A drunken Pete Doherty and his MacBook Pro kicked out of a London Restaurant

An allegedly drunken and disorderly Pete Doherty (of Babyshambles fame… ahh who are we kidding? He’s famous for once dating Kate Moss) and his MacBook Pro were kicked out escorted out of the Cipriani restaurant in London this weekend. It’s rare indeed to catch celebs walking around with their MacBooks, but even rarer to find one dragging along the MagSafe adapter. ... Read More

Mysterious “Pro Woz/Apple” Graffiti pops up in the O.C.

Some mysterious pro Apple graffiti has been popping up in Orange County and San Diego, CA recently. Images of the Apple logo, the Mac smiley face, and perhaps most impressively, what appears to be a likeness of The Woz have been spotted in various locations, both indoors and out.

Flying Spaghetti Monster spotted at Apple HQ

While not true Pastafarians, we’ve been fans of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for years, so we are extremely happy to see that the FSM has blessed Apple HQ’s cafeteria with its presence. I admit I’m a little fuzzy on all 10 of the Commandments, but I think around number 8 or 9 they may have deemed it a sin to eat a false idol. Still, there’s no denying... Read More

That ain’t right…

The folks over at Gearlog, bored of filling Pepsi bottles with Coke, decided to do the unthinkable, and put the Windows 7 pre-beta on a brand new MacBook Pro. While the installation went relatively smoothly, it seems the build they had was pretty rough. “The disc didn’t do much, sadly. The system was unable to get online, and various other Windows 7 features, such... Read More

Trick or Treating at the SoHo Apple Store

Looking every bit as manly as the Tin Woodsman from the Wizard of Oz, Faithful Macenstein reader Jeff busted out the foam insulation and tinfoil and created one of the more detailed geek costumes we’ve seen. “I made this Mac Pro from foam insulation and radiator covers. Artwork done in illustrator. I marched in the parade and even went to the Apple Store in SOHO.” ... Read More

Entourage “iPhone continuity” error

Faithful Macenstein reader Nicholas Penree noticed something little odd in last night’s Entourage episode. See if you can spot it. That’s right! Whoever is in charge of continuity on the set of Entourage should be fired. Clearly for artistic reasons known only to them, the writers wanted Perrey Reeves’ Mrs. Ari to be using her iPhone upside down, yet in the... Read More

Impromptu parking lot meetings beware! Custom Hyundai Genesis fitted with 3 Macs, a touch, and an iPhone 3G

That’s right, Hyundai. Actually, over the past 10 years or so, Hyundai has quietly been upping both the quality and cost of its vehicles, so it’s not quite as bizarre as it sounds that RIDES magazine would bother tricking out a $40,000 2008 Hyundai Genesis with three Mac computers (including a MacBook Air and two Mac minis), an iPod Touch,and an iPhone 3G. Rounding... Read More
