Loading ...Aww crap, and my birthday just passed…

Each year people ask me what I want for my birthday, and each year I can’t think of anything that I want that costs less than $300, so I get nothing. Yet take a look at these kick-ass iPhone app icon Refrigerator magnets!
At only $12.99 they would have made the perfect gift! … if only I had a black refrigerator… which I guess bumps the price up by at least $800… so once again I get nothing.

Apple’s most successful Hollywood product placements
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick, video
Speaking of beautiful celebrity Mac Chicks, I used to follow Alyssa Milano on Twitter, not only because she is still remarkably hot, but she is one of the true celebrity geek girls out there, as well as a die hard Mac Chick. However, being a celebrity apparently comes with a LOT of free time, and her near constant Tweets just kept me from focusing on my truly important ones, like the Big Ben Clock. So I reluctantly unfollowed her. But as Faithful Macenstein reader (and Alyssa follower) Xyber Druid recently reminded me, Alyssa often DOES share some pretty good Apple info.
Take her recent find of a Geek.com article on Apple’s Hollywood product placement. According to the article, for the past two years Apple managed to sneak its gear into nearly HALF of the top grossing movies. That’s not too shabby given Apple’s marketshare in the real world isn’t 1/5th as large.
Of course the fan boy in me likes to think that the reason those movies were so successful in the first place is that they had Apple gear in them. I mean, who’s going to pay $15 (plus popcorn) to see an HP? Anyway, check out this clip from The Awl of some of Apple’s most successful Hollywood product placements over the years, and to Alyssa, if you’re reading, I promise to follow you again if you agree to a short interview and a few nice pics of you with your Apple gear. Those are my demands.

Steve Jobs could totally bang Jolene Blalock
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick, video
If you’re a fan of Star Trek, odds are you know of the super hot Jolene Blalock - you know, the girl so hot she wasn’t just hot for a Star Trek chick (like Jeri Ryan) she was hot for a TV chick in general, which is saying something. Well, faithful Macenstein reader Dan sent us this clip of Jolene being interview on G4’s Attack of the Show, and not only describing herself as a geek, but a Steve Jobs-loving, AT&T-bashing Mac Chick to boot!
