ENTER TO WIN: A booq Mamba shift L Laptop bag

THANK YOU WE HAVE OUR WINNER! CONGRATS TO FAITHFUL MACENSTEIN READER MICHAEL. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Man, do I envy you. Ever since my last laptop bag broke about 2 months ago, I have been using the girliest of girly laptop backpacks (an old one the Bride of Macenstein wasn’t using anymore) to carry around my precious MacBook Pro. I only WISH I could enter my own contest... Read More

Review: Apps Gone Free

Anyone who’s come to the iPod touch/iPad/iPhone gaming market from a Nintendo DS or PSP will likely think it odd that I would bitch about the 99¢ – $1.99 App Store prices, but hey, you download over 2000 of them (as have I) and these things start to add up. That’s why I can’t recommend highly enough Apps Gone Free (free – iTunes Store) , which showcases... Read More

How To: Make the Angry Birds out of Legos

Lego User and Flickr member OchreJelly has created a pretty adorable Lego set of Angry birds characters, and posted instructions on how you can make your own.

Remove all sense of style from your iPhone with the “Legacy Case”

Given how many iPhone cases I see on a weekly basis it takes something REALLY cool (or stupid) to catch my attention, and this iPhone 4 “Legacy case” from Les Forges MDK studio is both. Currently only a concept, the case is meant to mimic the “design” of the original Macintosh. If you like all the high-tech features of your iPhone 4/4S but wish it had... Read More

iPad ready for Astronauts with butterfingers

Boy, I never get tired of these “Our iPhone/iPod/iPad case is so tough it can withstand (insert something that seems crazy)” videos. Actually, I’m lying. I’m fairly tied of these. Although I will say that G-Form’s video of their iPad safely dropping from space onto a rocky mountain has two things going for it. ONE, it’s nicely shot and has a pretty... Read More

Games That Don’t Suck: Russian Dancing Men

Today’s game that doesn’t suck is the amazingly awesome (and hilariously bizarre) Russian Dancing Men (iTunes: 99¢ – Universal) , from SmashMouth Games. At its heart it’s basically a rhythm game where you need to tap one (or two) buttons at the appropriate time to help your character (a Russian Dance troupe leader) get his group safely over the various obstacles... Read More
