Review: PowerPak iPhone charger is a double-threat
Probably the #1 drawback to most iPhone wall chargers is that they require a wall. As we all know, walls are large and unwieldy, making charging your iPhone while on the go somewhat difficult, not to mention severely limiting your travel options. However Technocel has come up with the PowerPak, a neat little USB wall charger that has something other, more wall-centric chargers... Read More
Random thoughts: Apple’s 100,000 iPhone apps and the Google GPS app
Two things happened today that filled me with a resounding feeling of… “meh”. Well, actually lots of underwhelming things happened today (I’m rather hard to overwhelm thanks to various mood evening drugs)) but two Apple-related things happened. Apple to hit 100,000 iPhone Apps The first announcement did not officially come from Apple itself, rather it came... Read More
Apple’s new iPod touch web ads almost makes you think the touch is a real gaming machine
It’s no secret Apple is pushing the iPod touch as a gaming machine – Steve Jobs said as much when lamely trying to explain why the new iPod touches didn’t have a camera (as if game makers couldn’t find a creative way to make use of one). But if there was any lingering doubt that Apple was trying to push the iPhone/touch platform further into the mindset of hard... Read More
How does Apple feel about its products?
This video is a little bit unfair in that if Apple unveiled the new iPod nano and said: “It’s OK… maybe not a must-have upgrade, but if your old one breaks it beats getting a Samsung YP-P2 or something…” it might make for a somewhat uninspiring keynote. However, only the most devout Apple fanboy can deny that Apple tends to be a bit generous with... Read More
Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (September 2009): Yael Markovich
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.

Top Ten Reasons to Upgrade to Snow Leopard TODAY
I’ve seen more than a few interweb critics panning Apple’s Snow Leopard as merely a service pack update, but since installing Snow Leopard yesterday morning, I’ve decided they couldn’t be more wrong. Sure, the only REAL change is the 64-bit stuff that likely won’t matter until sometime around when OS 10.7 comes out, but I’ve noticed more than... Read More
Dane, Gayheart, Miss Teen USA sex tape “Made on a Mac” (litterally?)
Is there a story I can’t apply an Apple-slant to? Apparently not. Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy’s “Dr. McSteamy”), his wife Rebecca Gayheart and former Miss Teen Kari Ann Peniche apparently filmed some sort of sex tape a while back, and, surprise surprise! It has now leaked to the internet (as all sex tapes invariably do – remember that, kids!). The... Read More
Clearing the air on the The iTablet – what we know so far
Talk of a touchscreen “iTablet” has been around since long before the iPhone (and was perhaps inspired by it), but in recent months the interweb has really sunk its teeth into the idea that Apple WILL be releasing an iTablet-like device at some point. While a profitable market for such a device still seems a bit unlikely, many analysts and Mac enthusiast websites now... Read More
I’m 90% sure the “Apple iTablet rumor” is an elaborate hoax by Apple to get Dell to waste money building a competing device
Aside from a $1400 GPS-enabled, touch screen, waterproof, 4 megapixel ROOMBA with a built-in iPod dock, I can’t think of a single Apple-branded device I would less want to add to my digital arsenal than an Apple tablet. Imagine a device that takes all the annoying UI limitations of the iPhone and combines them with all the size and weight of a netbook. And now imagine it... Read More
When you get so good at a game you love… that you hate it
As anyone who’s ever spent an extended period of time with me will attest, “familiarity breeds contempt”. And while I am used to this saying applying to human interactions, I never thought it would sum up my relationship with some of my favorite iPhone apps. Yet here I am with a score of 528 in Flight Control, and I practical dread playing it now. So, what’s... Read More
