Is Apple inspiring fashion?
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Is_Apple_inspiring_fashion'; Apple’s designs often serve as a source of inspiration/blatant theft for other companies in the tech industry, but can it be that Apple’s influence is spilling over into the fashion industry as well? Not many things go with that blouse that Julie Benz was wearing at the 2008 Jenny Han Fall 2008 Fashion... Read More
Things that make you go “Duh!” – The iPhone’s Maps icon
I was looking at the iPhone this morning, and started wondering about the Maps icon. Since there is a reason behind pretty much everything Apple’s designer’s do, I wondered if there was a reason Apple chose to show Interstate 280 on the icon. Assuming the answer was “yes”, I decided to try to find that location. So in what I thought was a brilliant move... Read More
Celebrity Mac Chick sighting: Blake Lively
OK, this one took a bit of enhancing to confirm, but it looks like Blake Lively, aka “Serena van der Woodsen” on Gossip Girl, is a Mac chick, or at least rocking the iPhone. These shots were taken on March 14th while Blake was walking to the set of Gossip Girls in New York City. It’s a little hard to tell from that photo, but a little Photoshop “Level Adjustment”...

iSmoke… maybe there IS such a thing as bad publicity
Do you hear that beeping? That is the sound of every one of Apple’s lawyers frantically dialing Lucky Strike’s Germany office. Out of all the potential companies Apple may be looking to create some advertising synergy with, odds are a cigarette company ranks fairly low on the list. Faithful German Macenstein reader Roman sent in this shot of a new Lucky Strike ad that... Read More

A little something for the ladies… Justin Long naked
Yum. Well, here’s a little something for the ladies. A Shirtless Justin “I’m a Mac” Long on vacation. (Yes, that’s Drew Barrymore he’s with. Looks like Justin’s got game!)

What? No mouse? Slacker…
Check out this awesome pics sent in to Steampunk by the amazingly talented (and apparently amazingly pussy-whipped) Dave Veloz. That’s right, that is a Mac mini, all decked out in 1800’s finery, and served up to Dave’s new bride as a wedding gift. Not sure where the coal-powered mouse is, but I assume one is in the works.

Celebrity Mac Chick sighting: Jessica Simpson!
Well this is a major feather in our collective Mac hats. Apparently Jessica Simpson, aka the reason the Giants won the Superbowl, is a Mac Chick! Normally it takes very keen eyes to notice what Jessica Simpson is holding in a photo, but since I am happily married (plus the fact that I would never have a chance with her even if I wasn’t) allows me the freedom to view her...
