Redefining iPhone “protection”

“Don’t hate the Playa, hate the game”. Or, do what I do, and hate Chris. It should be fairly easy to do, after watching this video for the Playa iPhone case by Annex. Honestly, the idea of keeping a condom in your iPhone is pretty smart, as I often have no idea where my wallet is, but I seem to always know where my iPhone is. Of course the reason I always know...

Review: Style-iT 2-in-1 Stylus and Pen

“If you see a Stylus, they blew it”. So said Steve Jobs when talking about competing companies’ tablet and touch-phone offerings – and for the most part he’s right. A stylus is a fairly clumsy and old school notion for data entry, especially compared with the speed and relative dexterity of the human finger. However there ARE select times when a stylus...

ENTER TO WIN: PRIZM iPad and iPhone stand by Hub Innovations

Hmmm… it’s been about 15 minutes since we last gave something away, so how about a couple of these bad-ass-looking PRIZM iPad and iPhone stands from our good friends at Hub Innovations! Man, tell me they don’t look like one of The Predator’s weapons! If you’ve been looking for an iPad or iPhone stand that can potentially be used to fend off home invaders,... Read More
None of us can ever complain that a piece of software is too hard to learn again

Every once in a LOOOONG while, a story comes along that’s so inspirational it breaks through even MY crusty, cynical exterior. The video below tells just such a story. As someone who cannot imagine life without my Mac or iPhone, I wonder if even I would have the patience to go through what Chistopher Hills goes through in order to simply write an e-mail, let alone edit a...

Tim Cook Unboxes the new iPad

This Funny Or Die video of “Tim Cook” unboxing the new iPad isn’t exactly the most ACCURATE Tim Cook parody we’ve seen (not that we’ve seen many Tim Cook parodies yet) – Mike Hanford seems to be channeling Clay Aiken more than Cook – but still, I found it worth reposting if for no other reason than I like the idea of the CEO of the world’s...

I’m not sure why everyone keeps sending me this…

I mean, what makes you guys think I would have any interest AT ALL in watching two hot naked Ukranian girls unbox a new iPad? I mean, yes, I was mildly interested in watching naked Ukranian girls unbox the iPad 2 last year, but that was totally different. And just as with the iPad 2, I still wonder how a new iPad made it to the Ukraine so quickly. Of course, these shots could easily... Read More
Review: GifBoom: Animated GIF Camera

Looking to broaden our demographics a bit, Mac Chick of the Year Veronica Ricci returns to provide an insight into Apple that was sorely under-represented here at Macenstein – namely the viewpoint of an extremely hot young girl. Enjoy! My new favorite “App of the Moment” is GifBoom, a FREE app which lets you create (potentially annoying, but ultimately entertaining)... Read More
