Time Capsule combined with Time Machine is a great way to backup your files, but a horrible way to protect them in cases of fire or theft. Odds are, any natural disaster that takes down your computer will likely destroy a Time Capsule sitting a couple feet from it, and odds are if someone breaks […]
While Steve Jobs’ biological parents have been well documented, faithful Macesntein reader Marcelo Alves has come up with an interesting theory on the origin of Steve’s reality distortion field:
Hi,
(first, English isn’t my native language)
Well, Albert Hofmann, the creator of LSD died today (102 years, died by a heart attack ). Don’t you […]
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 […]

Remember when crazy faithful Macenstein reader Doug wrote us telling us to expect Apple to release at least two and possibly even three models of iPhone this spring? (see Even more rumors: The new iPhones’ specs) Well, two conflicting reports from two fairly major and reputable sites suggest their may […]
A reminder that the MacUpdate Parallel’s Bundle turns into a pumpkin tonight at midnight, so if you were thinking of picking up Parallels and the other 9 apps for less than the price of Parallels alone, now is your chance.
It is coincidentally also your last chance to support Macenstein by buying the bundle by clicking […]
[UPDATE: Yep, new iMacs, see below for specs]
I promised nearly a year ago that I would never again write an article saying “Apple store is down“, and I plan to stick to that. But I can’t help what my readers write…
