Methinks Apple is a little TOO hip with the kids

There’s little doubt that Apple’s recent hardware updates are sure to be a hit with the kids, but I must say, I think they might have gone a little overboard in some of their new web copy…


I don’t know, is it just me, or when a major corporation tries to act hip, it just comes off like Betty White telling someone to “take a chill pill”?

Thanks to (what I can only hope will be) faithful Macenstein reader Sofia Fontes for pointing this out.

Explaining Inception to a Mac user

I know this has been out there for a couple days, but the family went on a little vacation without me (which ironically is the best vacation I could ever want) so I just finally got around to seeing Inception, and I thought this was pretty clever.

Netflix Instant Streaming comes to the iPhone

Netflix on iPhone

This morning I woke up to a Tweet from faithful Macenstein reader @TheJTizzle alerting me that the long-promised Netflix for iPhone has finally been released. It appears to work awesomely, although it seems to be relegated to just instant streaming titles, (ie, you can’t seem to browse current and upcoming DVD releases and add them to your queue as you can on the iPad, unless I’m missing something) but the streaming works great, even over 3G! I must say, with all their Apple device support, Netflix has become one of the few monthly bills I feel I actually get my money’s worth from. That, and my subscription to Highlights magazine.

Laser-powered stripper platform with built-in iPod dock is this year’s MUST HAVE gift

Well, the iPod connector has now officially been put into everything.

Tasked with the the challenge of creating a “coffee table”, London-based designer Moritz Waldemeyer has gone WAAAY above and beyond the call of duty by creating some sort of laser-beam themed GoGo Dancing platform, complete with smoke machine, and yes, an iPod Dock.

This certainly is cooler than my current coffee table, which consists of a 30 Lucky Charms boxes duct-taped together. Finally, now I can enjoy my “Laser Loggins” and “Laser Floyd” in the privacy of my own home. I have already ordered 3 of these, since there’s no way am I sharing with the kids. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Steve for the tip!

Burglar-proof your iPhone with these “Jersey Shore” cases

Back in MY day, It used to be you could let the world know that you had arrived simply by owning the iPhone. But with iPhone prices dropping and everyone and their sister sporting one now, the air of exclusivity has somewhat disappeared. However, imagine the looks of jealousy, respect, and sexual longing you will receive when people see you have slapped one of these ultra-classy “Jersey Shore” MusicSkins onto your iPhone!

Not buying it? Well, at least no one will steal your iPhone. Personally, even if I removed the stickers, I would still worry I could catch something.
