No wonder it’s the number 1 app on iTunes…

I’m guessing a lot of the sales of iFart Mobile are based on insecure people looking to be the life of the party at holiday gatherings this week, so it will be interesting to see how sales hold up next week. Luckily for me I can save the 99¢, as I was blessed/cursed with the ability to make all those sounds without an iPhone. But still, if I was in the market for a farting... Read More

Mac Vs. PC – Transformers Style

Wow. This is one of those “made after hours by people who know what their doing” special effects videos that is so well done technically that you just wish they had spent $5 and hired two real actors for the opening scene.  Read More

Who needs a watch? It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

Finally! The long awaited native iPhone app of the “Peanut Butter Jelly Time“ animated web gif that took the world by storm about 160 years ago. The port is horrible, which is awesome, given that the whole idea of the Buckwheat Boys singing banana is to be the most annoying thing ever, and all these years later, even with Paris Hilton and Ryan Seacrest out there, it... Read More

Um, ewww…

OK now, you see?! This is precisely why Apple has been trying to make it so difficult to Jailbreak an iPhone. Faithful Macenstein reader Jeremy (apparently just to mess with our heads), has installed the BlackBerry Storm theme on his iPhone. Curse you Cydia!!!!  Read More

The real reason Apple went with the unibody enclosure

While poking around in Apple’s support discussion forums, faithful Macenstein reader Nicholas stumbled across what we think might be the real reason Apple decided to pour its research dollars into developing the new unibody construction technique used in its new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. The post, entitled “MacBook Pro pulls out arm hair“, details the painful... Read More

Horribly translated iPhone game description of the day… Iron ball catch & release

OK, read this description of the newly released game Iron ball catch & release 1.0.0 (free) and tell me if you are ready to jump right into the action…. “It is a game that obtains iron ball that the enemy on the screen throws out, and defeats the throw return enemy. Iron ball that can be obtained is one though iron ball is obtained by the automatic operation. When... Read More

“Display” your Mapple pride!

Well, THAT didn’t take long. Fans of the “Mypods and Boomsticks” Simpsons episode (which apparently was way funnier than I thought, judging by the comments here) can now show off their “Mapple Pride” with this cool desktop wallpaper. (1024×768, 2048 x 1536) All I said was The Simspons could have tried harder – I thought the jokes were... Read More

Add a little WTF? to the holidays with the Retro Talk Mobile Handsets

Do you know someone with an iPhone? Do you hate them? Well, if the answer to both questions was “Yes”, then why not subtly let them and the world know how you really feel about them by getting them this Retro Talk Mobile Handset for their Jesus Phone? Above: It takes a very special person (i.e. attention-whore) to use a Bluetooth headset twice as big as the phone itself A... Read More

I’m 95% sure Steve Ballmer is not a Nazi

I’ve analyzed this footage for about 2 days straight, and as convincing as it is, I am pretty sure it is fake. Above: Just because something is horribly offensive, doesn’t mean it’s not funny I fancy myself someone of an expert at video analysis, as I actually made a pretty convincing fake Steve Jobs video which fooled millions, so I sort of know what to look... Read More

“Apple Store Munich Soon has come”

If I am reading this very awkwardly Google-translated page correctly, Germany is just moments away from getting its first Apple Store. Located on Rose Street in Munich, the facade is currently covered in iPod nanos in a nod to the Bavarian flag, but it appears to be yet another glass-monster Apple Store. One interesting fact we learn from this article (presumably written by Yoda)... Read More
