You just KNOW Ballmer still owns that jacket

I saw this post in the MacRumors forum by zamolx3, and not only did I think that it was brilliant, I also thought I had nothing better to write about. Why Microsoft is not Apple 🙂 1986, Steve Ballmer trying to sell Windows 1.0 1984, Steve Jobs demos Apple Macintosh No comment  Read More

Damnit, I just threw out two VCRs on junk day!  Read More

Windows 7 launch parties suddenly seem a lot more edgy

Remember that incredibly cheesy “Host You Own Windows 7 Launch Party” video Microsoft put out last month? No? Well, remember when you heard what sounded like thousands of confused people saying “WTF?” all at the same time? THAT was them watching it. Anyway, Cabel Sasser — founder of Mac software maker Panic Inc, took that video, added a few well-placed... Read More

How does Apple feel about its products?

This video is a little bit unfair in that if Apple unveiled the new iPod nano and said: “It’s OK… maybe not a must-have upgrade, but if your old one breaks it beats getting a Samsung YP-P2 or something…” it might make for a somewhat uninspiring keynote. However, only the most devout Apple fanboy can deny that Apple tends to be a bit generous with... Read More

There’s nothing funny about stalking… except this

I debated about putting this one up, figuring I had missed the boat last week and everyone had seen it already, but enough of you have sent it in that I don’t want to risk anyone missing it. [via AdamThinks]  Read More

That’s sort of how I feel about this poor Acura who its owner has dressed as a clown. Yes, this shot was sent in by Faithful Macenstein reader (and iPhone developer) Kevin... Read More

As if we needed further proof that Ostriches prefer the Blackberry

As if we needed further proof that Ostriches prefer the Blackberry, check out this horrific video shot on an iPhone 3Gs by YouTuber ldj5000. “iPhone vs Ostrich at Safari West. I dropped my iPhone while recording video of ostriches on a safari tour. Safari staff (my heroes) retrieved it eventually and not only did it survive this vicious ostrich attack (it still works) but... Read More

I’m 90% sure the “Apple iTablet rumor” is an elaborate hoax by Apple to get Dell to waste money building a competing device

Aside from a $1400 GPS-enabled, touch screen, waterproof, 4 megapixel ROOMBA with a built-in iPod dock, I can’t think of a single Apple-branded device I would less want to add to my digital arsenal than an Apple tablet. Imagine a device that takes all the annoying UI limitations of the iPhone and combines them with all the size and weight of a netbook. And now imagine it... Read More
