Creepy Video of the Week: An Empty Apple Store

If this doesn’t send shivers down your spine than nothing will. Check out the video shot by YouTube user NSDinfoTV as he waited in line for the iPad 2 a week ago. An empty Apple Store just looks WRONG.  Read More

I prefer LEGOS

ThinkGeek has its usual array of April Fools gag gifts on display today, and by far the standout (for me anyway) is the Playmobil Apple Store. I especially like the hipster Genius Bar guys, and the “optional Line pack” for simulating iPhone/iPad launches, featuring “Segway Woz”. Other Apple-themed items include: Angry Birds Pork Rinds, Edible Gummy... Read More

Oh HELLS no

Hey, are you an iPhone owner who LOVES his/her Crocs? Well, I have good news and bad news for you. The Good news is, you can now buy this Crocs-inspired iPhone case for just $3.24 with FREE SHIPPING! The bad news? If you buy this case you are now banned from reading Macenstein. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jonathan for the tip! via Gizmodiva  Read More

Not that I’m encouraging this… but

Faithful Macenstein reader @blakejoblin sent us this picture of a little mod he did to an Apple Store iPad 2. Looking good, says I. And yes, if you happen to “come across” any Macs or iOS devices displaying our website in an Apple Store (wink, wink), we’d love to hear about it.  Read More

AT&T eats T-Mobile and I am FURIOUS!

Now THAT’S a Super Moon!” While everyone was distracted looking at that EXTREMELY over-hyped Super Moon this weekend (seriously, what was the big deal? It looked the same as always here…) AT&T announced it plans to buy T-Mobile for $39 billion. This is apparently cause for everyone to run around in circles screaming, because it means there will now really... Read More

Australian Cinema Display apparently running at a higher resolution than the rest of the world’s

Looks like Apple’s web guys down under wish their Cinema Displays had an extra inch or so of screen real estate. (Link to the US Page, and Australia). It’s hard to argue their point. Look how big a difference that borderless screen makes in iPhoto. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the link!  Read More

Things I didn’t mention yet- Bon Jovi, Apple Stock, and Naked Mime Chicks

I’ve been pretty busy lately, mainly trying to beat @marcusmichaels at Tiny Wings (and failing miserably) – so there’s a couple Apple-related things I haven’t gotten a chance to comment on. So let’s fix that. It’s kind of hard to argue with Jon Bon Jesus First up: Jon Bon Jovi says Steve Jobs is “personally responsible for killing the music business”.... Read More

Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (March 2011): Jax Turyna

This month we present you with the lovely Jax Turyna, a full time model, student, and of course, a die-hard Mac Chick! Read More  Read More

Latest iPad Parody video has more makeup than Snooki

Move over Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. In fact, keep moving until you get the hell out of my memory entirely. There’s a new latex-clad cross dresser in town, and his name ain’t Eddie Murphy. Actually, I don’t know what it is. I know it isn’t Martin Lawrence either, as he appears to be white. Although he DOES play an African American. And a woman…... Read More

Finally, an unboxing video I can tolerate

If there’s anything I hate more than uboxing videos, it’s… um… well, unboxing stills, I guess. The idea of getting excited watching grainy, underlit shots of a stranger unboxing a gadget I probably wish I had, especially when we’ve seen it for months prior in glorious HD on Apple’s site, is just baffling to me. Still, every once in a while someone... Read More
