Report: The Giants of Switzerland to get bizarrely tiny iPhones on April 4th?
hardmac has published the bizarre photo above alongside an article with alleged details of a Swizz iPhone launch on April 4th. The iPhone’s Swiss carrier is alleged to be Swisscom, and according to this photo, the Swiss iPhone apparently will have fewer and larger icons on the screen, perhaps to accommodate the giant fingers of the Swiss. 🙂 Thanks to faithful Macenstien...

Apple set to release OS X 10.4.12
Anyone still care about OS X 10.4 anymore? Well, if the answer was “yes”, put down that bottle of “New Coke”, turn off that episode of Max Headroom, and take a listen to this, grandpa!

If only Russia were still a super-power…
According to faithful Macenstein reader Kelly, it appears that the iPhone is about to do what a truck full of Reagans couldn’t – namely, deal communism a death blow.

New MacBook Pros tomorrow (no, this is not a duplicate post)
Well, here we are at the start of another week, which means the rumor community is once again ready to predict new MacBook Pros will be released tomorrow (that makes the 7th time in as many weeks, for those of you counting). Actually, this week there is a slightly better than average chance it might actually happen, as MacRumors is reporting that shipments of TimeCapsules AND “other”... Read More
Tiny Code says it was all a hilarious joke. Get it?
iPhone Atlas reports that Tiny Code’s iPhone firmware 1.1.4 “leak” was apparently “a joke” perpetrated by Kelly from Tiny Code, for reasons known only to Kelly, but we’re betting it has something to do with Kelly being a tool. “Tiny-Code never had any relations with Apple, Inc. or any other division of Apple. Never had the new firmware... Read More
[UPDATED] Rumor: thinkorswim releasing the first native iPhone investing app at SDK launch
More SDK launch rumors… thinkorswim, the most Google and Apple-centric brokerage firm known to man, may be set to release a “thinkPod” app for the iPhone. Details are extremely scarce, other than a “coming soon” notice on the site, but suffice it to say, odds are it will deliver the features already available for Blackberry and Pocket PC, and then...
