April 16th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Few apps have excited me personally the way the latest version of Roxio’s Toast has been able to. I’ll admit that my situation may be somewhat unique, but for those of you who have committed to the digital video lifestyle, as have I, Toast 9 is a must-have tool.
First, to let you know where […]

Review: Scandyna MicroPod SE speakers and dock for iPod

April 15th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

In looking over my recent speaker reviews, I’ve noticed that I have given out quite a few 8 and 9 out of 10 ratings… well, prepare yourself for yet another. It seems as though speaker technology has gotten so good in recent years that it’s almost impossible to make a bad-sounding iPod speaker for […]

March 26th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Above: Know what that is? That’s some top-notch stitchin’, that’s what that is!
Now that the weather is warming up, I have decided to (reluctantly) put down the cheeseballs, and start exercising again. I haven’t really been running since last November and a lot has changed since then. First of all, I am ridiculously out of […]

QuickTime VR (sort of ) finally comes to the iPhone

March 22nd | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

I’ve lamented about the iPhone’s lack of QTVR support for some time now, and it looks like at least one other person, Marco Giorgini, also thought the omission was odd. Luckily for the rest of us, while all I could do was bitch and moan, Marco was actually smart enough to fix the problem. […]

iPods and iPhones that can heal themselves… We’re one step closer to the robot uprising

March 20th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

We’ve all seen it in movies a thousand times… A snail-loving scientist wonders if there is a way to bond protein to various elements in the periodic table and grow new materials, one thing leads to another, and then BAM! Skynet becomes self aware on August 29th 1997 2:14 am Eastern Time.
Well, if […]

March 14th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

The idea of wirelessly streaming music from a remote home media server to a living room audio system has long been the “Holy Grail” for husbands who have been forced by their wives to move their bulky computers into the basement, and who have been told they cannot drill holes in walls and run […]

iEmulator for iPhone/iPod touch - Finally, the “I Love You” virus can run on the iPhone

March 12th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Above: that’s right, we’re assuming if Windows DOES ever run on the iPhone, the auto-rotate feature won’t work (actually, we were just too lazy to do a proper Photoshop job).
iEmulator has announced that thanks to Apple’s recently announced iPhone SDK, it will be able to bring a Windows emulator to the iPhone by the […]

Publicity stunt, gimmick, or ploy? You Decide!

February 28th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Abilene Christian University first university in nation to provide iPhone or iPod touch to all incoming freshmen. And there’s probably a reason for that.
I’m sorry… I am all for schools adopting the latest and greatest technology (especially Apple’s) but this has the words “publicity stunt” written all over it. I’m not sure giving away […]
