Meet Hannah, the iPod touch Elf
Apple has posted a new guided tour video for the iPod touch, and I must say, the somewhat elven “Hannah” is a definite step up from both the iPhone guy and the previous iPod touch guy (I dig her pointy eyebrows and normal-sized hands.) although they all apparently shop at the same store. Read More
The Let’s Rock event : My thoughts… in pictures
Like most Apple fanboys with no self control, I was unable to wait for Apple’s keynote stream to hit the web, and instead I nearly wore out my “refresh” finger reading the Engadget and Gizmodo feeds. So, now that it is all done, and I have had 3 minutes to digest it all, how do I feel about the event? Well, let’s find out as we take a tour, via stolen borrowed... Read More
Who knew the iPhone came with a free game?
You know all those lame “test your reflex” games trying to get your hard earned money on the iTunes store? Well, you might not know it, but apparently the ultimate “reflex challenge” comes bundled with every iPhone! (Well, every iPhone running the 2.0.2 firmware, at least. You see, 2.0.2 was when Apple changed things a bit, making it seemingly impossible... Read More
Mac Pro Vader has returned – looks a little beat
Last Labor Day we noticed the appearance of MacPro Vader at Atlanta’s DragonCon, and were both impressed and terrified by his amazing outfit constructed from a Mac Pro box. Well, apparently MPV lives down there in Atlanta, because who do you think we ran into yet again this weekend? Yup, it’s Mac Pro Vader, looking a little worse for wear, but not too bad considering...

Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (August 2008): Miki Black
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. This month we present you with the lovely Miki Black, a model/musician and die hard Mac Chick who is so fine, she blows our mind. Hey Miki! (We’re sure she’s never heard THAT... Read More
Mac Pro Repair Girl… Does she make house calls?
OK, is it just me or is there something ridiculously sexy when a girl knows how to upgrade a computer, let alone a Pro machine? Come to think of it, my Mac Pro has actually been acting up a bit lately. I wonder if this girl makes house calls? (Warning, I estimate this pic may not be safe at a good 80% of workplaces).

MacBook gets MacBaked
I’ve always found Apple’s laptops to run fairly warm and never felt the need to pre-heat mine, however a certain “Mr. Kidd” apparently felt otherwise. “Here’s a fun one. My buddy Kidd left his laptop in his oven while away – you know, in case of break-in or fire, it’d be safe. We’re all over after grabbing him from the airport,... Read More
“Rack”-mountable G4 system for sale
Faithful Macenstein reader Bill came across this posting for a G4 tower for sale on Craigslist. Entitled “!!!! ATTENTION COLLEGE STUDENTS, AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE GRADES UP !!“, the listing itself is nothing special, except that the system is pictured alongside a very nice rack system (which unfortunately does not seem to be included). The original image is a bit underexposed,... Read More
Exclusive: Behind the scenes photos from a very Apple-centric “French Maids TV” shoot
Fans of the highly educational “French Maid” series of how-to videos are well aware that the girls like their Apple gear, but this shoot in particular, entitled “How To Share Private Videos” features a huge assortment of Apple gear, even for them. French Maid TV was nice enough to grant Macenstein exclusive “behind the scenes” photos from the... Read More
iPhone factory workers send message of peace to our lands via the iPhone’s camera
Macrumors forum member markm49uk got a bit of a surprise when he browsed his newly purchased iPhone’s camera roll. That’s right, a series of shots of happy iPhone workers, presumably taken by other happy iPhone workers who do not value their jobs, came preloaded on markm49uk’s iPhone. We had seen some shots of the iPhone factory appear on iPhones in the past,... Read More
