iPad-based Mantaray iTar is almost as weird as its inventor
Actually, it’s not even close. Inventor FRANZ KELLER is much weirder. But still, “VJFranzK” does seem to believe in his product, and will actually sell any aspiring synth musician one of his brand new Mantaray iTar’s (iPad not included) for somewhere around $300. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader PJ for the tip! Read More
A new take on the Konami code
Above: I’m not how you “level up”, but she sure seems happy. Yet another odd app approval choice in Apple’s totally arbitrary “war on porn” to protect our children, although I must say, I am almost tempted to get this one based solely on the “reset” procedure (below). Kind of makes up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right,... Read More
Behold! The iMac tablet computer that never was, courtesy of Rusty
Remember all those rumors a couple years ago about Apple working on an iMac where you could remove the screen and use it as a tablet, then come home at night and dock it? Well, apparently faithful Macenstein reader Rusty does. Check out his extremely sweet iPad/iMac lovechild. The 40 gig hard drive took a dive, and there was no way I would find a cheap replacement. And the... Read More
Apple’s “Back to School” program doesn’t add up
As any faithful reader will tell you, math is not my strong suit. Nor is spelling, grammar, science, or hygiene for that matter, which is why I like to leave the heavy thinking to my readers. Case in point, faithful Macenstein reader Aaron has noticed that the student pictured in Apple’s latest Back-to-School promo might be getting less than a stellar education. “Hey... Read More
iPad comic is impressive, if not funny
Behold Adam Kontra, a comedian who is no stranger to gimmicks, showing off his latest act, the iPad Comic. While Adam’s timing is certainly impeccable, his material is somewhat more peccable. Still, it’s an impressive feat of timing, and I’m sure we’ll see Adam on SNL soon, as they are no stranger to clever premises that go on a bit too long. [via Cult of... Read More

On line at the Sydney iPad Sleepout
Faithful Macenstein reader Jeremy Moses sent us this very cool mini documentary he and his friends at Variety Garage made giving us a glimpse behind the scenes of the iPad launch at Sydney’s Flagship Apple Store. (Well, really it appears to be a documentary of one very cute line waiter named “Jade” who for the record has an open invitation to be our Mac Chick of... Read More
“Hello World”, LEGO-style
This is probably the coolest thing you are apt to see all day. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Benton for the tip! Writes creator Adam: “Lego felt tip 110” printer connected to an Apple Mac. I designed/built/coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver, the USB interface uses a “wiring” board. FAQ: Track... Read More
I smell a June 24th iPhone 4G launch date
Looks like AT&T may have accidentally spilled the beans on the iPhone 4G launch date by prematurely sending out “replies” to all the anticipated service outage reports it expects to have on June 24th… at least if this text sent to faithful Macenstein reader Frank is any indication: I thought this might be amusing. Note the dates. The best part is that while... Read More
Bang!
Thingiverse user juniortan has created the ultimate iPhone case for any wanna be geek gangster. Behold the Ruger LCR Revolver iPhone case. Sure, it’s a little bulkier than most cases, makes tapping the lower part of the screen a little trickier, and might send your iPhone flying if you “whip it out” too quickly, but the most important thing is looking cool,...
