Bruce Banner waits in line for the new iPad [spoiler alert: Hulk Smash]
“Bruce Banner tries to purchase the newest iPad.” Graham Annable is one our generation’s most wonderful, and bizarre minds. His wonderful, bug-eyed illustrations are the impetus behind the charmingly creepy Puzzle Agentfranchise for iOS (our review) and if you haven’t ever visited his Flickr, you’re missing out. This illustration in particular stood out for... Read More
First ever Concerto for iPad and Orchestra ruined by idiot coughing
OK, maybe not ruined, per se, but if I were there this guy would have been all I could hear. I hate people who can’t control themselves in quiet public situations. It’s inconsiderate idiots like this that are the reason I can’t go to the movies anymore. I mean, stay home if you have TB. Seriously, check him out at 0:43, 1:38, and 2:22 – and that is just...

Review: Ballistic Shell Gel Case for iPhone
Ballistic’s Shell Gel Case for iPhone ($34.99 ($13.00 on On Amazon)) may look quite similar to Ballistic’s Tough Jacket for iPad case we reviewed a few months back, and that’s a good thing. I really liked the look and feel of the Tough Jacket, and the Shell Gel takes many design queues from it’s big brother. The Shell Gel is a 2-part case, (although Ballistic... Read More
Macenstein’s Mac Chick of the Month June 2012: Shantal Monique
Welcome to Macenstein‘s “Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Shantal Monique, a full-time college student and model, and of course, a die-hard Mac Chick! “Currently I am a full time college student... Read More
Just in time for Father’s Day! Rare Steve Jobs Atari memo hits auction block
One of the reasons advertisers flock to Macenstein is that it is widely known that our typical reader is a 55 year-old white Apple obsessed multi-millionaire male, which is why we present you with the following information. Sotheby’s auction house is apparently holding an auction for the earliest know documentation produced by Steve Jobs, which predates the founding of Apple... Read More
Jonathan Ive’s biggest design challenge? Himself.
Reddit user pdmcmahon found this great clip from MacWorld 1999 (yes, not 1985) of a young Jonathan Ive sporting hair and what can only be described as an attempt at a mustache. The recently knighted Ive is largely considered to be a design genius, and as you can see from these shots, his “Jason Statham-esque” reinvention is clearly his best redesign to date. Read More
This is Nelson. Nelson has my stolen iPhone.
This is Nelson. Nelson has my stolen iPhone. When Katy McCaffrey couldn’t find her iPhone during a recent Disney Cruise, she suspected the worst, and with good reason. Despite all those stories you read of stolen iPhones being recovered using Find My iPhone, I know from personal experience that not only can’t the police really do anything (my wife’s iPhone was...

Enter to Win: an iTwin remote file access USB thingy!
No, an iTwin is NOT one half of a set of identical Mac Chicks (although that WOULD be pretty sweet), but it’s the next best thing! It’s a secure file sharing device that works with both Macs and PC’s that allows you to access any files or drives on one computer from another, anywhere in the world, with no monthly fees! Take THAT, Dropbox, iCloud, and a couple... Read More
Introducing the Vapor Ware Leap for Mac!
It’s always refreshing when talented 3D artists stop making fake iPhone 5 prototypes and turn their attention to something more important – like making fake XBox Kinnect for Mac videos! Check out this pretty sweet video for something called “The Leap”, a little box (too little to actually work, methinks) that basically adds Minority Report/Tony Stark tech to... Read More
Review: Scosche backSTAGE Pro headrest mount for iPad
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that kids suck. Especially on 16-hour road trips. I honestly don’t know how my dad didn’t kill my brothers and I on our childhood drive to Florida back in the days before iPods – we must have been SO annoying. Well, luckily today’s parents have a little something called an “in-dash DVD player”... Read More
