This month we present you with the lovely Lea Anne, a Race Car Driver and TV Host, and we’re proud to say, our first iPad Chick!
Exclusive pics of the Shanghai China Apple store grand opening
Above: The first guy in line.
True to his word, faithful Macenstein reader Min has returned with pics of the Shanghai China Apple store grand opening, as well as his take on the festivities. Enjoy!
Hey Doc,
I got there at 7am. There were already hundreds of people waiting in line. By the time at 11:30am, there were thousands of people in the queue! And lots of reporters on the site. It’s pretty hot day, store workers were giving out free water to the waiting customers. A few lucky people got apple logo umbrella. I am one of them.
These umbrella’s body are made form fiberglass! Pretty cool stuff. I wish they could make some limited edition fiberglass back iPhone 4. The first 5000 customers also get a free T-shirt. I got one, haha!
The store is huge! I think it’s bigger than the one in New York. By the way, there is a guy and his wife (or girlfriend) camped at the store 2 days before the opening. He is the first customer got into the store. There is a photo of him in the set (he is the guy with the Steve Jobs’ flag in one of the photos).
Best Buy selling new iPhone killer
I respect Best Buy for not dropping the price by a penny to make it LOOK cheaper than it is.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader CJL087 for the link!

The UK’s Sun and Daily Mail fooled by iPhone Ghost app
We’re not exactly ones to check our sources, but then again, we’re a web page, and if it turns out we write something stupid, we can always hit “delete” and hope everyone forgets about it. (Yes, I know, Google never forgets). But unfortunately for UK papers the Sun and Daily Mail, their idiocy will live on in print for years. Case in point: Check out the following stories both papers ran when John Ware, a 47-year old builder, sent in a pic he allegedly snapped of a 19th century ghost boy while his company tore down an old school house.
The Sun
The Daily Mail
Very Spooky, to be sure. Yet, as you can see, that mysterious ghost boy is ALSO haunting the 99ยข iPhone app “Ghost Capture“, which allows you to place a variety of ghosts on top of any photo you’d like.

Some things are just so stupid that they’re awesome…

… and some things are just stupid.
I am somewhat on the fence here about the Retro TV Dinner Turkey Corn and Mash Potatoes Gadget Case for the iPhone/iTouch.
Sure, it seems like a good idea for a joke gift, but at $20 it rivals the cost of many “real” iPhone cases that a person might actually use. Now, if it looked like bacon, that would be different. But as it stands, there are simply too many carbs for me.

Reasonable-looking Apple tablet pics surface
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Photos, Rampant Speculation, Rumors
As usual, pics of Apple’s top secret device have surfaced exactly 4 hours before the official unveiling. An Engadget tipster has sent out what appear to be pretty convincing shots of an Apple Tablet-like device, bolted to a table (presumably to prevent this sneaky shutterbug from stealing it outright).
Note the front-facing camera, and “no carrier” label at the top, in line with rumors of a Verizon wireless contract and video chat. Four more hours…
The world’s most advanced Vodka
Faithful Macenstein reader Chris came across an interesting beverage while in Poland recently:
I suppose we’d have to check with the Polish highway safety department to be sure, but I would wager there are far fewer drunk driving “crashes” caused by Snow Leopard Vodka than Windows 7 Vodka.
