Reported video of assembled iPhone 5 leaves many question (marks)
Macotakara has released a video showing what appears to be a “shell” of the iPhone 5, giving us our first good look at what the device will probably look like. I say “appears” only because after every new shot in the video, Macotakara puts a “?”, as if they are not fully willing to commit to this being the real deal. The design certainly looks... Read More
Intuit looks to add $200 to the $19.99 Mountain Lion update’s Pricetag
When you use your Mac for “real” business, it’s always a good idea when a new OS update comes out to hold back a couple days and let other brave souls take the plunge for you, just to see if anything essential you use is not supported. Well, faithful Macenstein reader and QuickBooks 2011 user Andrew got a surprise e-mail from Intuit more or less telling him if... Read More
Why the iPhone 5 will be the most expensive iPhone ever
We Apple users are used to paying a bit more for our tech than our PC and Android-owning friends (assuming we are willing to hang out with to “those” kinds of people). We appreciate that way the hardware looks and feels in the hand can be almost as important as how well it works, and yes, we are willing to fork over the extra dough for this “design and engineering...

In case you’re wondering what’s on my iPod right now, it’s Tim Cook
Just kidding, I don’t own an iPod. But doesn’t it sound weird to say “What’s on your iPhone?” I think so. So I am going to stick with the phrase “What’s on your iPod?” and hope no one is a dick and tries to correct me. By the way, if you like Tim Cook’s debut single (from the folks behind iTunedSteveJobs), and how can you not?... Read More
Fieldrunners 2 is almost here!
Fieldrunners 2 is almost here! After a couple false starts, Subatomic Studios has announced that Fieldrunners 2, the highly anticipated (by me) sequel to Fieldrunners should hit the App Store this Thursday, July 19th at a surprisingly reasonable Price: $2.99! Given how many new maps the game is shipping with, this promises to be one of the more “bang for my buck” game... Read More
Well, there’s ONE Apple lawsuit Google doesn’t have to worry about
Good news for Google. It looks like Apple will NOT be suing the company for ripping off its easy-to-open packaging. Check out this wonderful compilation of failed Google Nexus 7 unboxing videos, which pretty much redefine the term “First world problems”. When you consider that these people all seem to be reasonably tech-savvy folks, it makes you wonder what injuries... Read More

Review: Element Case’s Vapor Pro
When you’re attempting to sell a $129 iPhone case you need two things: A kick-ass case, and a big set of balls. Element Case appears to have both with the latest version of their popular, if not controversial Vapor Pro. I reviewed Element Case’s original Vapor case back in 2010, and while I loved the look and feel of the case, there was an unfortunate “reception... Read More
