Video: Hands on with the MacBook Air
Our good buddy Xavier over at notebooks.com got to spend a good half hour with the MacBook Air, and posted his initial thoughts, as well as this video walk through. Overall Xavier was less than impressed, and found that quite a few shortcomings would prevent him from ever recommending the MacBook Air as someone’s primary notebook. That being said, however, he admits he’ll... Read More
Where’s the 500 GB external hard drive?
Very cute commercial, and it actually explains Time Machine fairly well in 30 seconds. Although, simply saying “It comes on every Mac” sort of glosses over that you need to buy a $200 external drive in order to actually use Time Machine, but we’ll assume the 40 second “Director’s Cut” does.

The “iPhone SDK bitching” developers – A bunch of babies?
Above: Delphi managed to control a car using the iPhone’s mobile Safari. Now, I’m sure an iPhone SDK will lead to some amazing apps (and a ton of lame ones) but honestly, I think many developers started bitching a bit too early and too loudly last year when Apple announced the iPhone was going to allow for “Safari-only” apps. I understand the major arguments... Read More
Video: Is this how the MacBook’s multi-touch track pad will work?
Elantech demoed their new multi-touch laptop trackpad this week at CES, and it seems to function quite a bit like the much-rumored multi-touch MacBook’s trackpad is supposed to. Although Elantech’s pad is much smaller than the one many Apple fanboys have mocked-up, functionally, it behaves very similarly to the iPhone – with pinch zoom in/out movements. One cool... Read More

David Lynch: “Don’t watch movies on a f*#%ing phone!”
Director and all-around weirdo (in a good way) David Lynch has some unkind words for iPhone users (and cell phone users in general) who think the latest “wide screen” video phones provide a suitable movie watching experience. “Now, if you’re playing a movie on a telephone, you will never in a trillion years experience the film” says David. If you watch,... Read More
Classic Newton Ad: “Gotham”
“How do I get a purchase order to the city that never sleeps from a town that went to bed an hour ago?” Why, whip out your trusty iPhone, er, Newton, of course! Man! I can’t believe the Newton could send faxes, and the iPhone can’t. I feel so ripped off! Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Bill for the link. Read More
DOOM for the iPhone: Because you CAN, thats why!
Want to play DOOM on your iPhone? No, of course you don’t! But you want it to be by choice, right? Well, luckily, you now have the option to not play DOOM on your terms, thanks to psychochromatic (aka Stephen T) over at Management.Doom. Stephen T recently took over the development of iPhoneDoom for the iPhone from original developer stepwhite, and a new widescreen, playable... Read More
iPhone firmware 1.1.3 – Like a fine wine, the iPhone gets sweeter with time
Assuming the above Gear Live video of a beta version of the iPhone’s upcoming 1.1.3 firmware is legit (and it is looking pretty legit) then the iPhone is about to get a whole lot cooler (no easy feat). Multiple SMS address, (in-the-ballpark) GPS via Google Maps, Multiple springboards and dragable icons… you know, everything the iPhone should have had at launch. Looks... Read More
Looney (i)Tunes!
Warner Brothers has released roughly 60 “classic” Looney Tunes episodes on iTunes (the definition of “classic” here seemingly an even split between meaning “good” and “old”, but there are some real gems here to be sure). Each $1.99 iTunes “episode” contains 2 different WB shorts, and runs approximately 15 minutes. Given... Read More
