Busting Myths with the iPhone
Faithful Macenstein reader and Mythbusters viewer chaplare, who watches the show on a slight bittorrent delay, sent us some shots from last week’s episode showing Adam Savage using his iPhone’s stop watch feature to time various experiments, thus securing his cool factor with the kids in a way his graphic T-Shirts and hat never could. Looks like an Incase case as well.... Read More
Apple’s first “Mac Chick”?
And here we thought we were being original. An anonymous reader sent us this pic of a purported Apple ad, circa 1990 for what appears to be the Mac Classic (Aka “Civic”). We’re unable to verify its authenticity (perhaps the Woz, who we know reads this site daily, can help us out?) but if legit it appears Apple may have invented our Mac Chick feature back when...

Apple Store displaying Jail broken iPhone
Who can tell these days if anything on the web is real, what with these newfangled computers and all, but if this flickr pic is not ‘shopped, it’s a pretty damn funny shot. [UPDATE: Faithful Macenstein reader max just sent us HIS pics (see below) of the several iPhones he claims to have unlocked at the Biltmore, AZ Apple Store using jailbreakme.com. Seems to be an epidemic! The... Read More
Imitation is the sincerest form of imitating someone
Engadget Japan noticed something looked a tad familiar about the latest Sony DSC-T2 press pics. See if you can spot it. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Brian for the tip! Read More
What’s wrong with this picture?
Hint: There’s a giant yellow arrow pointing at it. Faithful Macenstein reader The Larch sent in an oddity he noticed while surfing the Apple online store. It seems for whatever reason, Apple is depicting the iPhone with the volume/mute switch on the opposite side – the iPhone’s LEFT instead of its RIGHT (assuming the iPhone is looking at you). We’re assuming... Read More
The REAL reason the iPhone gets so much press
Even as an Apple Fanboy, I have moments of incredulous disgust caused by all the press the iPhone has received. While searching for tech stories it seems these days we must wade through 10 (or more) iPhone-related articles for every 1 non-iPhone tech story. Given that only a million or so iPhones have been sold, and the Earth has about 6.7 billion people, this amount of press coverage... Read More
Apple Store gets the blues
Apple’s somewhat drab, monochromatic online store got a small splash of color today. The former “bachelor pad”-inspired gray, white, and black (left) have been replaced with a “I’m now seeing someone” BLUE, white, and black (right). We fully expect analysts to raise Apple’s target stock price accordingly, up to around $190 or so, because,... Read More
