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... Read More

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... Read More

Reasonable-looking Apple tablet pics surface

As usual, pics of Apple’s top secret device have surfaced exactly 4 hours before the official unveiling.

Note the front-facing camera, and “no carrier” label at... Read More

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.  Read More

How easy is it to stalk celebrities with just an iPhone and Wikipedia? Pretty damn easy, actually

Looks like the iPhone might be the budding paparazzo’s new best friend. Last month I reviewed Background Check App for the iPhone, the app that lets you perform on-the-spot background checks on virtually anyone, anywhere. It being right before Christmas at the time, I mentioned that I planned to have a little fun by looking up all my family and friends at upcoming holiday... Read More

I’d like to give a big thank you to all of you who took the time to enter our “Where in the World is Steve Jobs?” contest! I think if anything this contest proves that just because you own a Mac, doesn’t mean you’re artistic. I kid! I’m sure your mothers all think you are very creative! So without further ado, here are the winners, and a bunch... Read More

Israel hates Jennifer Garner

How else can you explain Israeli airport security firing three shots into the MacBook of Lily Sussman, which just happened to be sporting an Elektra Stamp? (2005′s Elektra of course being the 3rd worst Marvel comic movie of all time, and starring Jennifer Garner in the title role). Above: Elektra proved as hard to kill as the Elektra movie was to watch. In the airport... Read More
