Can you say, “Chick Magnet”?
As if the simple act of owning an Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale wasn’t enough to ensure you a healthy supply of hot and cold running chicks, imagine pulling up the Sorority House of your choosing in said Olds using nothing but your iPhone to control that sweet ride!
Above: Nice touch smashing the Dell boxes.
The hack looks simple enough, and I’d guess it shouldn’t take the average person more than 20 minutes or so. All you need are a few things you likely have sitting around the house already – like a couple wrenches and an old Power Wheels. And a laptop and a motorcycle chain. And a potentiometer. And an engineering degree.
Oh, and they had to rip out the power windows and the front seat, but hey, you planned to spend most of your time in the back seat anyway, am I right?

The app is rated 9+, but I think the icon might be NC-17
So Capcom’s new Ghosts’n'Goblins Gold for the iPhone is out, and – GOOD LORD ARTHUR’S PACKING!!!.
Above: I remember in the NES version Arthur having a slight bulge, but this is just disturbing.
Well, the good news is I doubt any Ghost or Goblin will come within 20 feet of this guy.
Who the hell made this icon?!? Whoever it was got a little confused on the whole Excalibur legend. As I recall the Lady of the Lake bestowed a giant SWORD upon King Arthur, not a giant… uh… codpiece. Although quite frankly this could make for a much more legendary tale…
Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (November 2009): Heather Mote
Welcome to Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Heather Mote, a Southern Belle who just happens to be a die-hard Mac Chick! (oh, and November is also her birthday month, so everyone say Happy Birthday).
Heather is a typical “Georgia Peach”, outgoing, fun loving, and adventurous. Spending time outdoors hiking, skiing, or anything to do with a challenge is what Heather enjoys most….finishing her first Nautica triathlon last April, Heather wants to continue to move forward and hopefully one day become an Iron woman.

Memovator: The Toughest Game You’ll Ever Love (or love to hate)
When it comes to the iPhone, it seems casual games have enjoyed the greatest success, and it doesn’t get any more casual than a game that almost always ends in 2 or 3 minutes. Memovator is just such a game, or at least it is for me.
Like most great games, Memovator is extremely simple to play, yet extremely difficult to master. The game puts you in the role of an elevator operator – an occupation not seen since the days of Looney Tunes cartoons. As each person enters the elevator, they will tell you which of the 20 floors they would like to get off on. The elevator makes a constant loop from floor 1 to 20 and back down again. When you hit a requested floor, just tap anywhere on the screen to stop the elevator and let the passengers out and let new ones in. Simple, right? Well, try it, and see how far you get. I’m stuck around 27 or so… without cheating, that is. (Incidentally, If you are interested in reading about a Memovator cheat that could give you a score of 200 or more, check out our sister site The iPhone Cheat Sheet). Read more
Attention Alien Hunters: Join Team Macenstein
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Hollywood, it’s that aliens are always friendly. And as someone who has been unable to make HUMAN friends, I’ve recently cast my lonely gaze skyward, in hopes of finding someone who shares my love of tech, my obsession with cheeseballs, and who can help me build my own light saber. So I decided to join the SETI@home program, which, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a scientific experiment run by the University of Berkeley that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). I assume the ultimate goal is to detect aliens so we can sneak up on them and steal their space oil, but I’m hoping to make a friend or two as well.
Basically the deal is you sign up, download the SETI program BOINC, and then set your computer to help search for ET whenever it is idle. You have full control over how much computing power you let SETI use, and when it uses it. So for instance, you can set it to only run at night, or you can set it to run whenver the Seti Screensaver runs. It’s up to you.
Never one to do anything half-assed (well, OK, I do everything half-assed) I decided to start my own Seti Team. So far the team consists of me and one faithful reader from the UK, Mr. Billy Cape of Yorkshire on Pudding. But I hoping by reaching out to my vast readership, we can make that number DOUBLE. So sign up (takes 1 minute) and join Team Macenstein. I have a feeling when we find alien life, everyone in the program gets a free jetpack or sex robot or some such other technological space wonder, so sign up now! (CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR TEAM).
