckily faithful Macenstein reader Chuck sent us this video of a COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS AND UNSTAGED employee dance session. As with all Microsoft Store videos, the best part is watching the reactions (or complete lack ...

Review: TrailerSpy Mobile for iPhone
If there’s one thing going to the movies has taught me (aside from never put your jacket down on the floor) it’s that while it is very difficult to make a good movie, it is apparently REALLY EASY to make a good trailer. I would say 8 times out of 10 when I see [...]

Review: Totemo
As odd as it may seem, not all iPhone games begin life on the iPhone. Game maker Hexage seems to have an “Android first” mentality that while seemingly a ludicrous waste of time from a business standpoint, at least lets them iron out most of their games bugs before porting to a ...

This looks scary as hell
I have yet to see the film “Paranormal Activity”, but if it’s half as scary as this trailer for “PC Normal Activity”, well, then… well it won’t be all that scary, actually. (Although my inner fanboy did cringe a couple times). Enjoy! A bit of back story ...

Can you say, “Chick Magnet”?
As if the simple act of owning an Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale wasn’t enough to ensure you a healthy supply of hot and cold running chicks, imagine pulling up the Sorority House of your choosing in said Olds using nothing but your iPhone to control that sweet ride! The hack looks ...

The app is rated 9+, but I think the icon might be NC-17
So Capcom’s new Ghosts’n'Goblins Gold for the iPhone is out, and – GOOD LORD ARTHUR’S PACKING!!!. Above: See if you can spot something odd about this icon. And no, I no, will NOT draw an arrow… Well, the good news is I doubt any Ghost or Goblin will come within 20 ...

Welcome to Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Heather Mote, a Southern Belle who just happens to be a ...

Memovator: The Toughest Game You’ll Ever Love (or love to hate)
When it comes to the iPhone, it seems casual games have enjoyed the greatest success, and it doesn’t get any more casual than a game that almost always ends in 2 or 3 minutes. Memovator is just such a game, or at least it is for me. Like most great games, Memovator is extremely simple [...]

Attention Alien Hunters: Join Team Macenstein
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Hollywood, it’s that aliens are always friendly. And as someone who has been unable to make HUMAN friends, I’ve recently cast my lonely gaze skyward, in hopes of finding someone who shares my love of tech, my obsession with ...

Profanity: When a 4 letter word just doesn’t cut it

Review: iSkin Pro Vibe keyboard cover for MacBook/Pro/Air
It has been well documented that my love of blogging is rivaled only by my love of UTZ cheeseballs. This unfortunate battle for my affection has often left my MacBook Pro caught in the middle, with cheeseball encrusted keys. So when the good people at iSkin asked if I wanted to check out their [...]

Happy Halloween from Macenstein!
Well, here’s a real treat! Mac chick of the Month June 2009 Irina Voronina and her Mac-loving friends Brooke Taylor and Raynecat were nice enough to show us that Apple gear is the perfect accessory to any costume. Oddly I was going to wear the same Devil costume. Enjoy!

The best Apple-themed Halloween costume… EVER
And on the 8th day, God created Steve Jobs, who subsequently invented Woz, who then begot Apple, which hired Tony Fadell, and so on and so forth until Dr.Macenstein founded Macenstein.com, which produced the Mac Chick of the Month. OK, I’ll admit it’s been a little while since ...

This is why I never jailbreak my pumpkins

Random thoughts: Apple’s 100,000 iPhone apps and the Google GPS app
Two things happened today that filled me with a resounding feeling of… “meh”. Well, actually lots of underwhelming things happened today (I’m rather hard to overwhelm thanks to various mood evening drugs)) but two Apple-related things happened. Apple to hit 100,000 ...
