Fake excitement reaches new levels as Microsoft Store opens

Faithful Macenstein reader Justin sent us this link of a video from the grand opening of the new Microsoft retail store in Scottsdale, AZ. I won’t go into the whole “completely copying the look of the Apple Stores”, the color coded shirts of employees, and the “high fives” of the first customers that we’ve seen in hundreds of Apple Store openings... Read More

My GOD those are huge coffee mugs!

Stewart points out the hypocrisy of Chetry doing a report on the dangers of texting while driving, when just the day before she touted all the real-time traffic features of CNN’s new mobile iPhone app, saying it was great to have that available... Read More

The iPhone can handle its liquor

We’ve all been there… you’re at an Oktoberfest party, taped to a wall with three of your friends while a hot chick throws beer at you. It’s more or less a tradition come October. Well, German TV personality Harald Schmidt (think if Conan O’Brien looked like Wolf Blitzer) decided to take that age-old drinking game and apply it to Smartphones. In honor... Read More

You just KNOW Ballmer still owns that jacket

I saw this post in the MacRumors forum by zamolx3, and not only did I think that it was brilliant, I also thought I had nothing better to write about. Why Microsoft is not Apple 🙂 1986, Steve Ballmer trying to sell Windows 1.0 1984, Steve Jobs demos Apple Macintosh No comment  Read More
