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
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Mac Chick of the Month
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 I’ve been to church, but that’s more or less how I remember it going down. Anyway, there can be no denying that the Mac Chick of the Month is a gift from above, and this month as a special Halloween treat we once again present you with the lovely Aerin, who you may remember as our Miss December 2008. Why the repeat performance? Well, quite frankly when we got word that Aerin had decided to dress up (or DOWN, actually) as “Eve” for her Halloween costume this year, we couldn’t imagine a more perfect “Apple”-themed costume to showcase here on Macenstein! So sit back, whip out your Old Testament, and watch as Eve awakens in Paradise to discovers a very special “Apple” in the Garden of Eden. Read more
This is why I never jailbreak my pumpkins
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Humor, iTunes
Sure I love all the cool things I can do with a jailbroken pumpkin, but when things go wrong, they go horribly wrong. I resolved last year to stop jailbreaking my pumpkins, and this picture reminds me of exactly why I decided to suck it up and just make do with the firmware that ships natively with the fruit.
It takes roughly 2 hours to restore a 12 pound pumpkin via iTunes, and the 20 pound model takes up to 3 hours. It just isn’t worth it.

Random thoughts: Apple’s 100,000 iPhone apps and the Google GPS app
Filed under: Apple Bashing, Cynicism, Opinion, iTunes
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 iPhone Apps
The first announcement did not officially come from Apple itself, rather it came via the blog-o-sphere. Apparently Apple has now passed (or will reach in the next day or so) the 100,000 mark of apps on iTunes. I’m not all that sure that Apple should be all that proud of hitting that milestone. If anyone should be proud of that astronomical number, it is the developers of Apple’s iPhone Software Development Kit. They apparently did such a good job at designing the SDK that even people who have zero talent, originality, programing or artistic ability can now easily create a horrible app that does basically nothing.

Hosting Your Windows 7 Torrenting Party
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Humor, Microsoft Bashing
Like many British skits, this parody of Microsoft’s “Host a Windows 7 launch party” video is pretty damn funny, right up until the very end where they obviously didn’t know how to end it. I almost would have preferred to see Monty Python’s giant Foot squash them, but still the concept is awesome, as is the first minute forty, so enjoy.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Phelim for the tip!
