Apple sold at least 5 Apple TVs last year
Well, good news for AAPL stock holders – it looks like Apple sold at least FIVE Apple TVs last year. That’s right, these guys are streaming music and video from one poor little Mac mini to FIVE Apple TVs simultaneously. That’s pretty impressive, if not from a technological standpoint, then surely just for the sheer amount of Apple gadgetry in that house. Well,... Read More

Review: Mophie Juice Pack 3G for iPhone
Now that Apple has launched the iTunes app store, there are 1000’s of battery-draining reasons why you would seek out a dockable battery pack for your iPhone 3G.

“Stack the Memory to the Sky” – Apple music tribute
What do you get when you cross “Office Space” with “The Office” and then pretend Macs are widely used in the corporate world? You get an awesome piece of pro Seagate/Apple propaganda in the form of a music video by The Sniper Twins, featuring way more production value than you would think anyone would put into something like this. The whole thing was allegedly... Read More
Behold iStik: The magnetic iPod nano bikini holder
Just as I still get nervous when my MacBook goes through the airport scanners, somehow the idea of putting powerful magnets next to my iPod still freaks me out, no matter how safe an electrical engineer assures me it is. Still, iStik’s magnetic cases for the nano appear to be the best thing to happen to bikini bottoms since the Coppertone dog. Currently the cases only support... Read More
Impromptu parking lot meetings beware! Custom Hyundai Genesis fitted with 3 Macs, a touch, and an iPhone 3G
That’s right, Hyundai. Actually, over the past 10 years or so, Hyundai has quietly been upping both the quality and cost of its vehicles, so it’s not quite as bizarre as it sounds that RIDES magazine would bother tricking out a $40,000 2008 Hyundai Genesis with three Mac computers (including a MacBook Air and two Mac minis), an iPod Touch,and an iPhone 3G. Rounding... Read More
Save the “B”‘s! New MacBook can’t spell its name
Engadget reader Mark got a bit of a surprise when he opened his new MacBook, or, should we say, MacMook? Looks like Apple got a good deal on “M”‘s. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is even a little more screwed up than it looks at first. They didn’t just replace the “N” with an “M”, they pushed the “N”... Read More
MacBook Pro battery has 20% less juice than predecessor
Remember during Apple’s notebook spectacular when Steve mentioned that the new MacBook Pro could get a whopping 5 hours of battery life (when using the lamer 9400M chip, that is)? Well, it looks like that number is even more impressive than it originally sounded. Ryan Block noticed that the new MacBook Pro’s battery actually has less juice to work with than its predecessor...
