What’s up with AT&T’s Black iPhone 4 inventory?

Are you one of those people who thinks it would be awesome if Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 at next week’s WWDC? Or at least the iPhone 4 S? Well, if you’re looking for straws to grasp at Faithful Macenstein reader Andy ‘s got just the thing! “Have you noticed that AT&T’s upgrade page only has the white iPhone 4 available. The black iPhone is only... Read More

Wow, even the viruses on the Mac look nice

Check out this video from YouTuber TheEdBott showing the Mac Guard/ Mac Defender virus installing with no password. Having never actually seen the virus, I must say, it DOES look pretty cool, much better designed than those Windows popups I get while surfing (on my Mac) telling me my Windows system is infected. “Here’s a start to finish, unedited video that shows... Read More

If you’re going to use this App, why not save yourself 99¢ and name your baby “Steve”?

I’m as big an Apple fanboy as the next guy, but when it comes to naming your kids, I’m not sure there should be “An App for that”. Oh, I have nothing against the ones that just give you a list or something, but the idea of the Kick To Pick app (99¢), while on the surface cute, in reality is just plain flawed. Basically, the app lets your baby pick his or... Read More

Look out Apple: Amazon launches Mac App Download Store

When I first read the headline “Amazon launches Mac Download Store“, I thought it was an Onion headline. Somehow it almost seemed akin to Amazon building it’s own Macs for some reason. Yet, sure enough, it DOES exist, and just as the Amazon music store beats Apple’s iTunes in most ways, it looks like Amazon’s Mac App Store is also out doing Apple’s... Read More

Man beats up innocent stranger when Find My iPhone tracks his “missing” iPhone to the wrong location

This story is awesome for a couple reasons. Carl Ippolito, 52, a youth baseball umpire, returned to his car after a game to find his iPhone was missing. With a regular phone, the story would have ended there, but luckily (for we the media that is, not Ippolito) Ippolito had an iPhone, and so did his son. Together the pair used Find My iPhone on his son’s iPhone to track Carl’s... Read More

Droid mascot gets his own iOS game – has a girlfriend?

You know, if there’s one thing I’m jealous of in the Android world it’s their super cute robot mascot. As successful as Apple has been by keeping all their advertising locked in a bland, white world for the last 20 years, their commercials are just not fun to watch. They lack personality. But that little green robot… he practically OOZES charisma, as do... Read More
