iWash: Good clean fun for your iPhone
After 8 months with my iPhone, I have grown to love the little guy, quirks and all. In fact, the only issue I still have with my iPhone is it is nearly impossible to keep the touch screen looking its best. Apparently the touch screen, combined with my love of cheeseballs, is a recipe for disaster. If only there were a 3-inch tall, bikini clad girl that could appear from time to... Read More

Mick Jagger is dead to me
That’s right. He’s dead to me. I will no longer be returning his calls, and he knows why. And so does anyone who watched the Super Bowl last night (which was, by the way, the best Super Bowl ever). If you happened to have missed it, here’s why… First, let me start by saying I actually understood when the Rolling Stones lent their “Start Me Up”... Read More
NBC shows on Amazon for $1.89. Was Apple lying?
Above: Where’s the rampant price gouging we thought NBC was insisting on? Remember back during the whole NBC/Universal pulling out of iTunes debacle a few months back, Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes, made this famous quote? “We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase. We hope they will... Read More
Put down the Halo 3 kids, “Dark Castle” about to “Return”
Many of you may not have even been born in 1986, but if you’re a longtime Mac user capable of voting, odds are you remember the original Dark Castle. The game was notable for its sense of humor, unlockable extras, easter eggs, and its unique use of sound effects. A sequel, Beyond Dark Castle was released the following year, and improved on the gameplay while maintaining... Read More
Apple meets Twin Peaks meets Godzilla
Prepare for a journey into madness. Faithful Macenstein reader killbot sent in this 1995 Japanese Apple commercial he came across on YouTube. I’m not sure how long commercial breaks are in Japan, but at 4 minutes long, this is bordering on short film territory. I have no idea what they are saying, but I’m not sure even if it were in English I would understand this. The... Read More

If you can sit, you can get fit… The Hawaii Chair!
OK, this is not Mac related, and I know you guys frown on videos, but if you don’t at least crack a smile watching this, you have no soul. (iPhone users click here to watch the video) Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Kelly (who begged us not to post it) for the link! Read More
Apple.com: A life remembered
Inspired by our last post about the history of Apple.com (and more importantly, the first comment on it) we decided to take a more thorough trip down memory lane. Behold Apple.com “A life in Pictures”. (iPhone users click here to watch the video) Yeah, it’s a bit light on the ancient stuff, but don’t blame us, blame flickr user Kernel Panic, from whom we...

Sure, the MacBook Air looks great, but how does it taste?
(iPhone users click here to watch the video) It took all 4 Today Show regulars to properly gush over the MacBook Air, but only one, Meredith Viera, chose to lick it. Good thing they kept it away from Al – no telling what would have happened. Read More
