Look who just went Mac shopping! It’s Paris Hilton and her man of the hour Benji Madden.

Paris picked up a brand new MacBook Air, while Madden opted for the MacBook Pro. We spotted Hilton with a MacBook Pro of her own a few months ago, but we’re sure the MBP must have died […]

Studying the effects of centrifugal force on the MacBook Air

June 6th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

I’m a big fan of people with useless talents, mainly because they make me feel better about myself. After all, I may have no talent, but then I didn’t waste all my free time practicing something that is ultimately pointless.

Boy oh boy, did we all have a good laugh when Steve unveiled the Macbook Air, pulling from inside a manila envelope! Oh my, yes! We laughed and we laughed!
But eventually we stopped.
Well, 5 months later the folks over at interofficemac.com apparently still think it’s funny, and are hoping to laugh all the way […]

May 1st | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

OK, some of you balked when I dubbed Jessica Simpson a “Mac Chick” when all I found was a measly iPod last time. Well, here she is with a MacBook Air (once again, no case, and suspiciously held just right for the press…)

Above: Charlie Rose on last Monday’s show showing off his Apple Fanboy battle scars
TechCrunch has a great story that pretty much any Apple Fanboy has to respect. Apparently last Monday, Charlie Rose, host of the creatively named Charlie Rose Show, tripped in a pothole on the way to his studio while carrying […]
