Watch out Vancouver International Airport – You’re next
Well now that Apple legal has stopped my Steve Jobs action figures from showing up in the mail, it looks like the next target it will be setting its litigious gaze upon will be the Vancouver International Airport. Faithful Macenstein reader Grant Wall writes (via Twitter): “Saw this @YVR in the Domestic Terminal and thought you’d get a laugh” “The FOD stands... Read More
Games That Don’t Suck: Scramble With Friends
This is not the first time I have been complimented on my boner. Today’s game that doesn’t suck is the latest offering from that evil empire known as Zynga (makers of the Chess With Friends, Words With Friends and Hanging With Friends games). It’s called Scramble With Friends (FREE – with ads). At its heart, just as Words With Friends is a Scrabble rip-off... Read More
“Yellow-Hatted Army of Scalpers” descends upon Shanghai Apple Store for 4S launch
Our faithful Chinese correspondent Min checked in last week with some always interesting news on how iPhone launches are handled in China. “Hi Dr. How is going? You know, China seems always get the new iPhone the last. Today, iPhone 4s is on sale in China. I figured there must be lots of people waiting in line last night, so I took a trip to the Shanghai PuDong apple store... Read More

FINALLY! Wireless baby-weighing comes to the iPhone!
Usually around January 5th or so I begin to think “Hmm… maybe I should have booked a trip to CES this year”, but then around January 9th, when I get press releases like this: “ Withings Unveils World’s First Internet Connected Baby and Toddler Scale Las Vegas Nevada, CES – January 8, 2012 — Today, French technology company Withings is announcing...

Looks like mobile DTV will be coming to iOS “soon” thanks to Elgato
One of the cooler announcements coming out of CES (tomorrow) is that a diabolically evil-sounding group known as the “Mobile500 Alliance” is showing off technology that will allow for the broadcasting of live digital TV to iOS devices, including DVR-like rewind features as well as On-Demand type programming. While the name may sound sinister, one of the main partners... Read More
Remove all sense of style from your iPhone with the “Legacy Case”
Given how many iPhone cases I see on a weekly basis it takes something REALLY cool (or stupid) to catch my attention, and this iPhone 4 “Legacy case” from Les Forges MDK studio is both. Currently only a concept, the case is meant to mimic the “design” of the original Macintosh. If you like all the high-tech features of your iPhone 4/4S but wish it had... Read More
iPad ready for Astronauts with butterfingers
Boy, I never get tired of these “Our iPhone/iPod/iPad case is so tough it can withstand (insert something that seems crazy)” videos. Actually, I’m lying. I’m fairly tied of these. Although I will say that G-Form’s video of their iPad safely dropping from space onto a rocky mountain has two things going for it. ONE, it’s nicely shot and has a pretty... Read More

Review: MoonSkins Glow-in-the-dark iPhone cases
When I gave my daughter my “old” iPhone 4 this Christmas, I began looking for a “cool” iPhone case that she’d like to help sweeten the gift. It turns out this was unnecessary as she was so excited when she opened it that she was visibly shaking, but she got a cool case anyway – the MoonSkins glow-in-the-dark case ($29.99 Amazon). How cool? Well,... Read More
