Stop the madness! Please sign the “iPad is NOT Magical” petition
Apple Inc. has long been known to overuse favorable adjectives when describing its products, and while we as Apple fans have perhaps grown immune to words such as “revolutionary” and “amazing”, Apple’s insistence in using the word “Magical” to describe its new iPad is just unacceptable. Even in today’s press release announcing the... Read More

Why does it seem that only old people win stuff?
When it was announced yesterday that the winner of the iTunes 10 billionth song giveaway was 71 year-old Louie Sulcer, I was torn. On the one hand, I was happy for Louie – he seems like a nice fellow, easy going, and into Johnny Cash apparently. But on the other hand, I HATE Louie with a passion. Why? Because he’s OLD, that’s why. Now granted, Louie appears to be... Read More

iSlate to run 10.7 “Clouded Leopard” OS? OF COURSE! It all makes sense now!!
OK, as with all unconfirmed (and likely 99% 110% fake) iSlate rumors, take this with a grain of whatever condiment you’d like, but faithful Macenstein reader imalk noticed this picture show up on Gizmodo for all of 20 seconds before being pulled. Now, we assume Giz pulled it because they feel it is so fake it isn’t even worth trying to get hits off of, but we’re... Read More
I KNEW I should have married a cop
Above: One of these things is not like the others… Growing up, our town had a crazy old man in an overgrown house who always had a big hand-scrawled sign on his front lawn criticizing SOMEONE, from his next door neighbor to the president. Now THAT guy had balls. And fleas. THIS, however, just wreaks of nerdy cowardice. Read More
