Apple’s hinge-less “MacBook Pro Canvas”
I am a fan of Apple’s aluminum MacBook Pro/Air enclosures, and rumor has it the MacBook will soon be ditching its girly plastic and adopting the cool metal enclosure as well. As much as I would love to see this, it seems a little odd to me that Apple would bump their consumer laptop to aluminum without giving their pro offerings a much-needed redesign. Apple has always liked... Read More
What’s your favorite keyboard shortcut combination?
As someone who has more or less raised laziness to an art form, I am obviously a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts. This afternoon, it occurred to me that my current all time favorite must be hitting the “U” key in Adobe After Effects. This simple button press (when a layer is selected) brings up all the current properties that you have applied keyframes to in a layer,... Read More
iPhone users: If you can’t join ’em, beat em
It looks like Apple may finally be catching a break on all that bad publicity surrounding the rash of “iPod muggings” in recent years. Unfortunately, the break may come at the expense of news of some new iPhone muggings. According to MacBlogz, Ohio police are looking for the “person” (and I use the term loosely) who is shown in the below video brutally attacking... Read More
Watch Woz jailbreak Kathy Griffin’s iPhone
This is likely old news, as Woz and Kathy Griffin have been broken up for months, but since I doubt anyone has ever watched Kathy’s “My Life on the D-List” show, this is likely new to you. In fact, this clip running on our site might represent Kathy’s highest ratings to date. Chicks are obviously drawn to the “bad boy”, and you don’t get... Read More
Apple’s subliminal Coldplay iTunes commercial secretly hawks Leopard
Hmm… something about this Colplay iTunes video makes me want to buy Leopard… Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Daniel for the tip/pics! Read More
Studying the effects of centrifugal force on the MacBook Air
I’m a big fan of people with useless talents, mainly because they make me feel better about myself. After all, I may have no talent, but then I didn’t waste all my free time practicing something that is ultimately pointless. One such useless but admittedly entertaining talent (when put into a compilation reel, at least) is Peter’s ability to spin almost any flat... Read More
Using the world’s oldest video game to pick up chicks
Is it possible to make the classic game Pong cool again? Yes, actually, it is, although these three dorks try their best to blow it. Using their ginormous brains, these guys were able to create a 3-way game of Pong via iPod touches that are able to somehow sense each other, and pass the ball from unit to unit. It is a very cool proof-of-concept and an indicator of great things... Read More
He’s got the whole world in his hands
Well, it’s not quite Google Earth, but earthscape.com has a pretty feature complete demo of a 3D globe running on the iPhone complete with tilt navigation and that pinchy zoomy goodness we all paid the big bucks for. Of course, Google Earth on the iPhone is pretty much a party trick, as who the hell needs the ability to zoom around the earth while waiting in line at Dunkin... Read More

Video: How people used to rent movies
Many of you may be too young to remember, but believe it or not, before there was iTunes, people used to actually go to a store and rent physical movies. Historic �Blockbuster�... Read More
