The Macworld iTablet: Ramblings of a Madman, or does he know something…?

November 30th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Very rarely at Macenstein, someone who knows a little bit of something drops us a tip in the days leading up to a big Mac event, such as Apple’s Macworld this January. More often, however, we get crazy rambling letters from conspiracy nuts. The problem with discounting the conspiracy nuts out of hand is, of […]

Every once in awhile, something so amazingly awesome comes around that even though it has nothing to do with the Mac, I feel obligated to share it with you. Italian Spiderman Trailer is just such a thing. Enjoy.

November 30th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Today (November 30th, for those of you without calendars) is the last day “early iPhone adopters” can redeem their $100 Apple Store credit.

I blew spent mine on Leopard a couple weeks ago, but now that we’re in the thick of the holiday shopping season, I could sure use another… Did I mention how very, very, […]

Urban Legend or Urban Fact? – Steve Jobs and the squishy MacBook

November 29th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Urban legends are usually thought of as pretty cool, quite often involving escaped maniacs and hook-hands stuck to the side of car doors, but even we geeks have urban legends. I learned one such tale today, told to me by a Mac Genius on a trip to the Apple Store, and if you think you […]

At a recent meeting of the Churchill Club in Santa Clara, California, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson (apparently fed up with the constant questions about the iPhone’s 3G plans) allegedly blurted out “You’ll have it next year”.

November 29th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

The fact that the iPhone has been out nearly 6 months now and I have not seen anyone bitch about this yet likely means I am wasting my breath, but who cares? It wouldn’t be the first time.

Mac Vader Pro

November 27th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Any Apple fan with limited garage/basement space has at one time or another been told by the woman in his life (be it a wife or mother) that they need to throw away those giant Apple computer boxes their machines came in. Well, I challenge any nagging wife to refute the awesomeness of THIS shot […]

November 27th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Following our recent hard-hitting, 60 Minutes-esque exposé on the use of expensive electronics as dominoes in advertising, we have now come across a bit of Apple history in the form of the first known “iPod-sized electronic device ” domino footage, and it looks like Apple may once again be able to lay claim to […]
