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

“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
Windows 8’s new BSoD blames the hardware manufacturers for crashes
When looking to upgrade an operating system, especially one that has been around as long as Windows (and largely unchanged since Windows 98), it’s always a good idea to take a look at the features your customers use the most and update those to make the idea of upgrading more enticing.
