Microsoft knows the “keys” to getting an Apple-sized line at its store opening
And they’re BLACK! See what I did there? No? Well, watch this hilarious video of Microsoft’s latest store opening at University Village, Seattle. Yes, unlike every single Apple Store grand opening – where folks will often camp out overnight simply to be one of the first to cross the glass threshold of the new store and lay out their cold hard cash – it appears...

MOOF!
OK, so it’s not quite Clarus the DogCow, but check out this naturally Apple-branded iCow from Holten in the Netherlands (near Amsterdam) sent in by faithful Macenstein reader Erik Gigengack. “”From its birth in 2006 it was clear that she was special,” says farmer Wim Reijlink “We therefore call it the iCow, but her real name is Sina 609”. via...

Awww! She thinks she’s PEOPLE!
Is there anything cuter than little babies playing with iPads? Yes there is. But it’s hard to get bunnies to ride to bicycles, so we’ll take babies with iPads for now. Of course eventually there will be nothing unusual or cute about this at all, as eventually ALL babies will have iPads and be baffled by the non-interactiveness of traditional magazines. Now, as quick... Read More
Flowers outside the Shanghai Apple Store
Faithful Macenstein reader Min Wei writes: “Hi Doc, I was on the bus this morning and read the news about Steve. It is so sad he is gone. I happened to pass the Apple Store at Pudong Shanghai. There are some flowers and his picture in front of the store. Many shoppers stopped and paid their respects before they entered the store. Here are the three photos I took. The last... Read More
iMiss Him Already
It seems like just yesterday we were speculating as to whether or not Steve Jobs might make a surprise appearance at the “Let’s Talk iPhone” event. Actually it WAS just yesterday, which is why the surprise news of Steve Jobs’ death today actually brought a little smile to my cynical lips. Given all the speculation over Steve’s health in recent years,... Read More

Let’s Talk iPhone: The Good The Bad, and the Meh
As with all big Apple events, I once again find people turning to me for my opinion on the announcements from Apple’s Let’s Talk iPhone Event. Honestly I can’t blame them, as my opinion is often the only correct one when it comes to such things. I seem to have the uncanny ability to cut through the hype with laser beam-like precision, and somehow categorize the... Read More
Well, I suppose technically this counts…
“Wife’s iPad. I just wanted to play angry birds.” That is the title of this image snapped from an unsuspecting (but hopefully happy) husband and now expectant father to be. Honestly, I can’t think of a better or more creative way to tell your Apple-nerd of a husband about an impending birth. In fact, The Bride of Macenstein has long since learned the ONLY... Read More
Run, don’t walk, to pick up your $5 Apple shoes!
I’m seriously thinking of moving to China, just to save on the shipping costs of all the awesome Apple-related knockoffs I end up buying. Case in point, check out these awesome $5 Apple logo sneakers they have over there! Of course the only problem with my plan is I would sell my house, uproot my family, and dig all the way there only to find that no one in China has a size... Read More
