Macenstein

Wow, that was quick

I won’t say this isn’t homophobic, and I won’t say this isn’t racist, but I also won’t say I didn’t laugh once or twice. And man, talk about a fast turn around! Surprisingly I find the singing and acting quality to be about the same as the original. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Kevin for the link!  Read More

iPhone Engrish of the day: Reversi and Sexy Girl

If you flip through the screen shots, Reversi and Sexy Girl appears to basically be the game Othello, but you wouldn’t know it from this description in iTunes. In fact, you might think you are going to get laid if you win… Above: “Nomal”? Reversi and Sexy girl It sprouts and plays “Reversi” with a beautiful girl. （Is it a cow?） Three... Read More

Video: Phil Schiller’s Keynote was lip-smacking good!

OK, am I crazy, or did anyone else watching the Macworld ’09 Phil-note find it distracting that Phil’s tongue appeared to be “tasting” the air, like a snake hunting a mouse? Above: So, did Phil Schiller eat a peanut butter sandwich before Macworld or what? And I didn’t even put them all in. Oddly, I find that watching this video has somewhat the... Read More

What, too soon?

OK, now that we’re all supposed to not worry about Steve’s health, is it OK to laugh at this? Cause I did. Not so much at the comic itself, but I was just imagining Phil Schiller on stage with an series of Keynote slides actually presenting The World’s Thinnest CEO. With things like “The thinnest CEO out there is now is Larry Ellison, of Oracle, weighing... Read More

When Steve Jobs says “Jump”, Phil Schiller asks “How High?”

When I heard Phil Schiller was going to deliver this year’s Macworld keynote speech, I admit I wasn’t all that excited. But all that’s changed after seeing this clip of Phil Schiller at Macworld 1999. Watch in amazement as Phil leaps from a 20 foot platform to demonstrate how tough the Tangerine iBook is (or, at least how tough the air mattress he lands on is).... Read More

Apple reinvents the wheel – The Onion reinvents the Mactini

I love the Onion, I really do. In fact, I got a 2-year subscription to The Onion for Christmas. But check out the video below, and tell me if it looks familiar… Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard If you said “It’s basically is the same joke used in the Mactini video (below) done by the UK’s Peter Serafinowicz a couple weeks ago,”,... Read More

Is that a wine glass icon or Lindsay Lohan getting out of a limo?

I suppose what you see here depends totally on how depraved an individual you are, but apparently both faithful Macenstein reader Cub and I see the same thing. “Hey, Long time reader, love the site! Thought you might appreciate this image, surely has to be the dodgiest iPhone app icon ever! There’s a few things this looks like and a glass of wine isn’t the first... Read More

A Mac that will attract bugs: The GingerMac

Apple has a long history of making computers that look so good you might want to eat them. Well, here’s a Mac that may fall a little short in the looks department, but you actually could eat it (assuming you can choke down Gingerbread, that is). This work of edible art stands about 8 inches tall, and has chocolate icons and a chocolate cursor. I think I would have written... Read More
