WOW this makes Apple look really bad if it’s true
Personally I see no reason for Apple to be quaking in its boots over Google’s Android platform, but apparently it is as according to Flash of Genius, the developers of a SAT test prep app called Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab 2.2, Apple has “asked” them to remove all references to Android in their app description.

[UPDATED] Chuck Norris Steve Jobs is so bad ass “he can get a Whopper at McDonald’s”
What do Steve Jobs and Chuck Norris have in common? They’re both ass-wipes. Well, at least the deified, internet version of Chuck Norris is (I’m sure he’s a lamb in real life). But according to NYMag, Steve Jobs is a different matter. At a recent top-secret dinner held for 50 NY TImes execs, Steve Jobs made a “surprise” appearance to show off the... Read More
Man, is there anything that DOESN’T set Hitler off?
First we saw Hitler get upset when his car got stolen, then about the lack of camera in the iPod touch, and again when he got banned from xBox live. Well, surprise surprise, Hitler’s not exactly thrilled with the iPad either. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Matt and the rest of you who sent this in. Read More
iPad: The Good, The Bad, and the Meh
OK, so I have given myself a whopping 7 hours to think about the iPad, and while conventional wisdom might say I need to wait 2 months and actually hold one to truly form my opinion of the device, my brain is so evolved, and my “Awesome detector” so refined, that I can render a final judgment at record speed. So sit back, and prepare to learn the Good, the Bad, and... 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

Even the way Macs CRASH is artsy
When James Theophane, creative director for the Lost Boys agency, was asked to contribute a piece of art for a recent reception, he decided to go the “mixed medium” route. Taking a horrible old Flea Market painting, James painted over the lower half and added a motorized foam core “beach ball of death” to simulate a Mac freezing up while loading a jpg. Of... Read More
No need for the tinfoil shield guys, you aren’t getting laid
I never really understood the whole “destroy tech on YouTube” thing, I guess I’m sort of missing the “attention whore” gene, but if I WERE to destroy a gadget on YouTube at the tail end of 2009, I don’t think I would use a product from 2007 to prove I was cool. Yet, that’s just what Jory Caro and the folks over at “Is It A Good Idea... Read More
Random thoughts: Apple’s 100,000 iPhone apps and the Google GPS app
Two things happened today that filled me with a resounding feeling of… “meh”. Well, actually lots of underwhelming things happened today (I’m rather hard to overwhelm thanks to various mood evening drugs)) but two Apple-related things happened.

My GOD those are huge coffee mugs!
Here we have a clip of CNN’s Kiran Chetry being given the old “what for” by The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart. Stewart points out the hypocrisy of Chetry doing a report on the dangers of texting while driving, when just the day before she touted all the real-time traffic features of CNN’s new mobile iPhone app, saying it was great to have that available...
