Apple set to announce they are buying Poland tomorrow
Apple PR sent out a mysterious press release today announcing that it will reveal what it plans to do with the MASSIVE $400 quintillion cash horde it has amassed over the past 3 years. With Apple’s record fiscal quarter last year and its stock price rocketing up 68% in only two months, Apple has now become the world’s most valuable company. Many people have been speculating...

Why the iPad 3 sucks for the rest of us
Ok everyone, stand back, I’m going to try to do some math and I don’t want anyone getting hurt. So, if you’re anything like me (and God help you if you are) you have way too many apps on your iPhone. In fact I have approximately 1 fuck-ton of apps, which to my metric readers is about 907 fuck-kilograms. Ok, actually, I have 26.2 GB of apps currently on my iPhone,... Read More
Review: Ballistic Tough Jacket Case for iPad 2
The concept of an ultra-protective, drop-proof tough case for your iPhone makes sense to most people, as the iPhone is small, a little slippery, and is probably taken in and out of your pocket 100 times a day, or jostled around in a car cup-holder as you drive, or taken to the track while you attempt to complete one of the various “Couch to 5K” apps (which I have never...

The “New iPad” event: The Good, the Bad, and the Meh
As with all big Apple events, I once again find people turning to me for my opinion on the announcements from Apple’s “New iPad” event. Honestly I can’t blame them, as my opinion is often the only correct one when it comes to such things. I seem to have the uncanny ability to cut through the hype with laser beam-like precision, and somehow categorize the... Read More

I ran into the same thing in Canada with Syrup
Faithful Macenstein reader Andrew sent us the link of an iPhone smuggler getting busted trying to bring iPhones INTO China. Where they’re made. The disturbing thing about this video is that when you see the sheer amount of iPhones this guy was able to hide all laid out on the table, you just KNOW that at least a couple weren’t hidden in his clothes… thus the policemans’...

Review: Apps Gone Free
Anyone who’s come to the iPod touch/iPad/iPhone gaming market from a Nintendo DS or PSP will likely think it odd that I would bitch about the 99¢ – $1.99 App Store prices, but hey, you download over 2000 of them (as have I) and these things start to add up. That’s why I can’t recommend highly enough Apps Gone Free (free – iTunes Store) , which showcases... Read More
