This is Nelson. Nelson has my stolen iPhone.
This is Nelson. Nelson has my stolen iPhone. When Katy McCaffrey couldn’t find her iPhone during a recent Disney Cruise, she suspected the worst, and with good reason. Despite all those stories you read of stolen iPhones being recovered using Find My iPhone, I know from personal experience that not only can’t the police really do anything (my wife’s iPhone was...

Enter to Win: an iTwin remote file access USB thingy!
No, an iTwin is NOT one half of a set of identical Mac Chicks (although that WOULD be pretty sweet), but it’s the next best thing! It’s a secure file sharing device that works with both Macs and PC’s that allows you to access any files or drives on one computer from another, anywhere in the world, with no monthly fees! Take THAT, Dropbox, iCloud, and a couple... Read More
Introducing the Vapor Ware Leap for Mac!
It’s always refreshing when talented 3D artists stop making fake iPhone 5 prototypes and turn their attention to something more important – like making fake XBox Kinnect for Mac videos! Check out this pretty sweet video for something called “The Leap”, a little box (too little to actually work, methinks) that basically adds Minority Report/Tony Stark tech to... Read More
Review: Scosche backSTAGE Pro headrest mount for iPad
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that kids suck. Especially on 16-hour road trips. I honestly don’t know how my dad didn’t kill my brothers and I on our childhood drive to Florida back in the days before iPods – we must have been SO annoying. Well, luckily today’s parents have a little something called an “in-dash DVD player”... Read More
Robo-Steve reviewed – new model in the works
Hey, remember AP-PEL (aka “Steve”), the Apple-themed Robot from 3A Ashley Wood we told you about last September? Of course you do! You’ve memorized every post we’ve made. Well, someone actually bought one! TheFwoosh got their hands on one of the $200-$300 little guys and gave it a very in-depth review. Suffice it to say, if you think you want it based on... Read More
Low Battery Temporary Tattoos
Whether you’re looking for a way to let mom know you’re hungry or to let the boss know you need to go home early, these Low Battery Temporary Tattoos are brilliantly stupid. Christoph Niemann is selling them in sets of 2 for $5.oo. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Aimster for the tip! via SuperPunch #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item... Read More
Android tells Apple to Suck It
If there’s one thing that has been missing in the cellular phone wars being waged across the globe, I think we can all agree it’s sodomy. Or, at least it WAS until one enterprising phone store in China decided to let the world know that Apple sucks Droid’s D – – K. There’s a couple things worth noting here, most notably that the Droid apparently suffers... Read More
Having a Cell Phone was ALWAYS cool
Wow, this will take you back, assuming you were alive in the 80′s. Witness Zack Morris’ (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) awesome cell phone from Saved by the Bell. It’s a slow news day Friday, so there’s really nothing overly Apple about this post, other than Apple should really hire Gosselaar to be the iPhone’s next spokesperson given how ahead of the cell...

Want to know how mentally unstable you are? There’s an App for that
And on the odd chance it’s accurate, I appear to be ready to go off at any minute. The app is called iMind & Mood(iTunes), and it’s free today. The app lets you choose a mental disorder (ADHD, Depression, BiPolar, etc.) and after answering a few questions, you get a diagnosis and suggestion as to whether or not you should seek treatment. I don’t know how... Read More
Games that don’t suck: FIVE-O
What’s more exciting that Scrabble? EVERYTHING! But, imagine if someone added MATH to Scrabble! Now THAT would bring some excitement to the game, RIGHT!??! Well, we’re in luck, because someone did add math to Scrabble, and it’s called Five-O ($1.99 iTunes link), and it’s kind of great. If you’ve played Scrabble/Words with Friends, you should be able...
