PowerBook takes a “Major League” hit

I’m the furthest thing you’ll find from a baseball fan, so the idea of being a photographer sent to cover all the “action” of a Pittsburgh Pirates game is scary enough, but check out the carnage that befalls this poor man’s PowerBook during an 8th inning foul ball. (Be sure to check out the chick with the iPhone at the end – priceless). More pics after the jump. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…! Read More  Read More

Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (August 2009): Valeria Tignini

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.

Dane, Gayheart, Miss Teen USA sex tape “Made on a Mac” (litterally?)

Is there a story I can’t apply an Apple-slant to? Apparently not. Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy’s “Dr. McSteamy”), his wife Rebecca Gayheart and former Miss Teen Kari Ann Peniche apparently filmed some sort of sex tape a while back, and, surprise surprise! It has now leaked to the internet (as all sex tapes invariably do – remember that, kids!). The video (link NSWF) basically revolves around them getting stoned while naked, and it’s actually... Read More

Now he just needs to get Clapton to sign his Apple II

Faithful Macenstein reader Ian writes: “Steve Wozniak was in Waterloo (home of RIM) giving a talk. I have a custom built six-string fretless bass which has been signed by numerous inspirational musicians including the guys from Dream Theater (no Portnoy unfortunately!), Victor Wooten (spent a few hours on the tour bus with this amazing bassist!), Roger Hodgeson (Supertramp), Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Alain Caron, Kim Mitchell, Stu Hamm, Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree),... Read More

Confirmed? TomTom’s iPhone GPS Car mount will work with iPod touch, as well as 3rd party navigation apps

Our good friends over at Mac4ever had a sit down with Yann Lafargue, who handles PR for TomTom, and were able to confirm a couple pretty interesting things about TomTom’s forthcoming GPS car kit. It has been known for some time that the car kit was more than a simple mount and charger – it also includes a built in GPS unit designed to replace the iPhone’s somewhat more flaky GPS. Lafargue confirmed many people’s suspicions/hopes by announcing that thanks to... Read More

This kid will either grow up to be awesome, or an asshole

Man, I wish I had 1/10th the self confidence this kid does. He has zero problem show-boating in a crowded Apple store, perfectly lip-syncing and grooving to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. Yes, it’s a horrible song and the kid has apparently wasted far too many hours of his young life listening to it, but still, I am much more like the dude seen at 2:20 than this kid, and a there’s a part of me that wishes I wasn’t. Thanks to faithful Macenstein... Read More
