Without the iPhone there would be no Metallica
Well, OK, maybe that’s not quite true – I guess Metallica did “OK” before 2007, but according to the below video interview with James Hetfield (conducted by a cute 17-year old Dutch fan named Cissie), it appears that the iPhone has become a part of Hetfield’s songwriting workflow. “A lot of times, I’ll just see words… that are...

Way to sell the rollercoaster illusion, kid
If you are a fan of horrible video, as am I, you will love this. I guess this has something to do with Chris “Leave Britney Alone” Crocker, but I fail to see it. And speaking of failing, this video fails on every level, including apparently trying to run Photobooth on a 1995 Radius clone, thus the 3 frames per second video. Read More
Wow, Samsung has some pretty big balls
Hypothetical question for you… If you were going to make an iPhone clone, and you had gobs of money to hire ANY musical group in the world to appear in your commercial, would you think it would be a good idea to choose a group with the name of your main competitor in the title? Well, Samsung apparently did for their new Instinct ad (below) featuring “The Apples in Stereo”‘s... Read More
Finally, irrefutable video proof that Steve Jobs is healthy
Despite numerous press releases and insider reports claiming Apple’s CEO is doing just fine, the press just can’t seem to let go of the idea that Steve Jobs’ health might be suffering. In fact, it seems these days nothing short of Steve bending over to let the press conduct their own prostate exams will quiet these doomsaying Chicken Littles. Well, luckily for... Read More
365 pictures and not a girl in a one of ’em
Here’s an idea that sounds better on paper than on YouTube… First, buy a new iPhone. Next, use its camera to take a different picture of your ridiculously bad bed head each morning. Finally, string it all together in iMovie with an original blue’s riff, and viola! Instant classic! Or not. I caught a little flack when I posted my breath-taking iPhone video documenting...

iPhone’s dont kill people. Doogie Howser with an iPhone kills people
Say it ain’t so! The iPhone used for evil?!? Yup. Faithful Macenstein reader Scott let us know that the iPhone makes its debut as an instrument of evil wielded by none other than Neil Patrick Harris, who stars in Joss Whedon’s new mini-musical thingy, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Above: Dr. Horrible has created a pretty sweet iPhone app for remotely controlling... Read More
I don’t mind iPhone bashing if it’s done right
And this is. Nice job to all involved. It’s funny to think that odds are this was edited on a Mac… Video tutorial: unlock iphone Read More
The only thing lamer than standing in line for an iPhone is…
…being the “color commentator” reporter who is sent down by a local news affiliate to cover the people standing in line for the iPhone. (Of course, I suppose being the Mac news site that covers the guy who is sent to cover the guys standing in line might be even lamer…) Take KTLA’s Eric Spillman (please). Eric, when asked to go down and report on the... Read More
Apple breeds new race of international iPhone salesmen
Wanna see something creepy? Not quite “dead body” creepy, but up there… In taking a look at the various international iPhone 3G “Guided Tour” videos on Apple’s sites, one thing quickly becomes obvious – In addition to all the R&D time Apple spends on hardware and software, it appears they also have a rather healthy gene-splicing division.  That’s... Read More
And the first iPhone game I buy will be…
Aqua Forest. Take a look at this video and tell me if it isn’t the coolest thing you’ve seen yet demoed on the iPhone/touch. Finally, something truly creative that takes advantage of both the touchscreen and the motion sensor in Apple’s handhelds. This seems like a safe way for me to satisfy not only my inner pyromaniac, but my inner carpenter and fireman as well.... Read More
