SmartPhone Wars

I’m not sure I like the idea of Apple apparently playing the part of a somewhat “on the ropes” General Grievous to Android’s Obi-Wan, but I must admit, this shot is awesome, and my new desktop wallpaper. click to download wallpaer via reddit  Read More

I never knew hair could grow that thick

Guess who found a problem with the Verizon iPhone’s antenna? Why it’s Apple’s nemesis, Consumer Reports, back trying to start Antennagate 2.  Read More

iPad 2 is gonna be awesome

New MacBook Pros showcase why Apple fans suck

As much as one can feel bad for a company with the 2nd-highest market capitalization in the world, I must say I really felt for Apple during this week’s MacBook Pro launch. No sooner had the MacBooks hit the online store then the apathetic headlines and forum posts began flooding the interwebs. The terms “underwhelming” and “modest upgrades” were thrown around more often than when the new Snuggie was unveiled (now with pockets!). Once again, the... Read More

Thank you, we have a winner. This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein readers Timothy and Alexander! Mmmm… can you smell it?

Amazing: Boy Born Without a Cerebellum still able to use an iPad

I’m going to try to be careful with this one, as obviously the idea of a 3 year-old child not only surviving but thriving after being born without the part of the brain that controls things like balance, motor skills, and most importantly, BREATHING is nothing short of a miracle… but as inspirational as Chase Britton and his family are, this is not the type of story one would expect to find on the cold, heartless pages of Macenstein without there being at least SOME... Read More

Someone’s missing…

Steve Jobs: A Real American Hero

Look what showed up in the mail from Hong Kong today! My Steve Jobs Ninja action figure. Finally, someone can protect my desk from Cobra Commander’s evil plans. With his optional “Shuriken hand”, Steve really knows how to lay the smack down. And knowing is half the battle. Apparently Orange Domo can’t believe the awesomeness he is witnessing.  Read More

Enquirer says Steve Jobs has 6 weeks left to live: Mariah Carey’s sister is a $250 per hour adult escort

Man, I am REALLY missing those days when the National Enquirer ran nothing but Big Foot sightings and alien probing stories. Unfortunately, in recent years the Enquirer has become a fairly accurate and legitimate news source, breaking some fairly major stories in the tabloid world, which is all the more disheartening as their latest headline claims that Steve Jobs has only 6 weeks to live. If there’s a ray of hope we can take from the report, it’s the seemingly... Read More
