Wow, that was quick

I won’t say this isn’t homophobic, and I won’t say this isn’t racist, but I also won’t say I didn’t laugh once or twice. And man, talk about a fast turn around! Surprisingly I find the singing and acting quality to be about the same as the original. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Kevin for the link!  Read More

Move over GarageBand… Microsoft’s Songsmith is here!

I crap you not, this thing appears to be a real product… (warning, this video also appears to be “songtastic”). “Microsoft, huh? So it’s pretty easy to use?” (1:55) Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the tip!  Read More

Video: Phil Schiller’s Keynote was lip-smacking good!

OK, am I crazy, or did anyone else watching the Macworld ’09 Phil-note find it distracting that Phil’s tongue appeared to be “tasting” the air, like a snake hunting a mouse? Above: So, did Phil Schiller eat a peanut butter sandwich before Macworld or what? And I didn’t even put them all in. Oddly, I find that watching this video has somewhat the... Read More

When Steve Jobs says “Jump”, Phil Schiller asks “How High?”

When I heard Phil Schiller was going to deliver this year’s Macworld keynote speech, I admit I wasn’t all that excited. But all that’s changed after seeing this clip of Phil Schiller at Macworld 1999. Watch in amazement as Phil leaps from a 20 foot platform to demonstrate how tough the Tangerine iBook is (or, at least how tough the air mattress he lands on is).... Read More

Apple reinvents the wheel – The Onion reinvents the Mactini

I love the Onion, I really do. In fact, I got a 2-year subscription to The Onion for Christmas. But check out the video below, and tell me if it looks familiar… Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard If you said “It’s basically is the same joke used in the Mactini video (below) done by the UK’s Peter Serafinowicz a couple weeks ago,”,... Read More

I bet someone threw a Zune further…

Behold Roald Bradstock, former Olympic javelin thrower and current fashion plate. Here we see Roald set the world record for iPod throwing, and amazing 154 yards. Or at least we assume he is setting it. The filming is so disjointed, and there appears to be no one with any type of badge or even mustache officiating the event, but given that Roald has built his entire (sad) post-Olympic... Read More

No wonder it’s the number 1 app on iTunes…

I’m guessing a lot of the sales of iFart Mobile are based on insecure people looking to be the life of the party at holiday gatherings this week, so it will be interesting to see how sales hold up next week. Luckily for me I can save the 99¢, as I was blessed/cursed with the ability to make all those sounds without an iPhone. But still, if I was in the market for a farting... Read More

Mac Vs. PC – Transformers Style

Wow. This is one of those “made after hours by people who know what their doing” special effects videos that is so well done technically that you just wish they had spent $5 and hired two real actors for the opening scene.  Read More

Apple’s new iPod touch web ad “shakes things up”

Or “tilts things up” might be more accurate, I guess. While not even coming close in coolness to Nintendo’s “Wario Land” YouTube video (trust me, watch it if you haven’t seen it), Apple’s new iPod touch web ad DOES get the whole “You gotta tilt your iPod to do stuff” message across pretty nicely. Thanks to faithful Macenstein... Read More
