Ahh… but can he make Ghidorah disappear?

Out of all the careers in the world, I would assume a Magician has got to be one of the least rewarding (ranking just above writing for a Mac blog). Even if you’re really good, odds are you won’t make any money and die alone obscurity (or the Poconos). I can’t tell whether this guy is famous or not, and I lack the interest to Google him, but I DO know two things about him: 1 – He’s pretty good (not GREAT, but pretty good) 2 – He’s rich... Read More

I guess Buy.com didn’t get the memo

Given that Walmart is selling brand new 16 GB iPhone 3G S‘s for $97, I can’t help but think Buy.com is being a little optimistic by setting a “5 per customer” limit on these refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G’s for $400 (although this would certainly bode well for me selling my 3Gs on eBay in a month…). AT&T only? Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Walter for the tip!  Read More

Apple – The most romantic OS on the planet

Everyone knows the French are the most romantic people on the planet. After all, they have a 1063 ft erection in the middle of their capital (Ba dum bum!). Well, faithful Macenstein reader Jordan sent us a link to a love song by French singing sensation Calogero which not only makes heavy use of Mac imagery in the video, but the song itself is called “Pomme C”, or “Apple C”, which to all you johnny come latelys is what they Command Key used to be called... Read More

Steve Jobs is delusional

Steve Jobs made a pretty bold claim when he responded to Bryan Webster’s eloquently written question abut the upcoming WWDC: Wow. Them’s fightin’ words to be sure, and they certainly gave ME a chill when I first read them. I immediately had visions of a super-charged, video game playing Apple TV/DVR, fully open to developers, and an iPhone 4 with video chat and condom dispenser… Truly this WWDC is NOT going to disappoint! But then I remembered something…... Read More

Review: Novothink’s Surge solar iPhone charging case

Awww.. she could probably charge it from her smile alone… If you’re anything like me, odds are you’re worried about being able to charge your iPhone once the world ends via either a robot or zombie invasion. After the apocalypse, convenient access to AC power is likely going to be scarce, which is why I was excited to try out the Novothink Surge solar power iPhone charger/case. Read More  Read More

This is what happens when you cancel Hollywood Squares

We saw Pee Wee get a little shot of viral video love for making fun of an Apple product. Let’s see how fellow “MIA for 20 years” Shadoe Stevens does…  Read More

Screenshots of AutoCad for Mac surface – reportedly “Works like $#!%”

Our good friends over at TheAppleLounge have received some screenshots of a beta of AutoCad running on the Mac. According to the user, the software “va una chiavica”, which loosely translates to “works like shit”. But it’s a very very early beta, so we predict by next month it will have progressed to working like crap.  Read More

[UPDATED] Words with Friends tech support appears to suck

[UPDATE: They fixed my games] Public embarrassment and ridicule – the last hope of a desperate man. Many of my faithful readers know that I am a self-confessed “Words with Friends addict, having given the game my first and only “10 out of 10″ review for a game. I invited all of you to get the game and then come beat me (username Dr Macenstein) – and the majority of you did just that, I’m sad to say (there’s even a Facebook group dedicated... Read More
