Bill Gates, as Kermit the Frog, praising Apple Computers

April 30th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Welcome to the most surreal video you will see today. Behold the voice of Bill Gates put into the body of Kermit the Frog, praising Apple Computers.
Genius!

The original Gates clip was recorded in 1984, and it’s funny just how much Bill sounds like Kermit. Jim Henson productions should have definitely tried to tap him for […]

April 16th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Ok, let me just say that I work in the corporate video market, and I have seen a lot of bad shit go down, from Sopranos parodies to 24… but… Jesus Christ man.

“We’re gonna keep rockin with SP1!”
Good lord, does that mean there’s an SP2 video floating around somewhere out there? Most likely parodying the […]

Microsoft enters the chip business - “potato”, not “micro”

March 28th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Wow, this recession must have Microsoft worried. Check out their latest efforts to diversify their product line!

From Egypt, the land where copyright law is apparently as prevalent as snow pants, comes Windows brand ketchup-flavored potato chips. And of course, what better way to wash those delicious chips down than with a can of […]

Sure, Steve’s had his share of keynote bloopers, but for some reason I find it endlessly more fascinating to watch Bill Gates squirm during this classic piece of tape during the CES debut of Windows Media Center. He looks like a little boy in that giant chair, fresh from being removed from a […]

Turns out the latest “Mac security hole” does Windows

March 6th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

You play with FireWire, you’re gonna get burned…
Remember that “critical” Mac OS security exploit we told you about last week? Well as it turns out, it isn’t just a problem for the Mac. Windows XP is apparently vulnerable as well, and Windows users may actually have more to worry about than we Mac geeks.

March 2nd | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Well, it looks like Microsoft is once again discriminating against .Mac users who want to use MSN Messenger. You may recall that back in September people with “@mac.com” e-mail addresses who tried to login in to Messenger were forced to change their e-mail to something else like, oh I don’t know “hotmail” in order […]

On Macworld Eve: Two more nails in Vista’s coffin

January 14th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

With Apple Fanboyism running at an all time high, I hesitated writing this article as I feared some of my fellow Mac-heads’ brains might implode from the euphoria caused by reading any anti-Microsoft news so close to the Stevenote… but ultimately I figured I would risk it in the interest of pseudo journalism.
So, be […]
