Apple owes Steve Jobs 38 years in back salary – but can’t find him?

From the WTF department: Gawker reports that for reasons unknown (and we’re DYING to know them), Apple has turned over the job of delivering an “unpaid debt” of $37.91, owed to Steve Jobs, to the State of California’s Unclaimed Property program. Apparently they can’t locate him on their own? Given Steve Jobs only makes $1 a year from Apple, that... Read More

Hopefully this was made on a PC

… in 1992. Oh well, I can’t say this new super-bizarre Parallels promo video is bad, because I watched the whole thing, but then again, I watched the entire debacle that was The Love Guru. Quite frankly, I’m just glad to see Eminem and Steve Jobs working together again.  Read More

Apparently “Rated 4+” = full frontal nudity

I think it should be obvious at this point that I’m probably the furthest things from a prude, but I must say, slipping full frontal nudity into an app rated 4+ just seems a little odd to me. That’s right, everyone’s favorite Look and Find (including my kids) Time Geeks has a couple fairly adult finds for you (or your 4+ kid) to find, including, but not limited... Read More

I smell a Nerf Gun war!

Here at Macenstein Labs, we pride ourselves on providing our employees with a ridiculously fun and immature working environment… in lieu of payment. But it looks like the folks over at iOS game developers ngmoco might be trying to steal some of our employees away with this latest Twitter post. “An LED Cinema Display fort has appeared at #ngmoco HQ this morning.” ... Read More

I would put this on the front of my Windows 7 phone

Those looking for a way to protect their iPhone’s from scratches without the bulk (or protection) of a case have long turned to stickers to fill the void. For the most part people like to go the Invisible Shield route, but more and more we’ve be seeing protective stickers with some really nice graphic prints on them ranging from consumer-friendly Iron Man to the more... Read More

Further proof that everything’s better with Chuck

Those of you who missed out on Apple’s free bumper case program for the iPhone 4 may want to start searching Google Images for pictures of everyone’s favorite Texas Ranger. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the tip!  Read More

Pocket God’s “Double Rainbow” update is the greatest milestone in iPhone history

If you own an iPhone, odds are by this point, you either own Pocket God or have long ago decided it was so stupid that you would NEVER buy it and anyone who did is an idiot. Well, if you’re open to listening to the opinion of an idiot, I must wholeheartedly recommend you pick up Pocket God, if for no other reason than the latest update, entitled “Double Rainbow All... Read More
