A “Category 5 Engrish Storm” hits iTunes

We’ve seen a lot of ENGRISH on the iTunes App store, but we’ve never hit a Category 5 Engrish Storm until now. Behold Japanese OMiKuJi. I’m not even sure after reading this that its developers chose “English” as the “to” language when they ran Google Translate. Although I will admit, it could just be a clever marketing tactic, as Lord knows... Read More

NSFW: Virtual FU App for the iPhone

Man, I haven’t been hurting for “Stupid Mac News” like this since the “Stupid Mac News Famine” of ’02. Well, lucky for me I have both YouTube and my faithful Macenstein readers to keep me alive (if just barely). Making it a 3-in-a-row video post trifecta (and a straight box for fake Apple ads), comes this pretty sweet ad by Rob Alphonse for a... Read More

Apple “Truth in Advertising” test commercial

Remember the 1990 Dudley Moore classic “Crazy People“? Sure you do – every year it tops AFI’s Top 100 movies of all time list. Well, long story short in case you missed it, Moore is an ad exec who is fed up with the Madison Ave scene and ends up in a mental hospital where his fellow inmates help him come up with a “truth in advertising” campaign... Read More

iPhone is the ultimate tool. Literally.

This is exactly why I will never go to any of my high school reunions. No one there could possibly appreciate just how cool I really am. See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. [College Humor via Gizmodo]  Read More

OMFG! Quicken is releasing new iMacs and Apple TVs!

If there’s one thing we Mac users love to see, it’s the “We’ll be Back Soon” Post-it note on the Apple store. Far more exciting than Christmas morning, the Post-it conjures up visions of futuristic, fusion-powered, levitating iMacs and Apple TVs that are useful without installing Boxee. Well, looks like Apple is taking so long with the new iMac and... Read More

Video: The Macintosh Software Dating Game with Bill Gates (1983)

I once told a friend that I got “douche chills” watching a comedian bomb on stage. He had never heard the term before, and asked me what I meant. I wish I had had this clip then… “Apples are Red, IBM’s blue, if Macs gonna be the 3rd milestone, I need all of you!” Yes, douche chills are that odd, physically “chilling” sensation that... Read More

iQuief: Rethinking Apple’s App Store censorship policy

Hmm… remind me again why we wanted Apple to drop its ban on gross or offensive iTunes apps? I don’t remember hearing anyone mention they wanted to have a queefing app, but maybe I was too busy hoping for porn to notice. Anyway, the good news is that (in what will surely be a death blow to RIM) we now have iQuief to hold over BlackBerry users! “Bored with all those... Read More

3 cheers for iJiggles, the iBoobs workaround!

You may remember our report on iBoobs, the iPhone breast simulator that was tragically shot down by Apple for inclusion on the iTunes store – in fact, many of you marked it on your calendars as an official day of mourning. Well, cheer up, and put away that black armband! As we all know, where there’s a will, there’s a way – and apparently guys really... Read More

Well, the good news is, now Apple has 6 months to build a sex robot!

My fellow Apple stockholders and I have a saying – “This sucks“. The saying was first popularized on September 8th of last year, and then subsequently RE-popularized on September 17th and 29th – and then finally put on Tee shirts on October 7th. It stems from the seemingly unstoppable plunge in Apple’s stock price in recent months. Even Phil... Read More
