HEY NOW! Howard Stern to sign $600 million 3 year agreement with Apple to host an Internet/TV/iTunes broadcast ?

EDIT: Nope, looks like it’s just wishful thinking Um… SIRIUSLY? I mean, seriously? Well, it seems doubtful, but that’s what Shabooty is reporting, anyway. Well, that would be awesome. For Stern, that is, not me, or many of his listeners. I’m one of those Stern fans who bought the lifetime Sirius subscription when Howard made the jump to Sirius radio from... Read More

Steve Jobs, man of action, is now an action figure

Well, I don’t know if I would cal this an “action figure”, as it is incapable of action/movement, but damn, this $80 Steve Jobs Action Figure from M.I.C. is amazingly detailed. I mean seriously, check out those shoes! If you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift for me an Apple geek, this is probably the only sure-fire hit out there right now, aside... Read More

I smell a Nerf Gun war!

Here at Macenstein Labs, we pride ourselves on providing our employees with a ridiculously fun and immature working environment… in lieu of payment. But it looks like the folks over at iOS game developers ngmoco might be trying to steal some of our employees away with this latest Twitter post. “An LED Cinema Display fort has appeared at #ngmoco HQ this morning.” ... Read More

I would put this on the front of my Windows 7 phone

Those looking for a way to protect their iPhone’s from scratches without the bulk (or protection) of a case have long turned to stickers to fill the void. For the most part people like to go the Invisible Shield route, but more and more we’ve be seeing protective stickers with some really nice graphic prints on them ranging from consumer-friendly Iron Man to the more... Read More

Pocket God’s “Double Rainbow” update is the greatest milestone in iPhone history

If you own an iPhone, odds are by this point, you either own Pocket God or have long ago decided it was so stupid that you would NEVER buy it and anyone who did is an idiot. Well, if you’re open to listening to the opinion of an idiot, I must wholeheartedly recommend you pick up Pocket God, if for no other reason than the latest update, entitled “Double Rainbow All... Read More

Now THAT’S a Mobile Home!

We’re no stranger to the Apple inspired art of Uber-talented interface artist Johannes P Osterhoff, but we must say, we’re quite impressed with his latest endeavor, the “Giant Home Folder Icon”. While it was apparently not designed as a Halloween costume, I would have definitely put an extra Snickers in his bag if he showed up to my house. And let... Read More
