Oh For the love of God, WHY?!!
Faithful Macenstein reader Jordan sent us some pics of the most unholy of unholy abominations. No, not poolside pics of Woz – even worse. That’s right, ModMyifone forum member ebl4287 has come up with one of the most well-executed and elaborate iPhone skins to date. Unfortunately, it is designed to mimic the “thrill” of running Windows Vista on your iPhone.... Read More
“Hi, I’m a Mac… and I’m a PC” circa the year 2700
Above: No wonder Eve looks like an Airport Bast Station! Fortune has an interesting article about how back in 2005, while planning the soon to be released Wall-E movie, Pixar’s Andrew Stanton called upon Steve Jobs (who was still Pixar’s head muckety muck at the time) for some art direction on Wall-E’s futuristic love interest, Eve the robot’s design. “I...

Looks like someone missed the point of the MacBook Air commercial…
Boy oh boy, did we all have a good laugh when Steve unveiled the Macbook Air, pulling from inside a manila envelope! Oh my, yes! We laughed and we laughed! But eventually we stopped. Well, 5 months later the folks over at interofficemac.com apparently still think it’s funny, and are hoping to laugh all the way to the bank with their new InterOffice Mac Envelope Sleeve, a...

Poll: Is Apple’s logo “girly”
Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple, and I still drink the Apple Kool-Aid three times daily (it helps gives my coat a healthy shine). Yet, for whatever reason, lately I have been looking at the bright white Apple logo peering back at me from the uber powerful 17-inch MacBook Pro my colleague just got, and I think, “Damn, that logo’s looking a little girly…” I...

God, I hope not…
Engadget has shots from French iPhone site iPhone.fr of what is reported to be the next gen iPhone, and if it is, in the words of the Jerky Boys: “God help us Jesus, God and baby Jesus help us!” If legit, it looks like Apple has farmed out its design duties to LG, and contracted with some company to create the world’s most scratch-prone plastic material known...

The WSJ needs new Steve Jobs pic
The poor man looks like he was stung by bees for crying out loud. God, it must be frustrating as a formerly chubby public figure to work your butt off losing a bunch of weight only to have publications continue run pictures of you when you were fat. Granted, The Wall Street Journal likes to use artists’ renderings of public figures which must be more expensive than a photo,... Read More
Apple legal shuts down iPhone clone sellers – is Psystar next?
Redferret reports that Apple’s legal team has been shutting down UK distributors who have been selling Chinese iPhone clones, the most recent of which is the company Digital Playworld. DP’s managing director Simon Rimmer claims Apple “came at me all guns blazing, big bully boy tactics” . Above: video of China’s C-002 HiPhone. Gee, I don’t see... Read More
Poll: Is the MacBook Air’s keyboard ugly?
Above: One of these things is not like the others.. but for how long? AppleInsider’s reports of an aluminum upgrade to the MacBook line is welcome news, at least to those of use who feel our white MacBooks are a tad on the girly side. However the one aspect to the rumor that has me a bit worried is that the new MacBooks will adopt the MacBook Air’s keyboard, which I... Read More
It’s official, every iPod accessory has now been made
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/It_s_official_every_iPod_accessory_has_now_been_made; Admit it, your parties suck. What you need is a 5-foot tall, 12-pound inflatable BoomBox to kick your party into high gear. Too bad no one has thought to capitalize on this un-catered to market… UNTIL NOW, THAT IS! Behold the iBig Box, “The World’s Biggest Music Player“,... Read More
Thank god they fixed the round “equals” button!
Lest anyone think that Apple’s iPhone team was solely focused on the SDK today, faithful Macenstein reader Art Vandelay has noticed a few minor but I am sure VERY IMPORTANT differences between the home screen in iPhone 2 Beta and the current 1.1.4 we mortals are forced to run. First up The Calculator icon Apple has decided to make the “equals” button square,... Read More
