This video makes me want to cry

Anyone who has every tried to draw something on the iPad will probably relate to my feeling of despair at watching this video. Apparently, as evidenced by New York artist David Kassan, it actually IS possible to make some truly inspiring art using just the $8 Brushes App and your finger, which means the reason my paintings come out so horrible is that I suck. Actually, I prefer... Read More

Stolen internet tastes even sweeter in iOS 4

Remember Netshare, the first app to bring non-jailbreaking tethering to the iPhone, and subsequently the first app to be pulled from the app store? I’ll forgive you if you don’t, as it was only available for about 36 hours in an odd “on again, off again” cycle in the early days of the app store. Well, FYI, for anyone who was lucky enough to snag it back in... Read More

HTC EVO vs iPhone4

I know these types of “iPhone vs. movies” tend to over simplify the pros and cons of both devices to support whichever fanboy camp their makers happen to be in, but since I’m firmly in the Apple camp, I like to think this makes some pretty sweet points. (Warning, these virtual Muppets are dropping F-Bombs like they’re going out of style). Thanks to faithful... Read More

First music video shot entirely on an iPhone 4 tricks us into posting about it

Faithful Macenstein reader (and lead singer of the band The Anix) Brandon Smith writes: We filmed this entire video using only one iphone 4, literally minutes after taking it out of the box. All we had were tri-pods that we would tape the phone to or anything we could use to keep the phone steady. The song was recorded using Logic 9, on a MacBook Pro i7. As a disclaimer, this... Read More
