Detective Munch denies choking Apple Store employee

Richard Belzer‘s “Detective Munch” character holds the distinction of being the only fictional character (played by a single actor) to appear on eight different television shows, and it looks like that number could go up to 9, assuming you count Apple Store security footage. Earlier this week Belzer was accused by NY Apple Store employee Milan Agnew of assault... Read More

Apple’s most successful Hollywood product placements

Speaking of beautiful celebrity Mac Chicks, I used to follow Alyssa Milano on Twitter, not only because she is still remarkably hot, but she is one of the true celebrity geek girls out there, as well as a die hard Mac Chick. However, being a celebrity apparently comes with a LOT of free time, and her near constant Tweets just kept me from focusing on my truly important ones, like... Read More

Steve Jobs could totally bang Jolene Blalock

If you’re a fan of Star Trek, odds are you know of the super hot Jolene Blalock – you know, the girl so hot she wasn’t just hot for a Star Trek chick (like Jeri Ryan) she was hot for a TV chick in general, which is saying something. Well, faithful Macenstein reader Dan sent us this clip of Jolene being interview on G4’s Attack of the Show, and not only describing... Read More

Some things are just so stupid that they’re awesome…

… and some things are just stupid. I am somewhat on the fence here about the Retro TV Dinner Turkey Corn and Mash Potatoes Gadget Case for the iPhone/iTouch. Sure, it seems like a good idea for a joke gift, but at $20 it rivals the cost of many “real” iPhone cases that a person might actually use. Now, if it looked like bacon, that would be different. But as... Read More

Attention Time Travelers: Your iPhone may not work in 1990

I knew there was a reason I didn’t throw out my Motorola MicroTAC 9800X! Faithful Macenstein reader Colin writes: I was bored and trying to find something to watch on Hulu when I saw this: I thought you’d get a kick out of it, apparently going back in time 17 years totally screws with the iPhone. Wow Colin. You know, I’ve been bored before, but I guess I’ve... Read More

Can’t afford a snowboard? Just use two PowerBooks!

These things may not be able to run snow Leopard, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have fun in the snow! Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Florian for the tip! [via Zweck Entfremder]  Read More

“Felicity” predicts iPad in 1999

Felicity‘s writers might not have been able to predict that letting their star cut her hair would doom the show, but the DID predict the iPad a full11 years before Steve unveiled it. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the tip!  Read More

Apple Store Wedding looks as uncomfortable as you’d think

As big a fanboy as I am, and as understanding as the Bride of Macenstein is, I don’t think I would ever attempt to get married in an Apple store. It’s sort of like getting married in your mistress’s apartment. Yet that’s what the Li’s did this Sunday (Valentine’s Day). Yes, there’s nothing like committing to spend the rest of your life... Read More

Surprise Surprise: Apple cameos abound in Toy Story 3 trailer

We’ve all seen Steve Jobs crowbar Apple products into past Pixar films, but given how many Apple cameos we can see in the brief two and half minutes of Toy Story 3’s trailer, odds are this thing is going to play like an Apple commercial. In fact, I don’t want to give too much away, but I’ve heard the ending takes place inside Apple’s 5th Ave Store... Read More
